Southampton Steel Tex: Optimal Pool Waterproofing Solution

Southampton Steel Tex, also known as pool wire, is a resilient, paper-backed steel mesh specially tailored for the construction of ground-embedded swimming pools. Its primary function is to establish a robust, reinforced waterproof barrier between the pool cavity and the new swimming pool, offering longevity and protection. This solution not only minimizes concrete waste but also enhances the in-ground pool's durability.

Crafting Steel Tex

Steel Tex undergoes a meticulous manufacturing process, where it is transformed 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 boosting its durability. Steel Tex boasts a weight range of 155 to 165g/m².

Advantages of Steel Tex in Pool Construction

Despite its robustness, Steel Tex maintains remarkable flexibility, vital for swimming pool construction. Utilizing this pool mesh ensures that the final structure, regardless of design, will be robust and long-lasting. Moreover, it withstands gunite buildup and is resistant to damage from cleaning products and tools.
