A swimming pool liner is fabricated using multiple sheets of vinyl seamed together. The material is specifically designed and hand-tailored to cover the floors and walls. While liners can be used decoratively, they also have important functional purposes.

First, the pool liner creates a pleasing, silky-smooth texture, preventing painful cuts or scrapes. Second, it retains water and prevents leakage that could seriously damage the pool or surrounding area. Available in a huge variety of colors and patterns, liners also define the overall look of the pool. For all of these reasons — both aesthetic and practical — a quality liner is an absolute must for both inground and above-ground pools.

With proper maintenance, pool liners are durable products that have an average lifespan of up to 10 years. The lifespan of your pool liner depends on the cleaning chemicals you use, how frequently you clean the pool, the amount of direct sunlight exposure, liner thickness, and other factors.

Certain products are tougher and more damage-resistant than others, ideal for pools that receive heavy use or must withstand harsh climates. At Latham, all of our pool liners are engineered for superior performance and come backed by a lifetime transferable warranty, ensuring satisfaction year after year.
