The first step of production of swimming pool basin is to prepare the mould – thorough cleaning and applying separators.
We apply a double layer of gelcoat on the prepared form to achieve smooth, long lasting surface.
The next step is the application of vinyl-ester resin as well as strand mat and roving fabric. This is the main load bearing layer that gives the pool it’s strength and rigidity.
The next step is the application of a polyurethane foam that provides insulation in order to minimize water temperature losses.
The final step of production is the installation of the pool devices into the shell.
Your dream pool is ready for transport.
1. First gelcoat layer
It is an external (visible to the naked eye) layer of the pool. We offer five different colors.
2. Second gelcoat layer
Second layer of gel coat improving the basin resistance to provide our trademark quality finish.
3. Barrier Coat layer
Spray barrier layer protects the pool surface against osmosis and bubbles.
4. Protective layer
Vinyl ester resin layer that doubles the protection of the barrier coat layer.
5. Construction layer
It consists of several (depending on the size of the pool) layers of glass mat and resin. This is the main load bearing structure designed to strengthen the entire shell.
6. Steel reinforcement
Steel profiles are placed under the pool frame and on the embossing. Its task is to prevent the walls from bending and additionally strengthen the entire basin.
7. Reinforcement layer
The roving fabric is an additional material strengthening the structure.
8. Insulation layer
Insulation layer made out of polyurethane foam which task is to reduce heat loss and protect the pool from external damage.
Skimmer technology
Our polyester swimming pools are developed solely using the skimmer technology. This simply means that the water goes through the skimmer (which is a hole in the swimming pool wall carved at the water level and connected to a piping system responsible for transporting the water into the filter). Then the filter pump sucks in the water and pumps it back into the nozzles placed on the opposite wall. Once filtered, the water goes back into the swimming pool thus completing the cycle.
Starlight Pools offers a wide range of swimming pools, enclosures and equipment. We supply and install swimming pools across all areas of England. We offer a comprehensive service and can take of all the step of the installation, starting with excavating the hole and finishing with filling the pool with water.
