Natatec PVC Membrane Systems- Can Work with even the most difficult pool designs

Natare Corporation is one of the most respected suppliers of equipment, systems and services for commercial and public swimming pools, water features and aquatic recreation in the United States and around the world.

We offer a comprehensive selection of equipment and systems, in combination with consulting, engineering and technical services. Whether it’s design, construction, renovation or operation, Natare is part of state-of-the-art aquatic facilities around the globe.

HistoryThe heritage of Natare dates to the late 1950s and 1960s. Back to the time when amateur swimming and powerful university swimming programs in Indiana produced some of the most outstanding competitive swimmers and teams in the nation. At the same time, the first leisure pools and water parks were beginning to appear, including the very first wave pool, forever changing the concept of swimming, aquatic recreation and water features.

Later, in the late 1970s and 1980s, the first truly international natatorium facilities appeared, and once again our concepts, equipment and systems set the standard. Since 1969, we have been the leader in design, manufacturing and supply of the systems that allow the successful construction and operation of facilities from international natatoriums and Olympic facilities to pools for schools, hospitals, hotels, resorts and communities.

Natare CorporationToday, Natare products and systemscan be found around the world and are used to construct international competition venues, educational and institutional pools, health, fitness and medical rehabilitation facilities, and exciting leisure and recreational pools. We provide essential components and construction systems for all sizes, shapes and pool configurations.

With over 30 years of experience with swimming pools and aquatic facilities, Natare’s knowledge of design requirements, construction techniques and equipment capabilities have allowed us to provide comprehensive assistance on a project-by-project basis for new pool construction, renovation and facility operation.

Our staff combine years of aquatics experience in competition, coaching and administration with hands-on construction wisdom and solid engineering know-how to produce high quality, cost-efficient products, equipment and systems that are durable and functional. We respond to our customers’ needs and requirements individually, tailoring equipment and systems to the demands of virtually any project, program or budget.

Centrally located in Indianapolis, Indiana, our corporate offices include production, engineering and administration staff with additional warehousing, manufacturing

operations and testing facilities in close proximity. Direct field representation is provided throughout the United States and in many countries around the world, including Canada, Asia, Central and South America and Europe.

Our Pool SystemsUniwall Swimming Pool Systems

Natare pioneered the concept of complete, pre-engineered swimming pool construction systems. Our Uniwall pools feature stain less steel construction, colorful PVC pool interiors, perimeter re cir cu lat ing systems and a perimeter pool surround to meet any activity or program need.

Natare Uniwall swimming pool systems are fully engineered construction systems that sim pli fy new construction or ren o va tion. These complete con struc tion systems are vir tu al ly leakproof, low main-tenance and cost ef fec tive. Uniwall pool systems offer design cre ativ i ty and flexibility, and easily adapt to any size or shape of pool.

In many cases, Uniwall pool systems can be used where traditional construction methods would be too expensive, difficult or time-con sum ing. Uniwall pools eliminate

design unknowns, costly field engineering, re vi sions and guesswork.

Because stain less steel resists the effects of hard use, weathering and set tle ment, the cracking, bulging and deterioration of short-lived pool systems is elim i nat ed. There is no peeling paint, joint failures, cracking or deteriorating con crete.

Uniwall SPS Pool SystemsUniwall standardized structural panel pool systems feature a wide range of shapes, sizes and configurations to accommodate fast and easy, unitized bolted pool construction systems. The Uniwall SPS pool is pre-engineered to the exact requirements of each project and features a ceramic tile bullnose and overflow gutter or stainless steel perimeter overflow gutter. Each pool is available in polished stainless steel wall panels or a colorful NataClad PVC laminated stainless steel.

With col or ful and durable Natatec PVC pool linings, a Uniwall pool’s beauty and func tion al ity lasts for years with little or no main te nance.Whether for a multipurpose aquatic facility, a high-level competition pool, a training facility or lap pool, an el e vat ed specialty pool or an exotic resort pool, there is a Uniwall pool for every project.

Stainless steel beats the com pe ti tion.

It’s no contest! Special grades of low

carbon stainless steel are proven to be the ideal

material for Uniwall pools—so tough and

durable that it can be installed in virtually any climate.

Competition Pools and Training FacilitiesUniwall pools create the ideal environment for competition swimming, training or lap swimming with pool configurations tailored to the exacting requirements of FINA, US Swimming, NCAA and international requirements. The smooth finished perimeter gutter is continuous around the pool perimeter to provide “fast” water and perfect conditions for the highest caliber of competition or training. Available in deck-level and raised deck configurations.

Elevated Pool SystemsWhen space constraints or design requirements require that a pool goes above ground, a Uniwall stainless steel pool is the answer.

All Uniwall pools feature modular, fast “all-climate construction” that moves with the building and buttress systems that support the pool deck-ing. They are hydrostatically tested, crack-free, durable and watertight.

Elevated and on-ground pool systems are available for hotel, apartment and health club pools, office buildings, institutional and medical facilities. Easy to install and virtually mainte-nance free, Uniwall pools are tailored for each application and installation.

The ultimate in leak-proof durability, Uniwall pool systems are the proven solution to a multitude of

common design and installation problems.

Specialty Pools When planning a “special” pool that requires extra creativity, flexibility or structural know-how, Uniwall pools offer complete design solutions for today’s innovative facilities and the most unique designs.

Complete pool systems are available for wave pools and water play-grounds, health facilities, whirlpools and therapy pools or the most challenging aquatic environment.
