Why Choose LEXAN™ Film & Sheet for Swimming Pool Covers?

Pool and swimming pool enclosures are exposed to moisture, UV radiation, temperature fluctuations and mechanical loads. A UV-protected LEXAN™ Film & Sheet polycarbonate sheet provides a lightweight, transparent and impact-resistant material solution for these conditions. The structure, structural design and fastening system must always be engineered for the specific project.

Planning and Installation

What Should Be Considered for Swimming Pool and Pool Enclosures?

Pool enclosures are permanently exposed to moisture, temperature fluctuations and weather conditions. Sheet selection, substructure, fastening, drainage and allowance for movement must therefore be planned as an integrated system. For larger facilities or facilities accessible to the public, the applicable building regulations and safety requirements must also be taken into account.

  • Determine wind and snow loads as well as spans for the specific project.
  • Allow for thermal expansion of the polycarbonate sheets.
  • Select suitable profiles, seals and corrosion-resistant fasteners.
  • Carefully plan drainage and controlled water runoff.
  • Avoid permanent standing water at sheet edges and connections.
  • Check local building, safety and, where applicable, pool regulations.

Depending on the product grade, sheet thickness, bending radius and construction, curved applications may be possible. The permissible processing parameters can be found in the respective technical documentation.

What Sheet Thickness Is Required for a Swimming Pool Enclosure?

A general sheet thickness cannot be recommended. It depends on factors including sheet dimensions, span, substructure, wind and snow loads and the fastening system, and must therefore be determined for the specific project.
