Sag Harbor Steel Tex: Premier Pool Waterproofing Solution

Sag Harbor Steel Tex, often referred to as pool wire, is a robust, paper-backed steel mesh specifically designed for constructing ground-embedded swimming pools. Its primary role is to create a dependable, reinforced waterproof barrier between the pool cavity and the newly built swimming pool, ensuring long-term protection and durability. This practical 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 manufactured through a meticulous process, forming 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 reinforced with a wax coating and a kraft paper layer, bolstered by a composite of glass fibers and a cloth woven from intricate PVC flat threads, significantly increasing its durability. Steel Tex has a weight range of 155 to 165g/m².

Benefits of Using Steel Tex in Pool Construction

Despite its impressive strength, Sag Harbor Steel Tex remains highly flexible, an essential attribute for swimming pool construction. Using this pool mesh ensures 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.
