Key Reasons Pool Owners Choose Vinyl Liners


Smooth, Comfortable Surface

Unlike rough concrete finishes, vinyl liners feel smooth and soft underfoot, helping prevent cuts, abrasions, and swimwear damage.


Flexible & Resistant to Ground Movement

Aqualux liners can stretch up to 300%, allowing them to absorb natural ground movement. Hard finishes can crack over time, but vinyl maintains a watertight seal.


Faster Renovations

In many cases, a vinyl liner can be installed directly over an existing smooth surface, meaning renovations are quicker and less disruptive than traditional resurfacing.


Wide Range of Colours & Patterns

Aqualux liners are available in a wide range of colours and textures, allowing homeowners to customise the look of their pool to suit their landscaping and outdoor space.


Proven Durability

Aqualux pool liners have been used in thousands of pools across Australia and New Zealand since the 1970s, offering reliable long-term performance.


When Vinyl Pool Liners Are Ideal


Vinyl liners are a popular choice for:

• Pool renovations

• Replacing old painted concrete surfaces
