Whether you’re looking to transform your old pool, with its rough, cracked surface and leaky pipes, or you want to ensure your new pool is built to last from the start, reinforced textured commercial grade PVC pool membranes offer a cost-effective, long-lasting solution. An experienced design and build partner will help transform your old and difficult to maintain pool into a “like new” facility. An attractive new upgraded look will not only save on maintenance costs but will attract more satisfied patrons.
Transform Your Old Pool
The first step in your old, outdated pool’s transformation is finding the right consultant to advise you on this type of PVC membrane material selection and construction options. The best partner will have a broad range of experience working on renovations for older swimming pools, and will be able to offer a number of problem-solving cost effective solutions to help bring your outdated pool into a state-of-the-art facility. The right consultant will have experience reusing existing infrastructure wherever possible, ensuring you don’t have to start from scratch, and ultimately saving time, money and resources, which you can then dedicate to other possible improvements, such as adding recreational amenities like waterslides, poolside climbing walls, modular inflatables or other ways to draw in more swimmers.
For example, deteriorating surfaces in older pools can lead to cracks and leaks, in addition to settling and even structural damage. But you don’t necessarily have to completely demolish your pool and start from scratch. For pools constructed with concrete, fiberglass, steel or aluminum that have damaged, cracked or leaking shells, a commercial PVC pool membrane can be an affordable and extremely cost-effective solution.
PVC membranes are both highly durable and extremely reliable. All modern aquatic facilities employ PVC piping, which can withstand the harsh conditions of pool water. Reinforced PVC pool membranes apply that durability of PVC to your pool’s interior, protecting the concrete or other surface material from the damaging effects of chlorinated water and freeze-thaw damage by preventing water intrusion. This not only eliminates any leaks in your existing pool shell, it also minimizes any damage caused by the freeze-thaw cycle that can occur where water and concrete meet.
PVC pool membranes don’t just mask the damage to your pool’s surface—they also offer a colorful and aesthetically pleasing appearance, and eliminate the semi-annual need to repaint your pool’s surface. In addition to their eye-pleasing appeal, PVC membranes are also more comfortable under foot, providing a secure surface for your patrons. 
Beyond your pool’s surface, you should also consider the condition of your pool’s perimeter supply piping. If there are leaks in this area, consider making the switch to a new stainless-steel or on indoor pools PVC gutter, another cost-effective solution.
Build Your New Facility Right From the Start
If you are considering building a new pool, look for a partner with extensive experience with stainless steel/PVC-lined pools.
A partner with design-build experience can help lower the overall cost of your project, as well as reduce the amount of time needed to finish the project. That means your pool can be open and ready for business sooner.
Understanding the problems that can arise as concrete or aluminum pools age and deteriorate, consider getting it right the first time by installing a new stainless steel/PVC pool.
Be sure to talk to your design-build partner about the expected lifespan of your project. The lengthy warranties of PVC pool membranes will ensure your pool’s surface will stand the test of time, allowing you to dedicate your ongoing maintenance savings toward other amenities that will keep people coming back for more.
