Edge-to-edge
AJACCIAN EXCELLENCE
Edge-to-edge welding: an exclusive technique in Corsica
Karlson stands out for its commitment to excellence and precision in the installation of reinforced pool membranes. Unlike the conventional overlapping method, Karlson is the only one in the region to use edge-to-edge welding, an innovative technique that guarantees an aesthetic and durable result.
Overlapping: a classic but imperfect method
The overlapping method consists of placing two layers of PVC on top of each other and welding them together. Although widely used, this method has major drawbacks:
-
Visible overlap: The overlap of the layers creates extra thickness, which becomes even more pronounced under the pressure of the water.
-
Accumulation of impurities: Over time, the welds can become points where dirt accumulates, especially if the pool is not perfectly maintained, causing visible lines to appear.
Edge-to-edge welding: impeccable and invisible results
The edge-to-edge technique, used by Karlson, eliminates these issues:
-
Seamless finish: The welds are perfectly smooth, with no overlapping, providing a flawless visual integration. On a flat surface, the joints are almost invisible to the naked eye.
-
Long-lasting cleanliness: Thanks to the precision of the welds, dirt does not accumulate, ensuring a clean and harmonious finish over the years.

A more demanding process for exceptional results
The edge-to-edge technique requires specialized expertise and meticulous attention at every stage of installation. Unlike the traditional overlapping method, which places PVC layers on top of each other, edge-to-edge welding requires the use of additional materials. These materials include PVC junction strips and felt, which compensate for surface irregularities beneath the membrane and ensure a perfectly flat and smooth surface. This approach eliminates any visible thickness, offering a seamless and continuous finish without the downsides of dirt accumulation.
The application of this method also relies on precision craftsmanship. At Karlson, every weld is executed with extreme care and millimeter-level precision. This expertise allows for invisible welds, resulting in a visually flawless pool. Although this technique involves higher initial costs due to the additional materials and complexity of the installation, the investment is reflected in a unique and incomparable elegance that stands the test of time. The result is a pool with an impeccable appearance, whose unique elegance is preserved and enhanced over the years. The edge-to-edge welding method ensures a refined aesthetic that will endure for the next 20 years, giving your pool a timeless and sophisticated look.
