AI Technical Summary
Concrete pool edges are difficult to process, aesthetically unconvincing, and pose safety risks due to sharp edges, with installation being complex and requiring multiple workers.
Marble pool edges with rounded profiles, bush-hammered surfaces, and modular pre-cut slabs for easy installation, ensuring ergonomic design, slip resistance, and aesthetic appeal.
Marble edges provide a safer, faster, and more aesthetically pleasing pool edge with reduced installation complexity and improved safety, while maintaining structural integrity and adaptability to various pool shapes.
Description
Description of the utility model entitled “Marble cladding for swimming pool edges” This invention offers significant innovations for pool decking. Pool decks are typically made of concrete; in this case, it's difficult to speak of ease of workmanship: once the shapes are designed and created (clearly dependent on the carpentry and formwork), the work on the concrete is minimal. Installation is nevertheless easy; the carpentry work integrated with the pool construction, in fact, speeds up the construction of the decks, which are then coated or treated with paints and / or other products once prepared. Furthermore, the concrete is not aesthetically convincing and does not have a good tactile sensation. Top Marmo Service srl of Latina specializes in cutting and preparing marble for flooring and cladding. It has developed a marble poolside edging system with characteristics that make it preferable to concrete. In attachment 1 you can see how the edge of the cover that faces the tub is completely round and free of sharp edges or corners (even in the curves and special pieces). During the product design phase, a careful study of the ergonomics of the cover was conducted, hence the choice of round profiles (cylindrical and toroidal) on the entire visible surface. The tactile sensation is therefore excellent in every situation with a bumps with significant reduction in risks associated with cuts or impacts with sharp surfaces. external side The processing of the external edge allows for better adaptation to the to the configuration of the tub and of the vase of the environment that surrounds it, that with surrounds, perfect integration with the drain grilles, while maintaining the circular section as an element of continuity. Surface treatment using relief bush-hammering to prevent slipping. The horizontal surface of the “Edge” element is worked with a beating machine capable of making the surface irregular and rough. This process is not carried out in a recessed manner but in relief, thus making the flow of water easier. tends to stagnate, at the same time it allows swimmers to move more safely by reducing the risk of slipping and with immediate awareness of the adhesion between their feet and the edge. Was the product was studied in the direction of availability in pre-cut sheets which allow for easy planning and installation precise and simple work. Starting from standard swimming pool dimensions it is possible to prepare in laboratory the pieces that make up the assembly kit in such a way that both the assembly itself and the between the various pieces; this attention to modularity of production allows for the availability of materials and speed in order fulfillment. Special pieces for corners and curved profiles are available to suit all shapes and geometries. To complete the kit and make its preparation in the laboratory and during assembly precise and fast, the pieces have been studied “special” ones that complete the assembly kit allowing for a more precise installation. The slabs are easy to handle for processing, storage, transport, and installation; their size also creates a pleasing, neat edge pattern during assembly. By defining the composition of the basic kits, it is possible to define the number of pieces, and therefore plan the processing, storage, transport, installation in such a way that the presence of two operators is not necessary, from packaging to installation the material is accompanied by appropriate instructions and methods of assembly. From an aesthetic point of view, compared to the concrete solution, our product presents the following advantages: following architectural differences:^ A striking aesthetic: marble appears more elegant, streamlined, and less prone to wear and tear (even in particularly aggressive environments, such as spas, sulfur waters, etc.). A variety of shades and materials are available, both in color and in the quality of the finishes (from Carrara white to marble chips).
Claims
CLAIMS 1) Marble edge for poolside cladding characterised by a surface worked with relief bush-hammering 2) Marble edge for pool edge cladding as per claim 1, characterised by the processing of the internal edge with toroidal smoothing 3) Marble edge for pool edge cladding as per claim 2, characterised by the processing of the external edge with beak sanding 4) Marble edging for poolside cladding as per claim 3, featuring the availability of special pieces for corners and curved profiles to adapt to all shapes and geometries. To complete the kit and ensure precise and rapid preparation in the laboratory and during assembly, "special" pieces have been designed to complement the assembly kit, allowing for more precise installation.
