Why do Myrtha Pools use a PVC floor membrane as opposed to stainless PVC coated panels?
A – In a Myrtha Pool the stainless steel PVC coated panels are only used in those areas which are deemed to be structural; being the walls and gutters. The Alkor floor membrane achieves a very good water-tight finish and the concrete floor sections only purpose, is to afford the floor membrane a rigid base to sit on. The floor membrane offers a flexible and resilient waterproofing solution that is also cost effective in terms of the ‘life cycle’ costing of a Myrtha Pool. The floor membrane can accept tiles too, and tiles are often used for lane lines and are fixed in place with flexible epoxy adhesives. There are currently millions of square metres of Alkor 2000 membrane installed world wide, under every conceivable type of climatic condition and pool environment. This membrane requires no periodic maintenance and has an expected life of 20 to 25 years.
