01

How the slats move

Floating slats roll around a shaft. Their path must stay clear along the pool; water level and step shape are considered when specifying the cover.

Integrate it with the terrace

Base strength, reel alignment, power and motor access are prepared before finishes. A housing may be possible depending on the model, without blocking maintenance.

Closing and safety

To serve as a safety device, the product and installation must meet applicable requirements. We check documentation, locks and pool compatibility; floating slats alone are not enough.

Keep the mechanism accessible

Check slats, attachments and rolling according to the manual. Remove leaves and deposits with compatible products. Operate the cover while keeping the pool in view.
