Installing New Pool Liners Cincinnati

By Lucille Lamb


In many parts of the world traditional pools, ones with a concrete shell and plaster are just not possible. Plaster and cold weather are not a great mix, and with that alternate solutions are needed. Now many people opt to paint the concrete shell every few years, but this is not optimum either. Look to a vinyl pool liners Cincinnati as a solution to plain concrete.

With use of a liner, patterns that normally would be done with water line tile, or special plasters are printed onto the vinyl instead. This gives a nice look without the hassle of failures, cracks and other issues. One major aspect is getting a proper fit so there are no wrinkles or other potential problems.

Some manufacturers used have well over 20 patterns of water line tile, pebble textures, or even underwater scenes. There are also several thicknesses available. Many use a thicker bottom to protect against punctures. Many manufacturers also warranty the seams as a bare minimum against failures. Seams are necessary to allow proper fit for the curves and contours.

When contemplating installation, look for an area contractor to in the least perform a measurement of the shell prior to making an order. This will in the least ensure a proper fit. Whether you choose to install on your own, or have a paid professional complete the job, it erases many headaches. The same professional can identify the type of liner needed based on the bead that holds the top of the liner in place.

Different types of liners are out there, but mainly four styles are used. These include overlaps that are common on above ground types, the j hook, the bead track and finally the flat bottom rectangular. A few are simpler to use and set up versus others. Someone without experience, might encounter problems with the bead tracks. It is important to have the proper retention to avoid tears or binding. The others are a bit more simplistic for setting up.

As you can imagine holes for drains, the skimmer and any returns have to be cut in. If you have plates to hold the vinyl in place that can be helpful. If you are apprehensive in cutting the material, you may want to seek a professional install so that you have a warranty on the work. Also make sure your hardware is in good shape so that you get a tight seal and no leaks.

Harsh chemicals should be limited in use, or never used. Direct contact with muriatic acid can be an issue. Water balance is important in all pools. The more that you can keep the pool filled with water, the better your results over time, and performance of the liner.

Check out pool liners Cincinnati as a potential solution from having to paint your concrete shell, or update your existing pool. This can be a great addition to make your pool and backyard look nice. If you need help, there are professionals to ensure proper fit, or to complete the install. There are a variety of solutions no matter what your needs are.
