RenovAction – The materials
The exclusive technology RenovAction has been developed for the refurbishment of existing pools and, the same way as Myrtha, uses superior materials: stainless steel for the structure, PVC for waterproofing, ceramics and mosaic tiles.
Stainless Steel
The specification of the stainless steel used in a RenovAction pool guarantees extremely long life to the structure regardless of the presence of highly aggressive soils or high water-tables. RenovAction uses exclusive components bolted one to another, eliminating the welding of the panels, which is subject to more corrosion. Stainless Steel ensures maximum mechanical strength of the panels, buttresses and all the other elements that form the structure of the swimming pool.
PVC
PVC has been used for many years as a swimming pool waterproofing material: smooth but not slippery, resistant to UV degradation and chemical agents, sanitized and aesthetically pleasing.
Perfect waterproofing is ensured by the unique process of bonding PVC to the Myrtha® steel panels. A hard PVC membrane is hot laminated to the steel in the manufacturing process, whereas a reinforced membrane is used on the floor of the pool in order to follow the contours of the concrete sub-surface.

Finishing solutions
For high level aesthetic finishes, RenovAction technology uses ceramic and a series of special vitreous mosaics that march with the range of colour of the PVC.
After the pool has been completely sealed and the overflow gutter installed, the ceramic tiles are applied onto the Myrtha surface. Gluing tile on a Myrtha stainless steel surface is much easier and safer that on concrete. As there is no possibility of water seepage from behind the tile, the traditional problem of poor long term adhesion is therefore eliminated.
