Isothermal pool covers are essential accessories for those who want to keep their pools clean, safe and comfortable. They are covers made of insulating materials that prevent water evaporation and heat loss.
Let’s look at the reasons for using isothermal pool covers and how to choose the right one for your pool.
The advantages of isothermal roofing
These pool enclosures offer several benefits, including water and energy savings, a prolonged swimming season, improved air quality, lower operating costs, for both outdoor and indoor pools.
The types of roofing
There are different types of isothermal pool covers, which differ in shape, material, color and method of installation. Here are some of the criteria to consider when choosing.
- The shape of the pool: isothermal covers must fit perfectly to the shape of the pool, to avoid gaps or overlaps that compromise their effectiveness. For this reason, it is advisable to opt for custom or made-to-measure covers that follow the size and curves of the pool.
- The pool material: isothermal covers consist of an insulating layer that prevents the passage of air and water and a protective layer that resists weathering and UV rays. For example, the most common materials are expanded polyethylene or honeycomb polypropylene, which provide good strength and durability.
- The color of the cover: isothermal covers can be transparent or colored. Transparent covers have the greenhouse effect, that is, they let the sun’s rays through and heat the water during the day. Colored covers, on the other hand, reflect the sun’s rays and keep the water temperature constant even during the day. The most suitable color depends on the climate of the area and personal preference.
- The mode of installation: isothermal covers can be manual or automatic. Manual covers are those that are spread and retracted by hand, with the help of a crank or roller. Automatic covers are those that are operated with a remote control or sensor, and roll up and unfold themselves. They turn out to be more practical and safe, but also more expensive.
