Technology that convinced.
What our coverage makes it better.
Greater safety thanks to 4 chambers
Four air chambers instead of the usual three – this ensures maximum buoyancy and a reassuring extra layer of safety. When closed, your pool is optimally protected and stabilised.
Less space, less mess
Thanks to the cleverly designed convex curve, rainwater and dirt run off immediately, and the rolling radius is significantly reduced when the awning is rolled up. The benefits for you: a more compact installation, less cleaning and a consistently clean appearance.
Noticeably more robust
In the comparable products we examined, we measured wall thicknesses of around 0.80 mm. In this comparison, the measured wall thickness of our profile – at up to 1.45 mm – is around 81 per cent greater than the 0.80 mm of the comparable profile examined (no comparison with the market as a whole). This ensures high rigidity and dimensional stability. You can feel the difference immediately when you hold it in your hand.
Tightly welded
Others glue or seal the ends with silicone – the classic weak point where water seeps in and algae form. We weld them securely and permanently: completely watertight, durable, and available in either a colour to match or transparent.
Individual profiles can be swapped out easily
If a profile becomes damaged, simply replace that one component – without having to laboriously bend back the cover at the joints. This saves time, money and hassle, and protects the product.
Premium cover included
A special UV- and anti-algae coating often comes at an extra cost elsewhere. With us, this protection is built in from the outset across all profiles in the PC series. Your cover will remain clear, clean and attractive for the long term.
Evaporation is the biggest Heat thieves.
Most of the energy is lost through the open water surface: evaporation is the mechanism involved the largest proportion of heat loss of a swimming pool. Every litre that evaporates carries heat away – and must be replaced by adding more hot water and topping up the pool.
A tight-fitting cover prevents exactly that. It keeps heat, water and chemicals in the pool – day and night. The extent of this effect depends on the specific pool, its location and how it is used.

This is exactly where the cover comes in: it seals the water’s surface and significantly reduces the biggest source of loss.

Design Cover PC – The polycarbonate pool cover in detail
Design Cover PC is the high-quality slatted pool cover from Rollo Solar, made from solid polycarbonate. It combines three features that are often mutually exclusive: a high level of safety, noticeable heat retention and a design that enhances the pool rather than hiding it. Each profile is manufactured at our workshop in Bad Tölz – made to measure for your pool.
Why polycarbonate?
Polycarbonate is significantly more impact-resistant and dimensionally stable than standard PVC profiles. The Design Cover PC is designed to withstand a total load of up to 100 kg; test reports are available from TÜV for selected models. The hail resistance classification of the relevant profiles is currently undergoing a re-audit. The profiles are constructed as 4-chamber hollow profiles – the enclosed air chambers provide buoyancy and good thermal insulation of the water. The curved profile shape also ensures rapid water drainage and reduces dirt build-up – a self-cleaning design.
Safety you can see
A pool cover is always a safety cover too. When fitted with a suitable perimeter support or handrail, the closed cover enhances accident prevention. The Design Cover PC is designed to withstand a total load of up to 100 kg. The pool cover is not a walkable surface and does not replace the duty of supervision.
Retain heat, save energy
The profile lies directly on the water’s surface. Solar-coloured variants can transfer additional heat into the pool water when there is sufficient sunlight – without requiring any additional heating energy to achieve this heat gain. At night, the cover reduces evaporation and retains heat in the pool. The extent of the potential savings depends on the specific pool, location and usage patterns.
Colours and design
The Design Cover PC is available in ten standard colours – ranging from subtle transparent and lagoon shades to elegant solar metallic tones such as copper metallic, carbon/metallic or steel blue. On request, we can produce almost any RAL colour; very dark shades are available following a brief feasibility analysis. This ensures the cover blends in with the architecture rather than standing out.
Quality from Bad Tölz
Rollo Solar has been manufacturing pool covers in Germany since 1983. You buy directly from the manufacturer – with made-to-measure profiles and a 5-year guarantee on the profile. We tailor the retraction mechanism and drive system to suit your pool individually.
Frequently asked questions about the Design Cover PC
Can you walk on the Design Cover PC?
The profile is designed to withstand a total load of up to 100 kg and, when supported by a suitable perimeter frame, enhances accident prevention. The pool cover is not a walkable surface and does not replace the duty of supervision.
What is the difference between the Design Cover PC and PVC?
The PC profile, made of polycarbonate, is more impact-resistant, more durable and available in elegant metallic finishes. The Design Cover PVC is the robust, more attractively priced option. You can find a direct comparison in the profile comparison.
Can the cover withstand hail?
The hail resistance classification of the profiles in question is currently undergoing a re-audit. Once the audit is complete, the updated entry will be made in the relevant hail registers.
How much heat does the cover provide?
A cover placed on top of the pool primarily reduces evaporation – the greatest source of heat loss from a pool. Solar-coloured variants can transfer additional heat into the pool water when there is sufficient sunlight. The actual effect depends, amongst other things, on the location, sunlight, the pool itself, weather conditions and usage.
Does algae form under the cover?
Not if the water treatment is correctly maintained. The cover keeps out dirt, leaves and pollen and reduces the need for chemicals – the water quality remains more stable than in an uncovered pool.
Can the Design Cover PC be retrofitted?
Yes. We manufacture the profiles to precise measurements for existing pools. We’ll advise you in advance on which retraction system is suitable – simply get in touch for a no-obligation enquiry.
