What are the film pools, the pool of film. How reliable is the pool cover with film and the PVC film pool?
We answer: film pools - pools for the decoration and waterproofing of which a special polyvinylchloride film or, as it is also called, PVC film is used.
PVC film pool can be made in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes.
The film pool is based on a reinforced concrete frame, like a mosaic pool or a tiled pool, but compared to these types of pools, the film pool is inferior in external characteristics.
PVC film pool is cheaper than tile pools. For film pools, a two-layer PVC film with a thickness of 0.8 - 1.5 mm is used. In the event of mechanical damage, the film pool can be updated by replacing the film coating without much effort.
Film pools are resistant to climatic changes in temperature, the effects of ultraviolet rays.
Covering the pool with PVC film is also used for the reconstruction of existing pools. It is quickly mounted and has a relatively low cost.
Film pools: disadvantages
PVC film pool, like any other type of pool, in addition to advantages, has a number of disadvantages.
Manufacturers give PVC films up to 10 years of warranty, as opposed to polypropylene pools, the warranty period of which is up to 50 years of operation.
Even with careful use, the PVC film must be changed at the end of the warranty period, as the color of the PVC coating may become cloudy and scratches may appear on the surface of the film pool.
Film pools are not very convenient to clean than polypropylene or composite pools.
