Types of swimming pools: PREKAT - Indoor - Concrete

Pool types: Depending on the construction method, the swimming pools they are distinguished between builders and prefabricated, presenting great variations in cost.

In the first case, after the soil excavation work is completed, the pool it is molded from the beginning and built from concrete or shotcrete, while in the second it is assembled and placed immediately after excavation.

Prefabricated Swimming Pool 

The prefabricated swimming pools, depending on how they are placed, are divided into permanent and temporary. The permanent ones are delivered with the necessary operating equipment and are placed submerged in the ground on a layer of inert materials or lightly reinforced concrete.

They are produced in standardized dimensions, shapes and sizes according to the mold provided by the manufacturer. The temporary ones are placed without preliminary work on the ground, on a flat and smooth surface, they have a circular or rectangular shape and simple equipment. They are made of a durable membrane with a metal frame, have a relatively shallow depth and are easy to transport. To build or install a prefabricated pool, the opening must be larger than its dimensions.

Built pools are made of concrete (at the stage of concreting, the installation of the networks and lighting is planned), followed by plastering with waterproof, pressed cement mortar and shaping the final surface with a special type of tile or paint.

Shotcrete (gunite) pools have the ability to take any irregular shape. After the excavation, the plumbing and electrical networks, as well as an iron grid, are placed on the walls. At the end, concrete is pressure shot without the need to build a formwork.

The pool wall must be watertight, which is achieved by adding mass sealants during concreting and by plastering afterwards. For permanent prefabricated pools, various methods are used that combine synthetic materials (fiberglass) and flexible PVC sheets.

In the on-site construction, special attention is required in the connection of the perimeter walls with the bottom plate, as well as provision for sealing the joints.

Indoor pools

Indoor swimming pools can be configured inside a residence, giving a special look to the space. Enjoying swimming regardless of weather conditions is their main advantage. But care should be taken to remove moisture - which poses many risks to a building - as a heated swimming pool causes 1-2 liters of water to evaporate per hour. In addition, its proximity to the structural elements of the building must be considered.

An indoor swimming pool can be combined with the heating of both the water and its shaping space. There are several types of heating systems (solar panels, combustion heating, pumps, etc.) and are chosen according to the type of construction and the wishes of the user. Pools with variable depth are suitable for children, but also for people with mobility problems or elderly.· To clean the inside of the pool, equip yourself with special brooms, brushes, detergents and a broom.

In detail:

CONCRETE POOLS

There are two types of concrete pools.

With overflow

In this case, an overflow channel runs around the perimeter of the pool and is lined with a plastic or marble grate.. The water covers the entire lip of the pool and gets to overflow simultaneously on all sides of the pool inside the grate.

So we have the magic of the overflow where at night when the pool lights are on we have a reflection of light on the lip which is placed like a mirror, and consequently on the surrounding area of the pool. All this situation makes the pool look bigger and of course better aesthetically than all the other solutions. More

With a skimmer

They are more economical than those with overflow. The reason is that we do not need to build a perimeter or side overflow channel around the perimeter of the pool and there is no need for an additional water space called an overflow tank that is necessary for the operation of the pool with an overflow.

Due to avoiding all these constructions we have 20% up to 30% miscellaneous in our final pool cost list. It is an ideal construction for relatively small spaces. More

SWIMMING POOL PRE

The basic elements of a prefabricated pool are:

Metal panels from galvanized sheet metal that give the shape and dimensions of the pool. The metal panels are fixed to the concrete base with µp.gkigtirtr5.jpgmetal plugs. They are connected to each other with galvanized screws with parallel insertion of the triangular support.

 Support triangles: Triangular frame hot-dip galvanized at 600oC. The triangular support is fixed to the base with two metal expandable plugs with the intervention of a mechanism for adjusting the verticality of the panels. More

PVC LINER

The liner is always applied to pools with a metal frame and generally to prefabricated ones with a thickness of 1.5 mm. The liner is available in many colors to cover a wide range of aesthetic options.

An integral part of the entire construction is the engine room – the heart of the project. Depending on the construction possibilities and the available space, we can create the appropriate engine room.
