Pool Enclosures - Technical Information

Structure

Our enclosures are made from extruded aluminium sections to 6063-T6 and BS1474 specifications. British design and craftsmanship provide a unique structural system which can incorporate spans of over 13m.

Finish

Metal surfaces are coated with a velvet smooth finish in our popular standard colours of brilliant white, racing green and dark brown. Custom colours to match a special colour scheme can be produced at an additional cost. The finish is applied in a number of spray coatings of high-quality powdered polyester. Total adhesion to all surfaces is achieved by using a sophisticated electrostatic technology.

Roofing

The roof sections of each bay are glazed with high-tec Makrolon® long-life polycarbonate made by Röhm. This material has a double-wall cell-structure to ensure temperature stability. This is achieved by limiting heat loss and maximising internal reflection of heat in the enclosure. Mould and algae are dramatically reduced by using a ‘no-drop’ coating which limits the formation of condensation droplets.

Side Walls

The side walls are glazed in a clear acrylic sheet which is 6mm thick. The material is crystal clear, light-weight, easy to maintain and very durable.

Weather Proof

Sealing brushes, manufactured from anti-static nylon fibres, are used throughout the enclosure to ensure that wind, dust, leaves, rain and snow stay outside.

Doors

Our folding concertina doors allow access into the enclosure in seconds. In addition to these doors we can also include a specially designed internal door, sliding doors at the rear and sides and additional windows and vents. All our doors and openings use the latest safety locks to provide security throughout.

Rollers & Track

Each enclosure is fitted with large diameter rollers which fit exactly into the tailor made track. This ensures the enclosure returns to its exact anchor points each time it is open and closed.

Joining Spigots

Our joining spigots are designed to meet all loading stress requirements. We have used aluminium spigots to achieve the highest possible strength and compatibility with the rest of the aluminium structure.

Anchoring

Each enclosure is anchored to the ground using an extremely strong and robust system. The system uses a quick-release device which requires very little effort to attach and detach.

Fixed End Bay

The fixed end bay is permanently attached to the ground and is glazed with 6mm solid acrylic. Optional doors can be installed in this end to suit your application.
