Look at the picture at the top of this article. We took it on any given day after fitting one of our covers. The goal was to make it very clear, at a glance, that we are not kidding when we say that Capcovers are very, very strong.
How much weight do you estimate the tarpaulin is supporting? We would say around 230 kilos, concentrated on a single point of the cover.
What makes our covers so robust?
Three important factors come together to ensure that our Capcovers can withstand so much weight and remain rigid in the event of a fall into the pool:
1. They are PVC tarpaulins. Each of our tarpaulins is specifically designed to be used as a pool cover. Their thickness, their weight and their resistance to tearing or breakage comply with the French standard NFP 90-308 for swimming pool safety. Among other things, this standard states that “Covers must be designed, constructed or installed in such a way as to prevent the unintentional immersion of children under five years of age. They must also be resistant to the passage of an adult and not cause injury”.
Installation of rails. Our covers slide along the rails so that they can be opened and closed comfortably. In addition, when the cover is laid down, the rails serve as a grip. Our Toptrack rails, made of anodized aluminum, have no screws on the outside. Due to their rounded shape and low height, they are not an obstacle when accessing the pool.
3. Flush with the water. For everything to work perfectly, it is necessary that the cover rests on the water sheet. It is precisely our greatest ally, since it exerts the resistance force that allows the cover to support any type of weight on it.
The combination of these three features makes installing a Capcovers cover synonymous with safety and peace of mind. Don’t worry about children or pets, and let them play freely in the garden.
How are Capcovers manufactured?
Each of the Capcovers pool covers is made to measure for each client in our central factory in Salteras, Seville, depending on the size of the pool or the chosen color. The material, PVC, is a plastic derivative, malleable and resistant to sun, rust or chemical degradation, which guarantees the durability of the cover for years.
In the video you can see, step by step, how the manufacturing process works.
Now that you have seen how our automatic covers are manufactured, all that remains is for you to see how we install it in your home or business 😉
