CASE STUDY: SWIMMING POOL

To produce a swimming pool that was easy to transport, H20 Construct chose to work with Paneltim Multipower panels because they are lightweight, UV stabilized, easy to clean, and resistant to most chemicals typically used in swimming pools.

Good insulation values
Paneltim plastic panels have better insulation values than most solid construction materials (Paneltim Multipower 2": R = [2.875 sq ft K/W] (DIN 52612-1)). This is a big advantage in comparison with more traditional materials in building pools, as no extra insulation is needed with Paneltim panels.

Easy processing
Using butt welding techniques, almost every desired size can be produced quickly and easily with Paneltim panels. To achieve 3D shapes hot air and extrusion welding makes it easy to create seats, benches, stairs, and housing for automatic safety covers. Many of these pools can be installed in just one week.

Lightweight
As this pool had to go through a small passageway, the light weight of Paneltim panels was very important for this project. The construction was strong and light enough to enter vertically using smaller equipment.

Alternative to other materials
H2O uses Paneltim instead of other materials such as concrete and liner, thin solid sheets, or fiberglass.

Important installation topics
• Always place the swimming pool on a reinforced concrete floor, calculated to hold the water pressure below. 
• While backfilling with stabilizing sand, fill the pool with water proportionally to balance the wall pressure.
