Pool cover shutter
Who is the pool shutter recommended for?

For you, if you want to cover your pool in a special, elegant way. If you are looking for a solution that both heats and protects your pool. One that, even when covering the pool, does not block the view of your landscape and organized garden, and which you can comfortably operate at the push of a button, considering convenience.

The pool shutter cover is the most beautiful and aesthetically pleasing solution for covering a pool.

Compared to often cold, uncovered pool water, the solar slats of the pool roller warm the water with the help of sunlight, keep it warm, and can raise the water temperature by 10–15°C.
Besides maintaining a pleasantly warm pool temperature, one of its most favored features is its minimalist, modern, extremely elegant, and discreet design.
Its floating slats glide silently over one another. Movement is automatic, operated with a switch to open and close, but can also be manually operated if necessary.

The pool shutter’s slats float on the water, so unfortunately they do not perfectly protect the water from small debris — such as falling fluff or dust.
The pool roller is made exclusively to order, in various sizes and shapes. It is not a pre-manufactured standard product but a completely custom-made item.

Advantages of a pool roller:

Energy saving:
It prevents evaporation, resulting in the need for fewer chemicals and less water refilling.

Extended swimming season:
Thanks to the solar slats, the pool roller can increase the pool water temperature by up to 10–15°C.

Cleaner pool:
Thanks to the pool shutter, larger contaminants — such as leaves and insects — do not get into the pool.

Convenient use:
The shutter can be rolled onto the pool with the press of a button thanks to the automatic winding system.

Types of covers:
The winding mechanism of the pool roller can be placed underwater or on the surface, customized to fit your pool. There are several installation methods, and making it safe is also simple: a stainless steel railing can be mounted on the pool wall below the water level, or a ledge can be built into the wall onto which the edge of the pool shutter rests, supporting anyone who accidentally steps on it.
The most practical solution is to install the pool shutter during pool construction, but it can also be installed afterward, adapted to the specific conditions of the pool.

It is important to be aware that in order to fully cover the water surface, the width of the pool must not be wider than the space where the pool roller is wound up.

A1 – Pool roller placed at the edge
Already built, small- and medium-sized pools, primarily indoor pools, are recommended to be covered this way.
If you would like to cover an already constructed pool with a shutter, hidden solutions can be implemented by modifying the pool structure. However, if you wish to avoid the destruction associated with cutting, demolishing, and renovating the pool, we offer an elegant solution.
We execute the installation of the pool shutter by placing an automatic, motorized winder at the edge of the pool, making the movement of the pool shutter sophisticated, simple, and convenient.
The roller shaft is placed at the poolside but takes up little space and offers an aesthetic appearance.
We recommend it for pools up to a maximum size of 5 × 10 meters.

A2 – Pool shutter placed at the edge with cover
For outdoor pools, it is advisable to cover the winding mechanism (especially in the case of solar pool shutters), practically hiding it in a platform or sunbed.
This is important because the intense heat caused by sunlight can damage the shutter structure, as the water trapped between the slats can boil.
It is recommended for larger pools where there is an opportunity to hide the roller under a cover.
It can be very easily installed for most types of outdoor pools that have not yet been constructed.

A3 – Pool roller hidden in a floor trough
The rolled-up shutter is wound into a hidden floor trough. Thanks to the hidden trough, the entire pool area remains usable, as it does not take up space from the useful water volume.
It is primarily recommended for indoor pools that are still in the planning or construction phase, where the pool space is limited.

A4 – Pool roller placed on the pool floor
The rolled-up pool shutter drum is located at mid-height or entirely on the pool floor, and it can even be used as a seating bench.
Thanks to its easy installation, it can also be retrofitted to existing pools.

A5 – Pool roller hidden in a wall niche
Among the hidden types, this is the only one that does not require a cover, making cleaning easier.
When rolled up, the shutter does not occupy any usable water surface.
It is recommended for outdoor pools that are still in the planning or construction phase.

A6 – Pool shutter hidden under a resting bench
The shutter is hidden under a sitting or lying bench about 80 cm wide, placed below the water level.
The shutter cover can have various designs.
It is recommended for overflow or infinity pools that are still in the planning or construction phase.

A7 – Pool shutter recessed under the water surface
The simplest version of underwater shutters.
It is also suitable for retrofitting to existing pools.
It is suitable for both outdoor and indoor pools.
The roller shaft can also be used as a seating bench.
The motor can be installed without the need for an external shaft.

A8 – Pool shutter hidden in an upper chamber
The shutter is placed in a chamber covered with a stone slab or tropical wood.
It is recommended to cover the top of the shutter chamber with a similar material as the pool surroundings so that it blends seamlessly.
It is recommended exclusively for outdoor and indoor pools that are still in the planning or construction phase.

A9 – Pool shutter hidden in the pool floor, covered with an automatic lid
It allows the covering of specially shaped pools, such as oval, trapezoidal, etc.
The chamber located under the pool floor is covered with a motorized lid.
With the push of a button, the lid opens and the shutter emerges.
The hidden design does not reduce the pool’s usable length.
It is recommended for outdoor and indoor pools that are still in the planning phase.

Are you just starting to build your pool?
If you have just decided to build a pool and would like to have a pool shutter, you can plan it in advance.
It can be advantageous to focus our attention here as well, because you won't be left without guidance.
You will know which version is the most sympathetic and practical for you.
Every type of pool shutter — while having advantages — can also have disadvantages (for example: you cannot completely avoid using a winter cover if you have a pool shutter, as it is not suitable for simple winterizing. Frozen slats can be damaged by ice unless the water is circulated and tempered with a pool heat pump).
Thus, with thoughtful planning, the pool shutter system can be completely hidden in the pool.
It is one of the most popular products because it can be hidden at the pool floor or at the end of the pool, and the rolled-up shutter does not disturb the view.

How much does a pool shutter cost?
First of all, it is important to know that pool roller products represent the highest level of quality, and therefore their construction costs are in the luxury range.
Due to the quality of materials used and the professionalism of the installation, we can state that it is a premium category construction.
The cost of installation is significantly influenced by the size of the shutter (surface area in m²), the type of motorization (whether the motor is outside the pool, placed on the floor, or hidden inside the pool), and the brand, style, and functionality of the shutter slats.

Prices vary between manufacturers, primarily due to the quality and price of the slats used.
The cheapest options are usually thin-profile PVC slats.
The next level is premium PVC slats, which are manufactured with thicker profiles, making them much stronger and more durable.
These are available in various colors, or in solar versions with a black underside (heat-absorbing) and a transparent upper side.
The solar slats are also available in UV-stable polycarbonate, but their price is on average two to three times higher than basic PVC profiles.
Foamed PVC types are also very popular but are similarly priced to polycarbonate slats.

A pool shutter offers extremely practical solutions for those seeking options that combine style and functionality for pool covering.
It is an ideal choice for those who consider it important that their pool remains easy to maintain and protect while maintaining an aesthetic appearance.
Pool shutters offer innovations that not only maintain and increase water temperature but also protect pool cleanliness against external contaminants.

These covers are extremely versatile and offer many advantages.
Their energy efficiency by preventing evaporation reduces chemical use and the need for water refilling, contributing to more sustainable pool operation.
Additionally, by raising the water temperature, they allow the pool to be enjoyed over longer periods, even in cooler weather.

Some types of pool rollers elegantly blend into the environment, with a minimalist and modern appearance that harmonizes with the surroundings of the pool.
They are extremely easy to operate, even fully automated, meaning they can be controlled at the push of a button.
Proper installation and maintenance of such covers guarantee long-term efficiency and comfort.

However, it is important to consider that while pool shutters excellently protect the pool from larger contaminants such as leaves or insects, they cannot completely prevent small debris, dust, or fluff from entering the pool water.
These covers are made to order based on the customer's needs and are available in various sizes and shapes.
It is important to note that pool shutters are custom products, not part of a pre-manufactured series, and therefore require careful planning and measuring for installation.

There are different types and covering options for pool shutters.
These include edge-standing, covered, or hidden versions, recommended for various sizes and types of pools.
Safety measures for installation and the proper method of covering are also important factors for effective use.

The price of these types of pool covers is influenced by many factors, such as size, quality and type of slats used, and the style and functionality of the movement mechanism.
Premium category pool shutters may involve higher costs due to the quality of materials and installation, but because of the long-term savings in energy and water and the provided comfort and aesthetics, their purchase and installation are attractive to many.

Therefore, if you are planning the construction of your pool and opt for a pool shutter, it is important to plan ahead and consider the advantages and disadvantages of each type.
Pool shutters are investments, and it is worth taking into account their benefits in terms of pool maintenance and convenience.
