Swimming Pool Liners for Residential and Commercial Pools |
Vinyl Liners
A vinyl liner pool has a custom made sheet of vinyl between the
water and the pool structure. This is in contrast to a gunite or
shotcrete pool which uses plaster as its waterproofing membrane.
Vinyl liners typically lock their top edge, called a bead, into a
track located on the bottom of the coping, which is at deck level.
Vinyl Liner Repair
We specialize in repair and replacement of in-ground pool liners,
throughout the Naples area.
Liner bead coming out of the track?
Liners are meant to fit tightly into the shape of the pool. If
the liner was installed slightly off center, or if the liner is too
large or too small for the pool's shape, you might experience the
bead popping out of the track.
With the use of a heat gun or blow dryer and a lot of elbow
grease by Steve and his associates, the liner can be stretched and locked back into the track.
Liner losing its color?
The original color of your liner will fade with the use of
sanitizing chemicals and the effects of Sun. Harsh chemicals and
high concentrations of such are to be avoided. This will remove the
plasticizers which give liners their resiliency, leading to brittle
vinyl, which leads to new liners. If you are a weekly maintenance
costumer of Alligator Pools of Naples, we balance our chemical
treatment to extend the life expectancy of your liner.
Vinyl liner leaking?
Not an uncommon problem. Liners are typically manufactured in 20 mil
thickness (28-30 mil option). Although resistant to punctures...it
can happen, and will happen. Especially as the liner ages, losing
its resiliency. If you are fortunate enough to see a small hole in
the liner, simply patch it with a vinyl liner patch kit. If
underwater, buy a "wet" patch kit. If the source of the leak isn't
readily apparent, please give us a call, before very serious damage
occurs to your pool.
Vinyl liner replacement
Vinyl liners are not limited in colors and patterns as they used to
be. Changing pool liner will dramatically improve the visual effect
of your pool and resale value of your home. The cost of the liner
will depend on it's shape, size, thickness, and pattern choice. As
an example, a 17' x 35' oval, with a Rockcliffe print, 28 mil
thickness, will cost in the neighborhood of $1200.00.
Labor on a liner installation is usually $1200 - $1500, depending on
size of the pool, and extent of wall and floor work. Our complete
liner replacement charges range from $2,500 - $3,500. Give us a call
for a free estimate!
