East Islip Steel Tex: Premier Pool Waterproofing Solution

East Islip Steel Tex, commonly referred to as pool wire, is a durable, paper-backed steel mesh engineered for constructing ground-embedded swimming pools. Its main function is to form a sturdy, reinforced waterproof barrier between the pool cavity and the new swimming pool, ensuring long-lasting protection and longevity. This effective solution not only minimizes concrete waste but also enhances the durability of in-ground pools.

The Crafting Process of Steel Tex

Steel Tex is created through a detailed manufacturing process, transforming it into a securely-fastened mesh using cold-drawn, galvanized, welded steel wires. This process results in an exceptionally strong and heavy-duty waterproof lining. The mesh is further fortified with a wax coating and a reinforced kraft paper layer, complemented by a composite of glass fibers and a cloth woven from intricate PVC flat threads, significantly enhancing its durability. East Islip Steel Tex has a weight range of 155 to 165g/m².

Benefits of Using Steel Tex in Pool Construction

Despite its outstanding strength, East Islip Steel Tex maintains impressive flexibility, a vital characteristic for swimming pool construction. Utilizing this pool mesh ensures that the final structure, regardless of design, will be robust and long-lasting. Additionally, it withstands gunite buildup and is resistant to damage from cleaning products and tools.
