Stainless Steel Above Ground Pools – 6 Reasons To Consider One

When designing or specifying an above ground swimming pool, movable pool floor, or spa, a number of critical key elements need to be carefully considered. This is especially true for swimming pools or spas that need to be built and located over occupied spaces.

Reason 1: Leak Free

Whether it’s a stylish spa pool on an above ground residential balcony or an infinity pool with moving pool floor capabilities on the roof of a luxury hotel, leaks could cause catastrophic issues in above-ground aquatic applications. On elevated buildings any pool leaks have the potential to cause significant damage.

Stainless steel above ground swimming pools, spa pools and plunge pools from Wrightfield are constructed of welded stainless steel with all floors and walls being fully welded. This means that Wrightfield can ensure a 100% leak-proof pool. By hydrostatically water-testing the above ground stainless steel swimming pools before commissioning Wrightfield can confirm total water tightness. Wrightfield stainless steel pools and spa are covered by a comprehensive corrosion warranty, which provides contractors and clients with confidence and peace of mind

Reason 2: Lighter Weight – Stainless Pools One Third the Weight of Concrete

Stainless steel swimming pools, spas and splash pools, including all the required support structure, weigh approximately a quarter to a third of a comparable concrete vessel. This weight saving has the potential to significantly reduce structural costs and also construction times. Importantly it allows for more expansive designs in restricted locations and existing building renovations.

The substantial weight of a traditional concrete swimming pool is just one consideration when designing an elevated pool or spa. Additional support for a concrete vessel impacts significantly on structural costs in a new building and can limit the maximum size of a pool or spa in a reconstruction project.

Reason 3: Easy Installation

In construction project, especially complicated multi-story structures time is critical. Wrightfield stainless steel above ground pools, splash pools and spas are manufactured and pre-fabricated in our Suffolk based factory. These stainless steel pre fabricated components are then delivered in multiple large sections or dependent on the pool size as a single piece. Talk to the Wrightfield Pool team to find out more about the maximum size single piece pools that can be supplied. With stainless steel swimming pools final installation is typically completed in a matter of weeks as opposed to the months with concrete.

The benefits of the faster installation time

• Significantly reduce installation costs and resources
• With minimal interruption other trades are free to work in close proximity to the pool or spa.
• Stainless steel above ground swimming pools and spas can be installed in almost any environmental condition, making them perfect for regions with limited building seasons due to weather and temperature, where there are concrete constructional concerns related to forming, pouring, and curing.

Reason 4: Durability

Stainless Steel is well known for its durability and performance across a wide array of demanding applications. As well as looking attractive, stainless steel performs for decades in challenging environmental and operational conditions.

Reason 5: Increased Hygiene

In our new Covid19 world now more than ever clean, hygienic materials are a must for any surface a person may come in contact with. Stainless steel is naturally dense, has a nonporous surface making it an ideal material for limiting areas where harmful bacteria and pathogens can potentially survive and thrive. With rigorous frequent cleaning and disinfection protocols now becoming the norm Stainless steel is able to easily withstand.

Reason 6: Incorporate Complex Designs & Finishes

Wrightfield design Stainless steel above ground swimming pools with complex shapes, stunning finishes, and other design details every day.

Wrightfield stainless steel swimming pools and spas can be finished in an almost infinite range of tile choices if you don’t want a stainless steel finish? This allows you to have a pool that complements an existing design aesthetic or become the centerpiece of a feature.

Each stainless pool we build is designed in CAD, meticulously engineered, precision-fabricated in our modern extensive manufacturing facilities. By pre-assembling fabrications prior to shipment, Wrightfield ensures an exact fit of the job onsite, and that your swimming pool accurately reflects the intended design.
