Reinforced Membrane
the excellence of pool coating
An innovative solution for a durable and elegant pool.
Reinforced membranes—also known as reinforced PVC or reinforced liners—are far more than just a simple pool covering. This technical material provides waterproofing, durability, and elegance in all conditions. Karlson Piscines’ expertise in applying reinforced membranes ensures a pool coating that meets your most demanding needs. Discover why this membrane has become the top choice for pool owners and industry professionals alike.
Why Choose a Reinforced Membrane for Your Pool ?
Superior Waterproofing and Exceptional Longevity
The reinforced membrane is known for its high resistance to the extreme conditions that pools often face. Its composition—two layers of PVC reinforced with a polyester core—offers perfect waterproofing that outperforms traditional liners and tile coatings.
-
Multi-layer material: Each layer of PVC is reinforced and treated to withstand chemicals, temperature changes, and UV rays.
-
Increased durability: Unlike traditional liners, often thinner, the reinforced membrane has a thickness measured in decades (typically 150/100, 180/100, or 200/100).
-
Immediate and guaranteed waterproofing: Unlike tiled finishes, which rely on the quality of the grout and substrate, the reinforced membrane is a watertight barrier in itself.
With reinforced membrane, you benefit from a long-term solution, reducing maintenance and repair costs.
At Karlson, the installation of reinforced membrane is considered an art form.
Applying a reinforced membrane requires professional expertise to guarantee optimal waterproofing and aesthetics. At Karlson, each step is carried out with precision, from preparing the pool to the final touch.
-
Edge-to-edge welding: This advanced technique, offered exclusively by Karlson Piscines in Corsica, allows for nearly invisible welds, creating a smooth and seamless finish.
-
Adaptability: The reinforced membrane fits perfectly to complex pool shapes, whether rectangular, oval, or free-form. It is ideal for large pools and custom shapes.
The Karlson team is committed to providing an installation that combines aesthetics and functionality for a long-lasting, flawless result.

The Advantages
When selecting a pool coating, options like classic liners, tiles, and reinforced membranes are available. While each has its merits, the reinforced membrane stands out due to its superior technical qualities and durability. Here’s why reinforced PVC is increasingly becoming the preferred choice for both pool owners and professionals:
Superior Waterproofing and Durability
An exceptional coating choice for those seeking a durable, worry-free solution.
Designed to withstand the demands of the aquatic environment, this membrane stands out for its increased thickness and resistance to chemicals and algae, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing and easy-to-maintain pool for years.
Enhanced Thickness and Resistance
Unlike standard liners, the reinforced membrane is crafted in multiple layers of reinforced PVC and is available in various thicknesses, including 150/100, 180/100, and up to 200/100. This multi-layer, thickened structure offers exceptional strength, resisting punctures, tears, and wear caused by water movement and temperature fluctuations.
Resistance to Chemicals and Anti-Algae Treatment
Pools undergo regular chemical treatments to keep the water healthy and clean. The reinforced membrane is specifically designed to withstand these elements while limiting algae growth thanks to an integrated anti-algae treatment and a high-performance finishing varnish, ensuring lasting protection.
These features guarantee an easy-to-maintain pool, offering a durable, reliable solution to protect your pool year after year.
Pose and Adaptability
The reinforced membrane is remarkably flexible for installation, making it suitable for both new pools and renovation projects, regardless of pool type. Its flexible structure easily adapts to any pool shape, whether rectangular, round, free-form, or even infinity pools.
-
Adaptability for complex shapes: The reinforced membrane suits pools with irregular contours, unique angles, and integrated stairs, providing a uniform, watertight coating that perfectly fits each pool’s geometry.
-
Ideal solution for renovation: The reinforced membrane is an optimal choice for renovating any type of pool. Whether concrete, tiled, or polyester shells, each pool can be perfectly renovated with a reinforced membrane after proper preparation.
Whether for a new project or revitalizing an existing pool, the reinforced membrane guarantees precise, durable installation, tailored to the specific needs of each pool.
The Best Pool Coating: A Comparison
Choosing a pool coating involves factors such as aesthetics, durability, and ease of maintenance. Here’s why the reinforced membrane stands out compared to two other popular options: standard liners and tiles.
Reinforced Membrane vs. Standard Liner
-
Extended lifespan: Due to its robustness, the reinforced membrane can last up to three times longer than a standard liner, reducing replacement and maintenance costs over time.
-
Aesthetic and finishes: The reinforced membrane offers superior visual results with nearly invisible welds when edge-to-edge welded, creating a uniform, smooth surface. It also comes in a broader range of colors and textures than the standard liner, enabling rich and sophisticated customization options.
-
Thickness and robustness: Standard liners are usually thinner (around 75/100) and require more frequent replacements. With greater thickness, the reinforced membrane better withstands external stresses, offering enhanced durability.
Reinforced Membrane vs. Tiles
-
Immediate waterproofing: Tiles depend on the quality of the grout and pool structure, which can degrade over time and lead to leaks. In contrast, the reinforced membrane ensures immediate waterproofing, independent of the support.
-
Faster installation: Installing tiles is complex and time-consuming, whereas the reinforced membrane installs faster and offers greater flexibility to fit even the most complex pool shapes.
Each option has advantages, but the reinforced membrane combines exceptional strength, reliable waterproofing, and simplified maintenance, making it the best choice for those seeking a durable, aesthetically pleasing coating.
A Profitable Investment for Your Pool
Optimized Cost and Remarkable Longevity
While the initial installation of a reinforced membrane may seem more costly than other solutions, it proves to be a profitable long-term investment. Compared to the standard liner, which requires more frequent replacements, and tiles, where grout can degrade, the reinforced membrane offers lasting savings:
-
Fewer replacements: Its enhanced durability extends its lifespan, reducing replacement and maintenance costs.
-
Maintenance savings: Thanks to its easy maintenance and anti-algae properties, the reinforced membrane limits expenses on maintenance products.
