Watershape University C3291: Reinforced Vinyl Workshop

Did you know the vast majority of swimming pools across Europe are surfaced with a reinforced vinyl membrane? PVC Membranes have been a popular option in commercial pools for decades (including virtually every Olympic and international competition pool in the world), and now the technology is available for residential pools. These membranes are a viable and luxurious alternative to plaster, fiberglass and traditional vinyl liners.

Come learn hands-on installation techniques from two (2) of the world's leading vinyl liner and reinforced PVC membrane manufacturers. Unlike traditional vinyl liners, reinforced vinyl membranes are heat welded on site for a completely customized, watertight finish that is built to last.
