Old Westbury Steel Tex: Premier Pool Waterproofing Solution

Old Westbury Steel Tex, also known as pool wire, is a resilient, paper-backed steel mesh specifically engineered for constructing ground-embedded swimming pools. Its primary function is to create a durable, reinforced waterproof barrier between the pool cavity and the newly constructed swimming pool, ensuring long-term protection and longevity. This effective solution not only minimizes concrete waste but also enhances the resilience of in-ground pools.

The Crafting Process of Steel Tex

Old Westbury Steel Tex undergoes a meticulous manufacturing process, transforming it into a securely-fastened mesh using cold-drawn, galvanized, welded steel wires. This 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, augmented by a composite of glass fibers and a cloth woven from intricate PVC flat threads, significantly boosting its durability. Old Westbury Steel Tex has a weight range of 155 to 165g/m².

Benefits of Using Steel Tex in Pool Construction

Despite its remarkable strength, Old Westbury Steel Tex retains impressive flexibility, a crucial attribute for swimming pool construction. Employing this pool mesh guarantees that the final structure, regardless of design, will be robust and long-lasting. Furthermore, it withstands gunite buildup and is resistant to damage from cleaning products and tools.
