Looking For The Best Telescopic Pool Enclosure?
See more in Garden Design
Here we investigate two types of Swimming Pool Enclosures to see which is best. These new Low Profile design of pool enclosure not only offer all the great benefits of the larger enclosures, such as heat retention, low maintenance, safety, and security, but they also offer exceptional value for money.
There are two main types of low profile Telescopic Pool Enclosure on the market. Firstly, the original tracked enclosures, and now, in the last few years, the trackless enclosures. But which one is best for you?
To try and answer this, we’ve compared two models; the tracked K1000, and the trackless KT1000, both from UK Pool Enclosures. They can both be found their web site. The Swimming Pool Enclosures comparison is based on a number of different criteria and priorities. These are: Easy of use, product performance, visual aesthetics, design and construction, flexibility of use, and price.
So firstly; let’s look at ease of use. Both enclosures are relatively effortless to operate, but the Tracked enclosure probably has the edge in terms of how easy the enclosure is open and close, as it only requires one person. Whereas the trackless enclosure should have two people, to ensure the enclosure does not go out of line whilst being opened or closed.
The second camparison is product performance. Now in terms of performance, and heat retention and absorbtion, both Swimming Pool Enclosures types are pretty much on a level. They both provide great insulation properties due to the nature they are both low profile, minimizing the amount of cooling air space above the pool surface.
And onto visual aesthetics. Both products offer something different, in terms of materials used, and how high or visible they are as structures.
Aesthetics can be more important than anything to some pool owners. This often means the Trackless Telescopic Pool Enclosure seems to come out on top. These particular Swimming Pool Enclosures combine different material to good effect. Also Trackless pool enclosures are somewhat lower profile than the Tracked models (maximum heights of between 1.3m-1.5m). For some, the lower profile a disadvantage in terms of easy access to the pool when the enclosure is on.
Another aesthetic consideration is the presence of tracks around your pool.
In terms of design, materials, and construction, both these Swimming Pool Enclosures are of a very robust construction. However the Tracked enclosures only require a lighter framework, because the tracks themselves are part of the overall robustness. The Trackless enclosures by contrast require a more substantial framework to provide rigidity and strength. With both enclosures, the Modules can be locked down when not in use, or you are away from your house, to provide additional security and protection for your pool.
With flexibility, there is no clear winner. The Trackless have the benefit of doors at both ends for ease of access. They can also be opened either way on your pool, and can be easily moved totally away from your pool in the Summer to provide all round access to your pool.
The tracked enclosures allow you to independently open Modules. This allows you to enjoy some protection from cool winds by keeping the end Modules in place, and yet still have open air swimming, by opening the centre one or two Modules. The tracked enclosures can also be moved completely away from our pool edge by opting for the track extensions.
And finally there’s price. And if price is your big priority, then no doubt the Tracked Swimming Pool Enclosures come out top. See the web site for latest prices.
