Has anyone bought these lately? I was quoted 450pounds yesterday by SIBA to replace all the the grating on our 10 x 5 pool. (Not including fitting and the very basic design) Seems a bit pricey to me. To save me trudging from place to place in this heat any assistance would be helpful.

Yes we bought from Pooltech a few weeks ago, 28m plus corners, worked out around £272. It's the newer type, not the straight line type, 25cm width - we will fit ourselves.

See here for prices https://www.kibrishavuzmarket.com/25-cm ... le-pmu2292

PS they weigh about twice the amount of our old ones

Thanks come_on_aylin. Went to Pooltech this morning. They are sold out of the newer type. What they have in the shop are reserved for someone else. They are expecting another delivery in 3 - 4 weeks and have duly ordered - hope that's not a TRNC 3-4 week timing. He assured me it would not be!!

It might be cost effective to fit the new granite type gratings? Over time it will probably prove cheaper, less troublesome and looks a whole lot better?

We have stone grating, chosen for the look and because lifespan should substantially exceed plastic. However, do not be fooled into thinking stone is stronger than plastic. Friends of ours replaced their plastic gratings with stone only to find after a summer of fun around the pool many of the stone gratings had cracked.

Straight edge pools work fine in stone. Roman ends or curves are problematic. Yes, some stone merchants can offer to bespoke shape the stone gratings, at a not insignificant extra cost.

Taking out stone gratings to clear / clean the gullies is something else to consider. Bloody heavy and tiresome after you have carefully lifted out the first 10 gratings and there are 100 or so more to do...

Thanks for the info and agree with your points. I have seen a few of these, good and bad. If they are not laid evenly they are suspect to cracking. I suspect that they weren't laid on an even surface and thus susceptible to cracking. I have seen others done correctly and no cracking. Yes you need to clean them but IMO I reckon they the look and longevity out way the plastic tiles which eventually corrode and contaminate your pool.

What would be a rough price for the stone gratings please

If the stone can crack creating sharp edges that could cause serious injuries I would not consider it. If stainless steel grates were available that might interest me.

The new ones COA posted about are a much much better quality of plastic, not the resinous plastic that goes brittle and crumbles.

I once ran my finger along a broken piece of a stone grill and it was as sharp as a shard of glass. Not for us particularly with a Roman end. I think the price being quoted for the new UV plastic wavy design including two corners is perfectly fine. This will be the third new set we have had in 17 years and is OK with us. (including the set installed when pool first built. )

Pooltech have never let us down and the quote included 4 corners.

Groucho we were offered four corners but only two on our pool are standard angles. Hopefully the 3 - 4 weeks for next delivery is more or less accurate!! Certainly won't ever get another quote from SIBA.

Try Pools R Us - they have a selection of channel grating at different prices and usually have them in stock.
Can be found in Alsancak on the left hand side as you go towards Lapta, just after the Starling Supermarket (Lapta end).
Tel: 0533 867 5470
You can WhatsApp Emine for a quote.
Good luck, hope you find what you want at a reasonable price.

Hi All,
We had stock until recently but have sold a lot in the past month. Seemingly due to our good price.
We do have the 'classic' design in stock, but this newer type design is very popular and it sold out quickly.
We have re-ordered a good amount of this new design and I will post again on here once it arrives in stock.
Thank you very much
Joanna

Has anyone had the coloured grilles ie with blue or green pattern on them? I wondered how long the colouring would last due to chlorine and sun, anybody any idea please?

Available south side, Strovolos, Nicosia. Alpaco Domica Ltd.

If you know a TC who crosses in their private plate vehicle, maybe they can collect on your behalf.

There is some unsubstantiated chatter around taxis possibly being checked by customs. All l know is a TC crossing daily has not being subjected to customs checks.
