Certikin CM4TN/18 Premium 4-Tread Tina Swimming Pool Ladder
As a retailer of pool and spa equipment, I’m proud to offer this distinctive Certikin 4-tread Tina ladder – a thoughtfully designed pool access solution that combines premium marine-grade construction with elegant styling. The Tina ladder represents Certikin’s commitment to creating pool equipment that not only delivers exceptional safety and durability but also enhances the visual appeal of your swimming pool environment.
Distinctive Tina Design Philosophy
The Tina ladder stands out within Certikin’s comprehensive ladder range as a design-focused solution that balances functionality with aesthetic appeal. This ladder is specifically engineered for pool owners who appreciate refined styling without compromising on the robust construction and safety features that Certikin is renowned for. The Tina design incorporates subtle styling elements that create a more elegant pool access solution compared to purely utilitarian alternatives.
This ladder is part of Certikin’s specialized range, where each design serves specific installation requirements and aesthetic preferences while maintaining the same exceptional build quality and safety standards across the entire product line.
Premium Marine-Grade Construction
Constructed from AISI 316 marine-grade stainless steel, this ladder delivers uncompromising durability and corrosion resistance that exceeds standard pool equipment. The AISI 316 grade contains molybdenum (2-3%), which forms protective chemical compounds within the steel matrix that specifically resist chloride-induced pitting corrosion. This advanced metallurgy ensures the ladder performs exceptionally in both traditional chlorinated pools and modern salt chlorinator systems.
The robust 43mm (1.7″) diameter tube construction provides exceptional structural strength while maintaining the refined appearance that characterizes the Tina design. This substantial framework ensures the ladder can handle demanding commercial applications while retaining its elegant aesthetic for decades.
Enhanced Safety Engineering
Professional Anti-Slip Technology
Each Tina ladder features stainless steel anti-slip treads as standard equipment, providing secure footing in all wet conditions. The treads incorporate a precision-engineered texture that maximizes grip while maintaining comfort underfoot, essential for safe pool access in both residential and commercial environments.
Advanced Safety Standards Compliance
This ladder fully complies with Domestic Pool Standard EN 16582-1:2015, ensuring it meets current European safety requirements for residential pool installations. For commercial applications requiring compliance with EN 13451-2:2015, additional double treads can be specified for all tread positions to meet the enhanced safety requirements.
Protective Design Features
The Tina ladder incorporates several thoughtful safety elements:
- Rubber shoe protection at the ladder base prevents damage to pool surfaces and ladder components
- Smooth, rounded construction eliminates sharp edges that could cause injury
- Optimal tread spacing provides comfortable step intervals for users of various ages
- Protective scratch-resistant film on all components during shipping and installation
Revolutionary Pinch Anchor System
The ladder features Certikin’s innovative 1.7″/43mm pinch anchor system – a significant advancement in pool ladder installation technology. This anchor system has been specifically engineered to provide superior holding power and installation versatility across different pool surround materials, making it ideal for both new installations and retrofit applications.
Installation Advantages
- Universal compatibility with concrete, natural stone, tile, and composite pool surrounds
- Secure, permanent fixing that eliminates ladder movement and wobbling
- Enhanced load distribution across the pool deck structure
- Professional installation capability suitable for high-end residential and commercial projects
Corrosion Resistance Excellence
Marine Environment Performance
The AISI 316 construction provides exceptional resistance to the challenging aquatic environment, where continuous exposure to treated water, chemicals, and varying weather conditions can quickly degrade inferior materials. The marine-grade steel ensures long-term performance and appearance retention.
Chemical and Environmental Resistance
The advanced stainless steel construction resists:
- Chlorine and all common pool sanitizers
- Salt water and electrolytic corrosion from chlorinator systems
- pH adjustment chemicals and water balancing products
- UV radiation and extreme weather exposure
- Bacterial growth and biofilm formation
Made-to-Order Manufacturing Excellence
This Tina ladder is manufactured to order, reflecting Certikin’s commitment to precision engineering and quality control. The bespoke manufacturing process ensures each ladder meets exact specifications and maintains the consistent quality standards that professional installers and discerning pool owners expect.
Quality Assurance Process
Every ladder undergoes comprehensive quality control including precision welding inspection, surface finish verification, and component testing. The made-to-order process allows for detailed quality verification at each manufacturing stage, ensuring consistent performance and appearance in demanding pool environments.
Professional Manufacturing Standards
The manufacturing process incorporates advanced welding techniques, precision machining, and specialized finishing procedures that create the distinctive appearance and performance characteristics of the Tina design.
Ideal Applications
This 4-tread Tina configuration is perfectly suited for:
- Premium residential swimming pools where aesthetics matter
- Medium depth pools (typically 1.2m to 1.5m depth)
- Designer pool installations requiring refined styling
- High-end residential developments and luxury properties
- Boutique commercial facilities where appearance is important
- Both concrete and liner pool installations
- Pools where the ladder serves as a design element
Professional Installation Considerations
The Tina design requires careful installation to ensure both optimal performance and aesthetic integration with the pool environment. The made-to-order nature means installation timing should be coordinated with manufacturing lead times to ensure project schedules are met.
Maintenance Requirements
The AISI 316 construction dramatically reduces maintenance requirements while the refined Tina styling maintains its appearance with minimal care. Regular visual inspections and occasional cleaning with fresh water will preserve both the ladder’s safety and its distinctive aesthetic appeal.
