ABOVE: This enclosure from Swimex completed a stylish development at a Surrey school
ABOVE: Slidaway’s enclosures are constructed from high quality aluminium, with walls of clear acrylic and toughened glass
(often in one day). It can be telescoped to one end or divided in the middle and rolled to both ends. Swimex has supplied hundreds of domestic installations and dozens for local authority and private schools and holiday parks, often with changing rooms and toilets with privacy panels. Swimex supplies space heaters for all year round swimming and motors.
Swimex subsidiary Swimtech supplies and lays rubberised flooring, long lasting, very comfortable to walk on and improves the pool surround. Quality has been a theme in the development of the the Slidaway enclosure. Full height and low enclosures are constructed from high quality aluminium, with walls of clear acrylic and toughened glass. Safety is an important theme within the Slidaway range and amongst the many safety features incorporated in the system are ground-flush plastic coverings which makes opening and closing the enclosure a simple operation.
Arcus Pool Enclosures owner Martin Paine was able to use SPATEX in Brighton earlier this year as the opportunity to offer a low budget ‘all-in-one’ swimming pool to the trade.
“It’s a new approach and a deal which offers all aspects of a swimming pool – in one deal. I feel sure there’s an opportunity for this approach.” The package is likely to include a one-piece
pool with a swim jet, heat pump and enclosure. “It’s very much a complete package which any new or prospective pool owner would need.” Key to the thinking behind his approach is that people do need a pool enclosure to offer more than just the three month peak season swimming. Low cost and high quality enclosures have ended up being a winning formula for Martin and his Arcus Pool Enclosures range. “It’s a good market. One I’ve been promoting heavily and successfully and one that is turning out to be a strong long term opportunity,” says Martin who has owned and operated Arcus Pool Enclosures since the first enclosure was installed in the UK, in Essex in 2006.
Due to the success in promoting them since, Arcus were approached by the Albion Group, the Czech manufacturer, to be a direct importer, wholesaler and distributor.
“With over 160 sold and many installed by our team of expert fitters, we know this product literally inside out!” adds Martin.
Known as MultiDome, BabyDome and Klasik, along with the Klasik No Line (trackless) and Casablanca, the “roof in a box” concept of a complete kit in standard sizes has revolutionised the enclosure market in the UK. Instead of custom-made structures usually costing £20-
30,000 the pre-manufactured kits are ready for delivery and installation.
One statistic being quoted around the trade suggests that within the next few years 70% of all outdoor pools in the UK would invest in an enclosure of some sort. Clearly it’s a market with legs! spn
