Head of the Harbor Steel Tex: Reinforced Waterproofing for Pools

Head of the Harbor Steel Tex is a crucial component in constructing durable swimming pools, offering a reliable and long-lasting solution for enhancing waterproof layers. Also known as pool wire, this paper-backed steel mesh is designed to strengthen the structural integrity of ground-embedded pools. By creating a robust barrier between the pool cavity and the concrete, it helps ensure the pool's durability and minimizes concrete waste.

How Is Steel Tex Manufactured?

Steel Tex is created through a detailed manufacturing process that ensures both strength and flexibility. The mesh consists of cold-drawn, galvanized, welded steel wires woven into a sturdy grid. This grid is then coated with wax and reinforced with a kraft paper layer. Additionally, the mesh incorporates a composite of glass fibers and cloth woven from complex PVC flat threads, which further enhances its resilience. With a weight range of 155 to 165g/m², Steel Tex provides an ideal combination of durability and adaptability.

Why Use Steel Tex for Swimming Pool Construction?

Steel Tex is celebrated for its strength and versatility, making it an excellent choice for various swimming pool designs. Its durability ensures it can handle the pressures of gunite application and resist damage from cleaning products and tools. This makes Steel Tex a dependable option for maintaining the long-term stability of in-ground pool structures. Whether you are building a new pool or reinforcing an existing one, Steel Tex delivers a secure and robust lining solution.
