Liner Fixing Systems

Welded Bead Types

ABGAL has 3 types of Welded Bead to choose from. You can have it facing towards the water or away from the water.

ExtBead (A)

ExtBeadOB (B)

ExtBeadW1 (C)

Waterline

ABGAL has a variety of fixing systems including the incredible Waterline flexible PVC extrusion that seals the whole liner completely underwater. This allows you to use a ceramic tile band (coping) around the top of the pool, on bench seats and step areas then a low maintenance vinyl finish covers the rest of the pool.

Retainer & Capping

Other fixing systems include the ABGAL Retainer which is a flexible hook type acceptor that fastens to the inside wall of the pool.

The Retainer can be used with welded bead or with Capping for overlap type liners. The wall height of the liner can then be adjusted during installation. This system is ideal for above water fixing where the pool may have overhanging bullnose brickwork or paving stones coping. Retainers and capping are made from flexible PVC which can easily fit tight radius corners.

T-Lock

The T-Lock extrusion is a smaller profile and designed for fixing vinyl liners above the water. Unlike the Waterline extrusion, T-Lock is designed to lock a beaded liner in place while providing a clean, neat looking edge to where the liner is fastened.

3D Measuring of Complex Pools

Measuring Device
ABGAL pioneered the worlds first 3D pool liner measuring system for complex shaped Concrete and Fibreglass pools. This system allows the pool to be measured using a laser optical device which calculates the exact distance and records the data.

A complex shaped pool with over 400 points can be measured in about 2 hours. You can store as many as 2000 points in the measuring device and then download them to a computer file. The data file can be transferred via email direct to laser@abgal.com.au. This system allows complex pools to be measured in any location and the data is more accurate than traditional methods, it is ideal for international or remote customers. The measuring equipment used is available in most countries.

ABGAL has a convenient online software ordering program available for professional installers. Measurements, taken either by a hand held laser optical device or traditional tape measure, can be entered directly into the software. The program will firstly, view the pool shape and allow point location changes. Secondly, select liner colours, delivery details, etc and submit the order via email. Using a mobile phone, the liner can be ordered directly from site minimizing production lead times.
