Advantages of Our Pool Covers

Safety is often a major reason for choosing to buy a pool cover, but there are also other benefits. A pool cover protects the pool water from contaminants such as dirt, sand, stones, leaves, and not least rainwater, which alters the pool's pH level.

A pool cover is also an economical option. When you cover the pool, you can use it for a longer period, thereby extending the swimming season. You can expect to swim in the pool from April to October in 28-30 degree water, as the pool covers have high insulation capacity and retain the heat in the pool water.

One of the main advantages of pool covers and pool protection is that they reduce maintenance requirements. This means less work for you and thus easier pool ownership. The cover protects the pool from, for example, falling leaves, but also provides protection against children and pets accidentally falling into the water. If the cover is lockable, you don't need to have a fence or barrier around the pool.

With transparent pool covers, bacterial growth is also reduced, as the sun's UV rays eliminate a large part of it. This means reduced consumption of chemicals and cleaning processes. Good benefits for both nature and your wallet. In winter, the pool cover acts as a perfect winter cover, which also means less maintenance.

We provide various options of pool covers that maintain high quality and a wide range of different models. With us, you can find a pool cover that fits your garden and pool perfectly. Read more about our pool covers

High Pool Covers

When pool covers arrived in Sweden during the 2000s, only the high models were delivered in a box. The high models handle snow excellently and you don't have to worry about the pool cover if you take a winter vacation.

Another advantage of a high pool cover is that they are easier to keep clean. The curved pool cover has a steeper slope along the sides, which makes dirt and snow slide off more easily than on the low pool covers that have a flatter surface.

The curved pool cover is also better when snow accumulates on it; if you have a flat pool cover, it is best to sweep the snow away. If you have a vacation home/cabin with a pool that you don't monitor as closely, a high cover might be better as a winter cover.

The high pool covers have heights around 1.5 meters, which makes it almost feel like your own swimming hall and you get a long swimming season. You can jump, stand, and play throughout the entire pool. Many think they are large, but there are many advantages to large and high covers.

Medium-High Pool Covers

Medium-high pool covers usually have a height of about 90 cm. It is still a good height for a pleasant environment that allows you to swim and stand up in the middle of the pool. Heights under half a meter are considered more as protection.

When you have a cover that is under one meter high above the ground, neither a building permit nor notification is required. However, the distance to the property boundary must be at least 4.5 meters. If you need to place the pool and pool cover closer to your neighbor's boundary, you need the neighbor's written consent.

Medium-high pool covers are a good choice as they do not obstruct the view of the landscape, garden, or the neighbor's view. You can comfortably swim under a fully covered pool, and it allows free movement in the middle of the covered pool area thanks to the higher construction.

The medium-high height of the pool cover is thus a good compromise if you want to be able to stay and move under the pool cover but not block too much of the view from the house or for the neighbors. Medium-high covers also have models with more curved roofs, which makes cleaning easier and provides convenient winter covering.

It is convenient and easy to open the cover with sections that you can move in both directions. If you want, you can extend the rails so that the entire cover can be pushed away from the pool area.

The sliding system facilitates smooth movement of the segments in both directions. If the rails are extended, the entire pool cover can be pushed away from the pool area, so you can swim completely under the open sky.

Low Pool Covers

In recent years, there has been a big trend to have the lowest possible pool cover. Low pool covers do not obstruct the view from the house, which can be valuable if you want to enjoy sunsets or if you have a sea view.

Neighbors can also be a reason for this trend. Low pool covers do not block the neighbor's views, which results in fewer complaints from neighbors.

Another reason to choose a low cover is because of the low total weight, which made it easier to slide the cover sections aside and open the pool. But today's wheel technology, sliding rails, and telescopic constructions mean there is not much difference between those with high or low covers. Their cover sections are equally easy to open.

Ultra-Low Pool Covers with Rail on One Side

The pool cover models Sydney and Champion are ultra-low pool covers that have a rail on only one side. These covers are exclusive and of the highest quality.

Since you usually enter the pool on one side, with this solution you can choose to place the rails on the opposite side so you don't see the rails when entering the pool. A simple and elegant solution to avoid rails.

Child-Safe and Pet-Safe Pool Covers

All our pool covers are approved as safety covers and have lockable modules to keep unauthorized persons out and prevent children from accessing the pool. Drowning accidents are the most common cause of death among small children. Protect your children and pets with a high-quality pool cover that is easy to open and close.

The pool covers keep children and pets away from the pool when you are not present. With a pool cover, you don't have to build a fence or barrier around the pool in the garden, as the pool cover itself is sufficient for safety. Since pool accidents often happen when children are curious and exploring their surroundings, it is easy for them to accidentally fall in.

According to the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's regulations, anyone building a pool must have adequate protection for children and pets to reduce the risk of drowning accidents. This requirement applies to all pools with a water depth over 20 centimeters.

Pets that roam freely on the property also risk falling into a pool without a pool cover. There are no specific directives for safety devices for pets, but you should be able to demonstrate that you have a solution for pets that maintains high safety.

Unbreakable Polycarbonate, Multiwall and Clear Plastic

There are many choices to make when selecting a cover for a pool. Besides the height of the pool cover, there are a variety of material options to choose from. It is important to choose the material that suits you, your needs, and your pool. All the materials we offer are of high quality.

Unbreakable Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate is an incredibly good material for pool covers. It has high strength, which makes the pool cover's roof unbreakable. It is easy to work with and very resistant to UV rays. It is a tough material and withstands temperatures from -50 degrees to +120 degrees.

Multiwall

Multiwall is made of polycarbonate and has an air gap within the material. The multiwall plastic we sell has a thickness of 8 mm.

Multiwall has much better insulation capacity than clear plastic, but a disadvantage is that you do not have as good visibility through the pool cover. A pool cover made of clear plastic releases about 69% more heat than multiwall does.

Clear Plastic

Clear plastic is a solid sheet made of either unbreakable polycarbonate or SAN (acrylic). We sell clear plastic in thicknesses of 3 mm or 4 mm.

The SAN material is four times cheaper than polycarbonate but is less durable; polycarbonate is unbreakable. Polycarbonate is used, among other things, for police shields and is found on the sides of an ice hockey rink. Many choose clear plastic because it is easier to see through the pool cover.

Pool Covers Extend the Swimming Season

The trend of wanting lower and lower pool covers, despite the great advantage in Sweden of having a higher pool cover, is that you can swim under the cover even when it is windy and rainy outside. The aesthetic has simply taken over the practical.

A transparent cover on your pool keeps the pool water temperature warm longer, which means you have good swimming opportunities for a larger part of the year. Since your pool water is heated by the sun's rays, the cost of heating is also reduced.

Our recommendation is to choose a pool cover based on how you will use the pool. Choosing a pool based on how you think the neighbor should see it is a less good idea. Welcome to us for advice on the different models. We have many years of experience and can provide good options for your pool, good advice, and knowledge on how they should be installed.

The most popular construction of pool covers is the telescopic type, made of sections in gradually increasing sizes that slide into each other. Each section rolls on tracks along the edge of the swimming pool to the end of the pool where the sections fit under the largest section.
