  The on-site work was completed within seven working days by one of Aquaflex's six specially trained Alkorplan installation teams. Aquaflex carries out a very high proportion of the Alkorplan installations in the United Kingdom and will only consider using the tried and tested Alkorplan material. In our opinion Alkorplan material is the best pool lining system on the market with the highest reputation throughout Europe and beyond. An Alkorplan swimming pool can increase the value of a property. By being so adaptable to the most complicated of shapes, the prospective pool owner is therefore free to select the type of swimming pool which is most suited to the contours and layout of his or her garden and the architectural style of the house. Alkorplan is the perfect way to renovate old leaking tiled or painted concrete pools. It is very easy to clean and maintain.
The Method Before the Aquaflex team is called in, the shell of the pool would be prepared or built by the main pool contractors using standard liner fittings: skimmers, inlets, lights, sumps and linerlock. The Aquaflex team start by gluing felt underlay to the base and sides of the pool. Generally they would then weld a bead to the top of the sidewalls.There is an option for a different type of fixing whereby PVC coated metal is fixed to the pool and also underneath the coping stones. In this instance the liner is then welded directly onto the metal profile. This system is particularly useful when renovating old pools especially when it is important not to disturb the coping stones. The sidewall is then clipped into the linerlock (or welded to the metal profile) and cut to the correct depth. The base of the pool can now be lined and the sidewalls weld to the base. The material is overlapped 50mm and welded with a hot air gun. All welds are scribe-tested and sealed with liquid PVC mastic.
