Retractable Hard Surface Pool Covers

Have you been shopping for a new pool cover in Vancouver or Kelowna recently? If so, you may have come across some pretty cool hard surface covers that are different from your traditional fabric pool covers.

If they look anything like the ones in these pictures, then you’ve stumbled upon slatted pool covers. More and more of our customers are asking for these polycarbonate hard surface slat pool covers, especially in BC. (We also service the rest of the country.)

What are the benefits of these hard surface pool covers in Canada, you ask? Well, these specially extruded rigid slats not only add a conductive bottom layer to a transparent or colored surface layer, but they also act as a solar cover, keeping the heat inside your pool.

Why is polycarbonate so important? It’s an ultra durable plastic that has unparalleled impact resistance and provides superior UV protection. Unlike other materials that can be affected by direct UV light, polycarbonate won’t deteriorate from the UV rays. Plus, it’s moldable, lightweight, flame-resistant, shatterproof, and energy-efficient.

These slats can be either clear or made in any color you can imagine. They can withstand extreme weather conditions, hot or cold, and maintain their colour and durability throughout the year.

And the benefits don’t stop there. Slatted pool covers offer the same security and protection for your loved ones when playing around the pool acting as a barrier, keeping children and pets safe from accidentally falling in, and help reduce water evaporation and energy costs. They also make it easier to keep your pool clean, giving you more time to enjoy it.

Last but not least, these covers add a sleek and modern touch to your backyard, improving the look of your pool area and impressing your guests.
