Transforming pool cages from white to bronze during the restoration process is one of our most frequently requested services.
Our default restoration process already includes fastener replacement, repainting, and re-screening, so it’s easy to change the color while also strengthening the structure again.
This white pool cage is one of our recent projects. With the big-scale pictures, you can’t really see how the structure is losing integrity. When you close up on the details like fasteners, cables, and members, there’s peeling of paint, dirt, rust, and other factors that slowly weaken the pool cage.
Some white pool cages we’ve worked on before are more beat up than this, but it’s all the same — they’re in need of restoration. Some pool cages require it only after a few years, especially when it was initially made with builder’s grade materials. Our client beat the rust and dirt before they got way out of hand.
After removing the old screens, we replace the fasteners first. The photos on the left are the old ones and the photos on the right show the black Nylotec fasteners we used.
Nylotec fasteners have a silicone cover on the shaft. This prevents water from seeping into the steel, which promotes rust. With the silicone, Nylotec lasts up to 10 years without rusting and falling out.
This is just before we put plastic on everything in preparation for repainting. We repaint the entire pool cage bronze with our eletrostatic application. This makes the paint attach better to the metal. There’s little chance of it peeling off or fading over the years.
The bronze metal reflects the light, which makes it better-looking aesthetically. We also painted the fascia bronze to match the enclosure.
Here’s our client standing in his new bronze pool enclosure — at least new in the looks aspect.
