Technology

The Notika pool is made from a distinctive type of wood that has been torrefied, that is to say it has been heated to a temperature that exceeds 200 degrees C, without requiring the use of chemicals. Unlike wood that has been chemically treated by autoclave, torrefied wood becomes remarkably resistant to warping and deterioration related to wear and to the elements. Therefore, the Notika is a pool that is clearly superior to the models currently available on the market. The torrefaction of wood makes for a beauiful and solid pool that will stand the test of time.

Torrefied jack pine is the ideal material for pools because of its low moisture content, its great dimensional stability and its shrinking and swelling variation inferior to other types of wood. All of these characteristics make this wood extremely resistant to moisture and to climatic changes, which will avoid potential warping of the pool. In addition, because no chemical additives are used, the torrefaction process limits the absorption of moisture as well as the formation of fungus on the wood in a totally ecological and natural way. Finally, the torrefaction process gives the wood a deeper and totally homogeneous colour throughout the full cross-section, giving the Notika an added touch of charm.

FLOATING PANELS

Floating panels let the wood move naturally (shrinking and swelling) allowing it to adapt to the exterior conditions with no damage to the pool.

STURDY AND ADJUSTABLE SECURING SYSTEM

The top seat is held in place with an easy-assembly steel securing system embellished by stainless steel decorative hardware. The system increases pool resistance by securing the top seat to the joiner plate so that the steel bears the stress, not the wood.

UNMATCHED DURABILITY

In order to reduce the formation of cracks or fissures that could weaken the wood and allow moisture penetration, most of the screws are inserted into metal rather than the wood.

TOP SEAT

The two parts that make up the sturdy 24cm top seat of the Notika help reinforce the solidity and enhance the stylish design of the pool. They are held in place with a steel securing system that is embellished by stainless steel decorative hardware, adding in this way a distinguished metallic touch.

EASY INSTALLATION

Notika's steel structure is installed as easily as any other steel pool. The sections of the wood facing (panels and boards) are simply inserted by sliding them into the bottom wall channels or into the metal uprights.

MOISTURE PROTECTION

The wall panels and the boards covering the uprights are not in contact with the ground. In order to limit moisture-related problems, the panels are inserted into a plastic extrusion that is then inserted into the bottom wall channel, and alongside the uprights and rest on the joiner plate.

HIGH QUALITY LADDER

Built from the same beautiful wood as the Notika, the ladder brings a touch of sophistication with its wide and inviting steps. Furthermore, the exterior part of the ladder is detachable and can be removed for added safety between swims.

The oval pool is constructed with concealed lateral supports that are placed in the ground on the inside of the uprights. This installation is called the Yard Extender System (Y.E.S.), and was especially designed to obtain greater available yard space.
