Telescopic Covers

Telescopic covers are rigid and elevated structures that cover and protect outdoor in-ground pools. Their main function is to insulate the pool from the external environment and help retain heat inside the dome. With your telescopic cover, you will be able to extend the swimming season by several months or even all year round. The cover maintains a warm temperature inside, promoting a more pleasant and enjoyable swim. And not only that, it also reduces the dirt accumulated in the pool, so the water will boast a cleaner and clearer appearance. In our catalogue, you will find multiple designs and manufacturers so you can find the option that best suits your needs and the style of your pool and garden.

 

Telescopic Covers to Enhance Pool Quality

 

Summer is coming to an end, and with it, the sad moment of saying goodbye to your pool until next year. But if you are one of those people who find it hard to say “goodbye” and wish you could enjoy endless swims all year round, we have the solution. Telescopic covers are fantastic structures that allow you to extend the swimming season by several months or even use your pool continuously.

 

Gone are the days of tarpaulin covers, which had a much more limited function. Telescopic covers not only provide the protection and safety that winter covers boast. Being rigid and elevated structures, they insulate the pool from the outside environment, creating a warm microclimate inside the dome.

 

There are multiple types of covers on the market, so you can choose a model according to your needs. The most common, for both above-ground and in-ground pools, are tarpaulin covers that cover the water surface and prevent the accumulation of impurities. Another type of cover that serves the same function as fabric ones but with the added benefit of greater strength and durability are wooden covers. Finally, within the range of pool covers, fixed and telescopic covers stand out. These are made up of a rigid and robust dome with glazed panels, resembling a greenhouse in appearance.

 

If you have an in-ground pool and want to use it throughout the year, we invite you to check our catalogue of telescopic covers. There you will find a wide variety of models in different shapes and sizes, with the possibility to customise their appearance to achieve a unique design tailored to your tastes.

 

 

Differences Between Fixed and Telescopic Covers

 

What is the difference between a fixed cover and a telescopic cover? At first glance, both seem to have the same type of installation and a very similar design. Which one should you choose?

 

Telescopic Covers

 

Telescopic covers are elevated and rigid installations that consist of retractable modules. What makes them unique and special is their ability to fold onto themselves. This means you can choose to fold or unfold them depending on how you want to use your pool.

 

These covers offer all the benefits of a fixed elevated cover, but with the added advantage that they can be retracted to allow open-air swimming.

 

Their main strength is their versatility of use. You can enjoy refreshing swims in summer, feeling the warmth of the sun’s rays and the cool breeze; and continue enjoying your pool when weather conditions become challenging.

 

The modules that make up the dome slide forwards and backwards via a system of wheels or rails. This extension and retraction mechanism can be motorised, making it an automatic process, or operated manually.

Fixed Covers

 

Fixed and static. Unlike telescopic models, fixed covers do not move or slide. It is a structure permanently anchored to the ground, so the pool is always protected by a protective dome.

 

This type of stable and durable installation is more recommended in colder climatic areas. Outdoor pools located in low-temperature places require some method of water heating to ensure warmer and more pleasant swims.

 

Fixed covers provide better heat insulation due to their immovable and static structure. Since they do not open or close, they preserve warmth inside, acting like a greenhouse.

 

Therefore, to maximise the efficiency of any heating device, such as heat pumps and exchangers, it is optimal to install a fixed cover.

There are various designs of telescopic covers to offer an elegant and comfortable product while maintaining maximum functionality. Explore each available option to discover their advantages and strengths.

 

Flat Telescopic Cover

 

A type of cover with a design more similar to a traditional pool cover. Due to its very low height, it respects your garden’s landscape and creates minimal visual impact. It offers maximum security and pool maintenance benefits with a rigid and robust design.

 

This type of cover provides protection to the pool and security against external agents. Due to its compact size, the modules need to be unfolded to allow swimming.

Low Telescopic Covers

 

Low telescopic cover

Low or medium height, they are taller than flat covers, so they do allow swimming in the pool with the cover fully extended. They share many features with flat covers in terms of functionality and ease of use. They still boast a design that barely affects garden visibility, but with the added benefit of forming a dome that allows swimming inside.

 

They help create a warmer and more pleasant climate to enjoy swims in a heated pool all year round.

 

 

High Telescopic Covers

 

There is a wide range of heights and shapes for this type of cover. They create a unique and special environment in your garden. Although they obstruct the view of your outdoor area, they add a touch of luxury and sophistication to the pool area. Without a doubt, they boast an elegant and distinguished aesthetic, with glazed panels that enhance the external décor.

 

The main benefit of this type of rigid cover is the generous internal space they provide, allowing for comfortable swimming with greater freedom of movement. Swims all year round regardless of the cold outside or any weather conditions.

 

The pool area will become a habitable and warm space throughout the year. You can furnish the interior with loungers or sofas to enjoy your garden in winter.

 

You will discover a new lifestyle of comfort and relaxation inside the dome.

Wall-Mounted Telescopic Covers

 

Wall-mounted telescopic cover

These are covers attached to walls or partitions. They optimise the available outdoor space and make better use of the structure’s manufacturing resources and materials. It is an ideal solution for pools located very close to houses or other buildings.

 

The most common use for this type of cover is placing them over pools situated very near the home. The cover will appear as an extension of the house. You can even install a door connecting the interior of the home with the pool area.

 

An advanced comfort and design solution that optimises your garden space.

 

 

Benefits of Using Telescopic Covers

 

Clean and Crystal Clear Water

 

The cover insulates and protects the pool from dirt in the external environment. It acts as a barrier preventing debris and impurities carried by wind and rain from entering. It protects the water from falling leaves, pollen, sand and dust, insects, and even bad weather. It therefore reduces water contamination and keeps it clean for longer. As a result, the water will look clear and pristine during all your swims.

 

Savings on Cleaning Products

 

The insulation provided by the cover, preventing excessive water contamination, contributes to longer-lasting clean water. The reduction of debris and waste in the pool also leads to less use of chemical cleaning and water care products. You will notice that, with clean and disinfected water, maintenance is less frequent and dosing of substances to control water quality is reduced. Therefore, pool maintenance costs and chemical product expenses will decrease. Additionally, you can spend the time saved on pool care on more enjoyable and interesting activities.

 

 

Safety and Protection

 

Do you have small children or pets? Telescopic covers act as a safety barrier between children, animals, and the pool. They protect the pool area by standing as a perimeter around the danger zone. Your children, dogs, and cats can play safely in the garden without fear of falling into the water. The cover reduces the risk of accidents.

 

Additionally, they include locking systems that ensure the cover is sealed and prevent access inside the dome.

 

Warm Baths

 

The material, design, and shape create a warm environment inside the dome formed by the structure. The cover acts like a greenhouse and insulates the pool area from the outside environment. It allows you to extend pool use by several more months or even all year round (if you have heating equipment).

 

It not only benefits the pool and swimming but also creates a pleasant climate inside the dome. The entire interior space will enjoy a great temperature so you can enjoy that garden area in winter.

 

 

 

Customised Telescopic Covers

 

Within our catalogue of telescopic covers, you will find a wide range of customisable covers. Manufacturers offer the option to tailor the size and design of your telescopic cover to obtain a unique product adapted to your pool’s characteristics.

 

The aspects you can choose regarding cover customisation are as follows:

Material and opacity of the panel glass.

Motorised or manual system.

Frequently Asked Questions About Telescopic Covers

 

We have gathered some of the most common questions from our customers in one section. The aim is to clarify some doubts and facilitate your purchase process and choice of telescopic cover model.

 

I live in a cold area and want to heat my outdoor pool; would a telescopic cover be suitable?

 

If the main goal is to insulate the pool to heat the interior space and enjoy warm swims, fixed covers are the most recommended. Fixed covers are static and provide better insulation and heat retention. Their superior insulation will also optimise the performance of any heating device you may have.
