Glen Cove Steel Tex: Premier Pool Waterproofing Solution

Glen Cove Steel Tex, commonly known as pool wire, is a robust, paper-backed steel mesh tailored for the construction of ground-embedded swimming pools. Its chief function is to establish a reliable, reinforced waterproof layer between the pool cavity and the newly built swimming pool, providing long-lasting protection and durability. This efficient solution not only reduces concrete waste but also enhances the strength and longevity of in-ground pools.

The Crafting Process of Steel Tex

Steel Tex is created through an intricate manufacturing process, forming a securely-fastened mesh using cold-drawn, galvanized, welded steel wires. This results in an extremely strong and heavy-duty waterproof lining. The mesh is further reinforced with a wax coating and a kraft paper layer, strengthened by a composite of glass fibers and a cloth woven from complex PVC flat threads, significantly boosting its durability. Steel Tex weighs between 155 and 165g/m².

Benefits of Using Steel Tex in Pool Construction

Despite its remarkable strength, Glen Cove Steel Tex remains notably flexible, an essential characteristic for swimming pool construction. Using this pool mesh guarantees that the final structure, regardless of design, will be robust and durable. Additionally, it withstands gunite buildup and resists damage from cleaning products and tools.
