Certikin foam heat retention covers are a top-of-the-line solution for maintaining optimal heat levels in your pool or spa. Crafted from closed-cell PE foam, our 6mm Thermalux cover is designed to excel in all heat retention applications for pools operating at temperatures of up to 30°C. What sets this cover apart is its construction, featuring a laminated underside and a durable woven polyethylene top coat that ensures longevity and resilience.
One of the standout features of our 6mm foam cover is its low-density material, which effectively minimizes light penetration, thus inhibiting algae growth. This not only keeps your pool cleaner but also reduces the need for chemical treatments. The introduction of a solid white surface option, along with matching joint tape, adds a touch of elegance to the cover, making it a perfect fit for spas, pools with white tile finishes, or lighter pool surroundings.
When it comes to heat retention, the 6mm foam cover truly shines. By fitting snugly and using it correctly, this cover can slash heat loss by a remarkable 85-90%, leading to substantial energy savings. The quick payback period on your investment makes it a cost-effective choice for pool owners looking to lower their operational expenses.
While the manufacturing process ensures high quality, it’s important to note that some minor creasing may be present on the top coat, especially on hemmed covers. Additionally, due to the rolling method used for dispatch, the cover might not lie perfectly flat upon arrival. However, these minor imperfections do not detract from the cover’s overall performance and functionality.
For ease of handling, unless specified differently at the time of ordering, all 6mm foam covers are crafted slightly narrower than the pool’s width, allowing for easy removal and placement. Covers exceeding 10.5m in length will feature seams across the width to maintain structural integrity. Covers larger than 100m2 cannot be hemmed due to size constraints.
In addition to pool covers, we offer a specialized 12mm foam designed for spas and small hydrotherapy pools with operating temperatures of up to 40°C. This dense double-layered blue textured foam, featuring a clear foil laminate on both surfaces, ensures superior insulation and heat retention. The jumbo roll option, measuring 50m x 3m, is perfect for creating multiple cover cut-outs, catering to various pool designs.
It’s important to note that the Thermalux 12mm foam is not compatible with roller systems and cannot be hemmed due to its thickness. The product comes with a reassuring 1-year warranty, providing you with peace of mind regarding its quality and performance.

Manufacturers description:
Certikin foam heat retention covers are manufactured from a closed-cell PE foam. Our 6mm Thermalux is suitable for all heat retention purposes on pools run up to 30°C and benefits from a laminated underside and a strong woven polyethylene top coat making it extremely hard wearing. The density of the material helps to keep light penetration to a minimum and therefore reduces algae growth.Our popular 6mm foam is now available with a solid white surface and joined with a matching solid white joint tape. The crisp white finish is ideal for blending with spas, white tiles and lighter coloured pool surrounds – or just to stand out! Overall performance of the cover is exactly the same as the traditional full blue foam.The main purpose of a heat retention cover is to limit heat loss and this is where foam covers come into their element – a good fitting and correctly used 6mm foam cover will eliminate heat loss by 85-90%, significantly reducing running costs and offering a very quick payback period (retention and payback will differ from site to site).Due to the nature of these materials and the manufacturing process, some creasing of the top coat can be present (especially on hemmed covers) and the cover may not lie perfectly flat. Covers are rolled, not folded, for dispatch in order to eliminate these where possible.Unless requested otherwise at time of order, all 6mm foam covers will be made approximately 30mm narrower than pool width to allow ease of movement on and off the pool. Covers over 10.5m in length will be seamed across the width of the cover. Covers at or over 100m2 cannot be hemmed.Spa / Hydrotherapy FoamA dense 12mm foam which is ideal for spas and small hydrotherapy pools with running temperatures of up to 40°C .
