Composite Armour™

Overview

Benefits

 

So why is it important to have improved flexural and tensile strengths? Well, with changing weather conditions we are exposed to greater extremes of weather from floods one year to droughts the next. As a result, when we have floods the ground swells and when we have droughts the ground contracts. As a result, anything installed in the ground is exposed to extremes of ground movement.

Leisure Pools have recognised this and with the use of the Composite Armour™ Core of Strength we are providing additional flexural and tensile strength properties through the use of high performance fibres such as DuPont™ Kevlar®, Carbon Fibre and Bassalt Fibre to better withstand these ground movement changes.

Remember, it is all about safeguarding your investment both in the swimming pool shell itself and all of the investment you make in finishing the area around the swimming pool with paving, decking and landscaping.

High Performance Fibres

 

High performance fibres have been used in many cutting edge applications. DuPont™ Kevlar® is used in bullet proof vests, body armour, military vehicles, wind turbines and aerospace applications.

Carbon Fibre and Bassalt Fibre are used in aerospace and high performance automotive applications.

When combined through Leisure Pools Patented new technology, Composite Armour™ brings a new level of performance to the production of composite swimming pools.

Schematics

 

 

 

Leisure Pools has strategically integrated the Composite Armour™ Core of Strength in critical locations on the swimming pool to provide improved flexural and tensile strength to provide a stronger swimming pool.

Testing shows that a Leisure Pools Composite Armour™ Full Vinyl Ester Resin Swimming Pool is 111% stronger than a standard fibreglass swimming pool.
