By using this technique, the PVC membrane joints are virtually invisible on the pool floor, particularly at night when the water is illuminated. During the day, when the water is moving, the traditional overlap welding is not apparent. Mastering butt-welding on the pool floor is for those installers who want to achieve absolute flatness with nearly invisible joints that cannot be seen during the day or night.
Benefits of offering weld-in-place membranes
Weld-in-place PVC membrane liners gives professionals a solution that allows them to build and/or renovate the most pools possible, while still being able to control their construction schedule and overcome their workforce issues. Rather than dealing with long lead times for pool kits, fibreglass pools, or custom-made pool liners, membrane materials are readily available for these types of installations.
Weld-in-place reinforced PVC membranes provide the perfect fit for custom pools because they are installed on-site, even when used on the most challenging shapes. They offer builders a huge advantage because they provide an exact custom fit on-site. Further, as these membranes comprise thicker mesh reinforced PVC, builders can offer the benefit of longevity to their customers, as it will last longer than a traditional vinyl liner.
Savvy pool professionals should take the time to learn how to install weld-in-place membranes and incorporate them into their offerings. Many companies who have added PVC membranes to their repertoire are not only able to provide year-round work for their crews and gain greater control of their construction schedules but are also reaping the profits and benefits associated with this product.
