The short answer
We use Haogenplast PVC membranes with a ten-year warranty. White gives bright turquoise, sand a warm blue, grey a blue-green, black a dark mirror. There are also ranges with an embossed texture or a printed stone or mosaic look.
How the water changes with the membrane
Water has no colour. What you see is the light reflected by the floor. Over a white membrane the sun gives the familiar Caribbean turquoise. Sand softens it, like a beach. Light grey gives a cool blue-green that suits modern houses. Navy and black deepen the water and turn it into a mirror.
The ranges
- Plain colours: white, sand, light grey, light blue, navy, light green, black.
- Embossed: textured surface, more slip-resistant and with depth in the light.
- Stone-look: for a natural feel, suited to gardens with stone.
- Printed mosaic or tile: for the classic look without grout lines.
The photos below are the manufacturer's and show some of the ranges.
Choosing in Attica
In sunny gardens of the southern suburbs, a light membrane keeps the water a little cooler. In shady gardens in the north, a dark one warms it faster. In small yards, a light one makes the space look bigger. In overflow pools, a dark one strengthens the mirror effect.
How long it lasts and how to look after it
The membrane has a ten-year manufacturer warranty and usually lasts longer if the water is kept in balance. The biggest risks are too much chlorine, which fades colours, and sharp objects. See maintenance.
From our experienceWe bring samples to the site visit. Look at them outside, in the light of your own garden, not indoors. The difference is big.
