Foil pool - flexible design and proven technology
A liner pool is one of the most widely used solutions in modern swimming pool construction. The liner makes it possible to realise almost any shape and size of swimming pool, from compact swimming pools in private gardens to spacious swimming pools for hotels or communities.
The first liner pools were developed in the 1960s, when new materials supplemented traditional concrete construction. With the introduction of modern swimming pool liners, a cost-effective and flexible solution could be offered for the first time. Today, liner pools are technically mature, durable and available in a wide variety of designs.
The pool liner is a versatile material that is characterised by high durability and reliable impermeability. It is laid directly in the pool and combined with seals, flanges and precise built-in parts such as skimmers, inlet nozzles or steps. The result is a customised liner pool that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Advantages of a liner pool
There are numerous advantages to choosing a liner pool. Particularly noteworthy is the wide variety of liner colours and liner designs that enable individual design. The surfaces adapt perfectly to the needs and wishes of the garden owner, as they are available in classic blue, modern grey and even exclusive patterns.
Another advantage is the flexibility of the construction method. A liner pool can be built using various materials, including concrete pools, system stones or polystyrene, which serve as a base. It is also possible to renovate existing swimming pools by replacing the old lining with a new liner. We will be happy to advise you individually on our preferred methods and what is best suited to your project.
To summarise, a foil pool offers the following advantages:
- a large selection of colours and designs
- a flexible design, particularly in terms of pool size and depth
- Simple renovation of existing swimming pools
- Reliable tightness and resistance to UV radiation
- an attractive price-performance ratio
Construction and technology of a pool with foil lining
The installation of a liner pool takes place in several steps. Firstly, the ground is prepared, usually with a stable base plate or a concrete foundation. The pool walls are then erected. Depending on the conditions and wishes of the client, either concrete, system blocks or polystyrene are used for this. Both classic concrete pools and the inexpensive SolidPool can be considered for construction. In the latter case, the pool walls are made from PVC blocks, which are then filled with concrete.
The foil lining is laid directly in the pool and fixed in place with flanges and seals. Maximum precision is required to ensure a permanent seal. Modern technology ensures that the pool liners are resistant to UV radiation, chemicals and mechanical stress.
Depending on the individual wishes of our customers, the equipment includes a corner staircase, an elegant overflow channel, a Counter-current system or additional installation parts such as nozzles and Lighting. This turns every pool we build into a customised dream pool that is both functional and visually impressive.
Design and layout
As already mentioned, a major advantage of liner pools is the enormous freedom of design. The shape of the pool can be rectangular, round or organic, depending on the project, individual wishes and the space available. The dimensions can also be flexibly adapted so that both small pools for the garden and large swimming pools can be realised.
The film colours offer a wide selection: from classic blue and modern anthracite to exclusive special colours. Film designs with patterns or textures are also possible, giving the water surface a special effect depending on your choice.
With a matching pool cover, an adjoining terrace, chic tiles or an elegant area for lounging, a harmonious overall look is created that integrates the pool perfectly into its surroundings.
Materials and quality
The pool liner is the centrepiece of a liner pool. This liner is made of high-quality plastic that has been specially developed for use in swimming pool construction. The thickness of the liner varies depending on the design, with thicker variants offering particularly high durability.
Compared to other materials such as stainless steel, polypropylene or GRP, the film offers a cost-effective and flexible solution. It is easy to work with, durable and can be replaced if necessary. This makes this type of pool an attractive choice for anyone looking for a functional, attractively priced and aesthetically pleasing pool.
Care and cleaning
Maintaining a liner pool is relatively straightforward, even for non-professionals. The smooth surface of the liner prevents dirt or impurities from settling. In this way, the water remains permanently clear and hygienic with modern water treatment.
Pay attention to the following aspects:
- a regular check of the filter technology and skimmer
- cleaning the pool walls and floor with gentle agents
- Checking the seals and flanges
- the use of a pool cover to keep out dirt
- Adjusting the water temperature using suitable technology
Comparison with other materials
A liner pool differs significantly from other swimming pools.
- Slide: Many design options, cost-effective, easy to replace, wide choice of colours
- Stainless steel: Very durable, elegant appearance, higher costs
- GRP/finished basin: Quick assembly, good technology, smooth surfaces in one piece, less flexible in shape and colour
A pool with a liner is the ideal solution for many projects, especially if a wide range of design options, a good price-performance ratio and easy installation are important.
Prices and costs
The cost of this type of pool depends on many factors. These include the shape chosen, the size, the design, the floor and various extras such as steps, loungers, a counter-current system or a special pool cover. A simple standard pool with a pool liner is cheaper than an exclusive model with extensive equipment and a special pool entrance.
Factors such as the delivery time and the scope of delivery also influence the price, as each type of pool is planned and realised individually. We recommend that anyone interested in a pool should work with a professional like egli jona ag to find the best and most suitable solution for their individual needs. There are many options and alternatives, especially in pool construction, to create not only a pool, but also a living space that appeals to all the senses and provides years of enjoyment with the element of water.
