Technical Information
Every Heat Form panel is made to measure in our specialist fabrication unit in South-Devon.
Materials & Construction
An 80mm core of recycled insulation is sandwiched between a toughened fibreglass exterior.
Each of the panels bolt together to form a basic pool shell. This flexible system is easy and quick to install and can be adjusted within half metre increments at varying depths.
A Heat Form panel pool can be installed indoors or outdoors, above or in-ground.
The Panels
Heat Form has transformed the swimming pool construction process. The added value of insulation keeps those expensive heating bills to a minimum, whilst also helping
to reduce the amount of energy required to keep your pool at a comfortable temperature.
Not only does it reduce the amount of energy being wasted through heat loss, but it also helps the environment by using empty plastic (PET) bottles to form the insulated section of the pool wall. Made from 100% post-consumer (recycled) PET material, the foam core meets not only the stringent technical requirements for composites, but also helps to preserve and enhance the human environment.
The Build
-
Location
Take time to establish where you will site your pool. Consider factors like services, sun exposure and proximity to accommodation.
-
Excavation
The pool is dug to the appropriate depth and a concrete base or foundation is laid ready for the panels
-
Installation
HeatForm panels are fitted, levelled and braced
-
Lining
After the plumbing, backfill and patio are complete, the pool liner and auxiliary equipment is installed
-
Go Swimming
Once you have filled the pool, and the water is treated, you are all set to go swimming!
Internal Finishes
All HeatForm pools are designed to be installed with a swimming pool liner. The pool liner not only holds in the water it provides the pool finish, which is your chance to stamp something of your own personality onto the project.
As well as classic plain coloured liners with or without patterned tile band designs, recent advances in liner technology have brought exciting textured liner finishes like Alkor Plan Touch and Ceramics to the market.
The standard HF SPORT pools come with a pre-tailored ‘bag’ liner, however you can opt to have an on-site liner fitted by your installers or the UK’s number 1 liner supplier, Aquaflex. These are a more durable and premium product.
