Successful Stainless Swimming Pool Design

Metals have been used in natatorium applications for over 40 years, but there are distinct differences in long-term performance. Knowledgeable stainless steel selection and maintenance produces outstanding long-term service and experience has demonstrated that no metal can match its performance in pool-level natatorium applications. Even if superficial corrosion staining occurs, it does not adversely affect the structural integrity of stainless steel applications immediately around the deck or within the swimming pool and the staining is easily removed.
Stainless steel can provide an outstanding combination of aesthetic appeal, corrosion resistance, strength, durability, and cleanability, and they are commonly used for a wide range of indoor and outdoor pool applications, including ladders, handrails,diving platforms, slide assemblies, gutters, and ventilation systems. These components are frequently still structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing after more than 25 years of service.
