90% of heat loss from swimming pools is through the water surface. It can be stopped most effectively by using a heat retention cover. Thermalux 6mm Indoor Pool Covers are manufactured from a closed-cell PE foam and are suitable for all heat retention purposes on pools run up to 30°C.
Thermalux 6mm covers benefit from a laminated underside and a strong woven ployethylene top coat, making it extremely hard wearing. The density of the material helps to keep light penetration to a minimum and therefore reduces algae growth.
Thermalux heat retention covers will eliminate heat loss by 85 - 90% when correctly fitted and used, significantly reducing running costs and offering a very quick payback period.

Due to the nature of the materials and the manufacturing process, some creasing of the top coat can be present and the cover may not lie perfectly flat, so to help eliminate this covers are shipped rolled, not folded.
Hemming is available at an additional cost of £1.50 per linear foot/£5.00 per linear metre.
*Note: Unless requested at time of order, all 6mm foam covers will be made approximately 30mm narrower than the pool width, to allow ease of movement on and off the pool. Covers over 10.5m in length will be seamed across the width of the cover. Covers at or over 100m² cannot be hemmed.
