"Combining the Strength of Steel with the Elegance of Wood". Introducing a revolutionary new concept in design for an above ground swimming pool.

The design of the Notika pool includes an ingenious assembly system that combines wood and steel. Unlike similar products currently on the market, the wood of the pool does not support the structure nor does it sustain mechanical stress or water pressure. The solid steel substructure does all the work.

This tried and true material used for over 40 years in the industry is very stable even when exposed to significant climatic variations. Therefore, much like a bridge or a skyscraper, it is the metallic substructure that ensures the solidity and the resistance of the entire structure.

Consequently, the wood used in this pool has a purely aesthetic function and is never subjected to structural tension. This unique design ensures the solidity and the beauty of the pool for many years to come.

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.

	All Vogue pools are supplied with a standard 27 gauge all pattern wall and floor liner with tileband. Typical life expectancy of a liner is 5-7 years depending on UV, pool temperature and chemical usage.

With the perfect combination of material and manufacturing processes, Vogue is able to produce a top quality liner. For optimum results Vogue uses the highest quality vinyl available and an automated heat sealing process with a 1/2” seam for perfect, waterproof and ultra-durable liner welded seam everytime.
