Pool cover

An outdoor pool canopy offers the possibility of using it for a much longer period of time, while at the same time protecting it from the influence of environmental conditions.

The cover also serves for safety reasons, to prevent pollution of the pool, the growth of micro-organisms and the downgrading of its investment.

If all the shutters of the canopy remain closed, an ambient effect is created in the pool. This means that the pool water is considerably warmer compared to that of an unprotected pool. The heat that accumulates in the water during the day is retained to a sufficient extent during the night, so the pool can be used comfortably the next morning.

The canopy consists of a light frame, which is made of aluminum and iron where required. The frame is covered by sheets of polycarbonate that have been specially treated so that they do not absorb UV rays, thus helping to prevent bathers from being dazzled. The shape of the structure can be curved, grid or even polygonal.

Pool cover

The covering surfaces will be made of transparent synthetic material which has the ability to protect against ultraviolet radiation. It can also be covered by other single- or double-walled materials with varying degrees of transparency, such as polycarbonate cellular, solid or even safety glasses, which are however much heavier. It is still possible to combine two different materials in the same canopy, such as safety glass on the roof and synthetic materials on the sides.

The adaptation of the materials to the frame is done by inserting special rubbers or joints or silicone, so that the construction is completely watertight. The entire construction is subject to a special anti-corrosion treatment.

The ventilation or heating of the interior space of the shelter is considered necessary in order not to create the phenomenon of water vapor condensation on the transparent curtains.

In addition, there may be hinged or sliding sections on the roof and on the sides of the shed to ventilate it and to regulate the entry of environmental conditions. Telescopic covers consist of identical elements of approximately 2.00m width, which slide into each other and allow full or partial coverage of the pool.

These elements have suitably shaped lower edges to fit into corresponding guides which are screwed to the curb of the pool at least one meter away from its edge. The telescopic canopy is very easy to operate, covering only the part of the pool that is desired at a time.

Throws

The curtains can also be fully collapsed, providing just a protective element at one end of the pool, or even removed by disconnecting from the ground guides.

On the two narrow sides there is the possibility on one side to integrate a door and on the other there is the possibility of placing a demountable section for even easier access.

Alternatively, the canopy roof can be fixed and the side sheets can be opened to create a permanently covered area with translucent covering elements with completely free sides.

Water pleasure in all four seasons of the year

Make swimming pools, SPAs and their attachments comfortable and enjoyable all year round. Enjoy your pool even in the most unexpected weather conditions in spring, summer and autumn. Don't let the changing weather put a damper on your pool enjoyment.

A pool cover is no longer considered an expensive luxury, but a part of modern living and affordable home extension. The aesthetic effect is also enhanced by the functionality provided. It is a good investment as it helps reduce operating costs and enhance security. It protects the water from contamination and prevents people (especially children) from entering the pool area.

Aluminum designs with stainless steel connectors are immune to the high humidity environmental conditions found in pool areas.

From the largest pool coverage to the smallest SPA coverage, ANTACO can offer unlimited design options to satisfy any need and implement any creative idea of its customers.

Some of the advantages of pool covers are:

• Extending the pool's operating season (spring to fall) without additional water heating costs.
• It traps the heat produced by the sun's rays or heated water and therefore contributes to lower water heating costs.
• It keeps the water free of impurities.
• Limits damage to the pool during the winter.
• It prevents accidents.
