Traditional pool liners
Traditional pool liners are the most widely-used pool lining solution, and are the most accessible on the market.
They are made from PVC, with a thickness of 75/100. It acts like a flexible, waterproof pouch which fits the shape of your pool perfectly. It is designed to suit the exact form of your pool. Install it on the walls to provide a great water seal and an attractive finish.
Liners will generally last for ten years. This lining solution is highly resistant, anti-UV, anti-algae and can also be non-slip. However, certain factors such as the quality, maintenance, treatment and even the number of swimmers can affect the lifetime of your liner.
Reinforced membranes
These are also PVC liners, but are thicker. They are made up of PVC sheets, reinforced with a polyester framework. This makes the membrane thicker and more resistant than a classic liner, providing an effective seal for 15 to 20 years. It is delivered in a roll, assembled and sealed in the pool.
