Product Overview
The CM3TN/18 represents Certikin’s commitment to elegant design without compromising the technical excellence that defines their ladder range. The Tina series incorporates refined aesthetic elements and sophisticated styling that distinguish it from standard ladder configurations, making it the preferred choice for pool installations where visual appeal is as important as functional performance.
This specialized ladder addresses the growing demand for pool access equipment that enhances rather than detracts from overall pool aesthetics, while maintaining the robust construction and safety features essential for reliable long-term performance in both residential and commercial applications.
Sophisticated Tina Design Philosophy
Enhanced Aesthetic Integration
The Tina series represents Certikin’s response to the evolving demands of modern pool design, where access equipment is expected to contribute positively to the overall aesthetic rather than serving as merely functional additions. The CM3TN/18 incorporates refined design elements that create visual harmony with contemporary pool environments.
The sophisticated styling includes carefully proportioned curves, refined joint details, and elegant transitions that transform the ladder from a utilitarian necessity into an attractive architectural element. These design refinements are achieved without compromising the structural integrity and safety performance that define Certikin’s reputation.
European Design Influence
The Tina design philosophy draws inspiration from European pool and spa traditions, where aesthetic excellence is considered integral to functional design. This influence is evident in the ladder’s proportions, detailing, and overall visual presence, creating a product that appeals to users who appreciate refined design sensibilities.
The European design approach emphasizes the integration of functional elements with architectural aesthetics, ensuring that the ladder enhances rather than compromises the overall pool environment while maintaining superior performance standards.
Premium AISI316 Marine-Grade Construction
Superior Material Specification
The CM3TN/18 utilizes the highest quality grade AISI316 marine-grade stainless steel throughout its construction, ensuring exceptional performance while maintaining the pristine appearance essential for aesthetic applications. The premium material specification provides superior corrosion resistance that preserves both functional performance and visual appeal over decades of service.
AISI316 stainless steel’s superior resistance to chloride attack, pitting corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking ensures that the elegant appearance of the Tina design is preserved even under demanding pool chemical environments, maintaining the refined aesthetic that justifies the premium investment.
Professional-Grade Construction Standards
The ladder utilizes substantial 43mm (1.7″) diameter stainless steel tubing, providing exceptional strength and structural integrity while maintaining the refined proportions essential for the Tina aesthetic. This robust construction ensures that the elegant design elements don’t compromise the ladder’s ability to withstand demanding usage conditions.
Every component of the CM3TN/18 is manufactured from matching AISI316 stainless steel, ensuring uniform appearance and performance throughout the entire assembly. This comprehensive approach to material specification maintains the refined aesthetic while eliminating potential corrosion issues that could compromise long-term appearance.
Optimized 3-Tread Configuration with Style
Balanced Functionality and Aesthetics
The three-tread configuration of the CM3TN/18 provides the optimal balance between practical accessibility and visual proportion. This design offers comfortable access for users of all ages while maintaining the refined scale that allows the Tina styling to be fully appreciated.
The tread spacing and overall geometry are carefully engineered to provide comfortable stepping progression while maintaining the elegant proportions that distinguish the Tina series from standard ladder configurations. This balance ensures that aesthetic considerations enhance rather than compromise functional performance.
Enhanced Visual Presence
The Tina design approach transforms the functional elements of the ladder into attractive design features that contribute positively to the pool’s overall aesthetic appeal. The refined detailing and sophisticated proportions create a ladder that users appreciate for its appearance as well as its performance.
The three-tread configuration provides sufficient presence to showcase the Tina design elements while avoiding the visual bulk that could overwhelm smaller pool installations or more intimate pool environments.
Advanced Safety and Performance Features
Premium Anti-Slip Tread Technology
The CM3TN/18 incorporates Certikin’s most advanced stainless steel anti-slip tread technology, ensuring superior grip and stability while maintaining the refined appearance essential for the Tina aesthetic. The anti-slip treatment is carefully integrated with the design aesthetic to provide safety without compromising visual appeal.
The engineered tread surface features precisely designed texture patterns that maximize grip while maintaining the smooth, elegant appearance that defines the Tina series. The anti-slip characteristics are integral to the stainless steel material, ensuring consistent performance throughout the ladder’s extended service life.
Advanced Pinch Anchor System
The CM3TN/18 features Certikin’s sophisticated 1.7″/43mm pinch anchor system, engineered to provide secure installation while maintaining the refined appearance standards of the Tina series. The anchoring system is designed to integrate seamlessly with various pool deck materials and construction methods.
The pinch anchor design distributes mounting loads effectively while maintaining the clean, uncluttered appearance that is essential to the Tina aesthetic. This integration ensures that the functional requirements of secure installation don’t compromise the sophisticated visual appeal.
Specialized Manufacturing and Quality
Made-to-Order Precision
The CM3TN/18 is manufactured to order, ensuring that each ladder meets the specific aesthetic and functional requirements of its intended installation. This made-to-order approach allows for the precision manufacturing necessary to achieve the refined quality standards that define the Tina series.
The specialized manufacturing process ensures that every detail of the Tina design is executed to the highest standards, creating a product that justifies the premium investment through superior appearance, performance, and longevity.
