As a contractor, quality comes naturally

Use of HLP panels (Tespa) 

The use of Trespa (HLP sheets) is a good maintenance-free choice. However, which cannot be glued inside a swimming pool. No bonding gives the guarantee within a swimming pool that it is resistant to the fumes released by the swimming water. Therefore, you must always secure your tespa plates with a screw in the right quality (no stainless steel screws!). PoolFIX supplies Trespa screws in any RAL color. 

Steel constructions 

The choice of treatment for your steel construction is relatively easy because of the large layer thicknesses that can be applied. These coating systems are not possible on fasteners such as bolts nuts and screws because of the low fit they offer. If more than 20 microns is applied to a bolt, the nut will already no longer be gangable. Coated steel structures have a coating thickness of 180-450 microns.

Hot-dip galvanized (HDG) fasteners. 

The use of hot-dip galvanized fasteners with an indoor pool is not recommended. Due to the higher humidity, there is no opportunity for the hot-dip zinc to form a solid patina layer, therefore corrosion resistance is limited. The advantage of thermal zinc bolts is the clearly recognizable and visible corrosion.

Stainless steel fasteners were chosen in the past because they had a longer life than standard galvanized bolts. Stainless steel fasteners have been banned from use in swimming pool environments since 2015. Commercial standard fasteners are mostly used. This is a solution, however, very labor-intensive as they quickly show corrosion and must be replaced regularly. We have already seen several times that the technical department has a full-time job on the continuous replacement of bolts and nuts. You cannot show rust on your playground equipment to your customers. Pool FIX® fasteners extend this life extremely.
