Why Smartcover Pool?
Smartcover Pool vs. epoxy paint
- Smartcover Pool (water-based acrylic): easier application and faster drying; suitable for concrete/cement pools; good chlorine resistance within standard limits.
- Epoxy: more complex application and stricter curing times/conditions; not always suitable for alkaline substrates without special preparation.
Smartcover Pool vs. “tile paint”
- Smartcover Pool: formula designed for concrete/cement basins, resistant to water and substrate alkalinity.
- Tile paint: designed for interior ceramic coverings; not the right choice for concrete pool shells.
Available colors
White and Blue: classics that highlight brightness and water tone.
