Stony Brook Steel Tex: Premier Pool Waterproofing Solution

Stony Brook Steel Tex, often referred to as pool wire, is a robust, paper-backed steel mesh specifically designed for the construction of ground-embedded swimming pools. Its primary function is to establish a dependable, reinforced waterproof barrier 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 a meticulous manufacturing 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, enhanced by a composite of glass fibers and a cloth woven from complex PVC flat threads, significantly boosting its durability. Steel Tex has a weight range of 155 to 165g/m².

Benefits of Using Steel Tex in Pool Construction

Despite its remarkable strength, Stony Brook Steel Tex remains highly flexible, an essential quality 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.
