What is a retractable pool enclosure?

Just envision a sunroom or solarium on wheels. Like a solarium or a sunroom, retractable pool enclosures provide a real indoor setting that feels as if you are outdoors. However, unlike solariums, indoor pools, or swim spas, retractable pool enclosures will open up your backyard. You get the best of both worlds!

What are retractable pool enclosures used for?

Retractable pool and patio enclosures extend the life of your pool and accessories while reducing maintenance time and costs. A retractable enclosure also: \n• Extends your exercise and entertainment area for all four seasons.\n• Provides exposure to the sun’s warmth without harmful UV rays.\n• Protects from irritating bugs, insects, and animals—similar to a screened pool enclosure but even better!\nAnd there are even more benefits!

How do retractable pool enclosures work?

Retractable enclosures, also known as telescopic pool enclosures, consist of individual bays that retract one inside the other. Each bay has its own wheels mounted on a track system, guiding each section as it opens and closes. The enclosure can be opened fully or partially. An automated drive system handles the physical movement.

Can pool enclosures be used all year round?

Yes! Even on cloudy days, the enclosure traps solar energy. Like sunrooms, it can increase air temperature by 10-20°C (18-36°F) when fully closed. A heated pool or swim spa will also provide additional warmth. In northern areas with severe winters, we offer additional heat sources using our hydronic floor design and air handlers.

How do I open the retractable pool enclosure?

Our enclosures are built with an automated drive system. Simply push a button, and the enclosure will open easily! A large enclosure will fully open within minutes.

Can retractable pool enclosures go over an existing swimming pool or patio?

Yes, you can almost always install an enclosure over an existing inground swimming pool or patio. This creates outdoor pool enclosures when open and indoor pool enclosures when closed. Contact us to discuss details for your site.

How long does it take to order and install an enclosure?

The timeline depends on the enclosure size. As a general guideline, it takes approximately 8-12 weeks after permit approval for installation to be completed. The installation itself typically takes 10 to 15 days, depending on the model.

Pool Domes: A Burlington Essential

Burlington, ON, nestled along the shores of Lake Ontario, is known for its beautiful parks, vibrant cultural scene, and family-friendly community. With its mix of urban amenities and natural beauty, residents enjoy a high quality of life throughout the year. However, Burlington's climate can be quite variable, with cold winters and hot summers, making outdoor pool usage limited during certain seasons. This is where the benefits of having a pool enclosure, such as pool dome covers, come into play. These structures allow homeowners to enjoy their pools year-round, providing protection from the elements and extending the swimming season. A pool enclosure in Burlington offers numerous advantages. It creates a controlled environment that keeps the pool clean by preventing debris, leaves, and insects from entering the water. Additionally, a pool dome cover helps in maintaining the pool's temperature, reducing heating costs during cooler months. The enclosure also enhances safety by preventing unauthorized access and providing a barrier against accidental falls. With a pool dome, families in Burlington can maximize their investment, enjoy their pools in comfort, and add an attractive, functional feature to their outdoor space.
