If there are any protruding fixings or sharp
splinters inside the pool at this point, use
a piece of underlay tape to cover up. Do
not use any other type of tape than the
underlay tape supplied.
Before laying the felt floor you may want
to lay some self-levelling screed to the
thickness of the stainless-steel strap.
This will ensure you cannot see the strap
once the liner is installed. It would also
pay to use a product such as Rotabond to
stick the strap to the floor prior to using a
screed to ensure the strap stays flat. The
other option is that you will see the strap
but again stick it flat to a clean floor using
the Rotabond.
Ensure the pool floor is completely clean
from any debris or any other objects.
Anything left in the pool can be unsightly
for years to come and could even
damage the liner. Lay the felt underlay out
completely covering the pool floor and an
overlap up the wall of about 10-20mm.
Avoid joining edges together which have
been cut on site. Always try and tape two
machined edges together. Only use the
tape provided, never use any other type
of tape. Use a pair of sharp scissors to
cut the felt, never use a knife. Make sure
the felt does not overlap as this will show
through the liner.
