A recent indoor swimming pool project in the Isle of Man utilised several Freefoam products to create an attractive, durable and low maintenance installation, it has been revealed.

Freefoam Plastics, the market leader in environmentally friendly and UV protected roofline and rainwater products, manufactures and supplies a wide range of low maintenance PVC-U products for both exterior and interior applications.

The installation work was carried out by leading installer Courtyard Windows & Glazing, part of the Cedar Developments Group, at a private Isle of Man residence.

The project involved installation of a range of Freefoam cladding and roofline products on both the interior and exterior of the swimming pool.

Products included Freefoam hollow soffit, general purpose board and related trims for the interior; and Magnum ogee fascia, hollow soffit, Freeflow ogee rainwater and related trims for the exterior.

John McGlone, Glazing Manager, Courtyard Windows & Glazing, said: "We chose Freefoam products for this installation because we had full confidence that the results would be both attractive and practical.

"Our customer wanted a finish that was attractive, durable and low maintenance and Freefoam had the full range to complete the task.

"It was also critical to us that all the products would be top quality and with Freefoam that is never an issue."
