Steel Swimming Pool Refurbishment: The Definitive Guide to Professional Renovation
How long does it take to renovate a steel swimming pool?
Thanks to RENOLIT ALKORPLAN reinforced membrane technology, the complete renovation of a steel pool takes on average between 3 and 5 working days. Unlike traditional methods, no invasive demolition work is required: the membrane is laid directly over the existing structure, ensuring complete waterproofing and an immediate high-end finish
Why choose a reinforced steel membrane for swimming pools?
Replacing your old lining with the RENOLIT ALKORPLAN collections (such as TOUCH, VOGUE or CERAMICS EVOLVE) offers unbeatable benefits
- Quick Installation: It can be applied to any type of surface in record time.
- No More Leaks: Guaranteed total waterproofing that prevents the pool from constantly running empty.
- Minimal Maintenance: Easy-to-clean surfaces that require fewer chemicals
Why renovate your swimming pool with steel panels?
Swimming pools with steel frames are renowned for their durability and versatility, but over the years they can develop issues that compromise both the appearance and functionality of the pool. Renovating does not simply mean ‘repairing’, but upgrading to higher standards of luxury and safety.
Fixing water leaks in prefabricated swimming pools
One of the most common problems in older steel structures is water leakage caused by the deterioration of old liners or micro-cracks in the structure. The RENOLIT ALKORPLAN system acts as a definitive barrier, permanently eliminating water wastage and ensuring a certified watertight seal.
Refreshing the aesthetics: from old liners to sensory textures
Many pools installed decades ago use liners that have now faded from UV rays or been worn down by chemicals. Upgrading to a new-generation reinforced membrane such as TOUCH, VOGUE or CERAMICS EVOLVE transforms an outdated pool into a modern oasis, significantly increasing the property’s value.
