At Alukov, we specialize in providing top-notch pool enclosures crafted with various types of polycarbonate sheets to cater to your specific needs. Whether you opt for Twin Wall Polycarbonate or Compact Polycarbonate, each type offers unique advantages. Below, we outline the fundamental differences to help you make an informed decision tailored to your preferences and requirements. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to contact us.
Twin Wall Polycarbonate offers a distinctive combination of privacy and insulation benefits that are ideal for pool enclosures. The structure of Twin Wall Polycarbonate includes two layers with an air pocket in between, which not only enhances the material’s insulation properties but also contributes to its obscured appearance, making it an excellent choice for those seeking additional privacy. This design results in about 15% better thermal insulation compared to the compact version, which can be particularly beneficial in maintaining water temperature and reducing heating costs in cooler climates.
In addition to its functional benefits, Twin Wall Polycarbonate is versatile in terms of aesthetics and cost-effectiveness. It is available in thicknesses of 10mm and 8mm and can be purchased in translucent forms with options of clear or smoked finishes, allowing for customization according to aesthetic preferences. Economically, it stands out as a more budget-friendly option compared to Compact Polycarbonate, while still offering durability and strength, being 200 times stronger than glass.

Compact Polycarbonate is renowned for its crystal-clear clarity, resembling the transparency of glass, which makes it a preferred choice for those who do not want to compromise on the view. This type of polycarbonate is ideal for applications where visibility is a priority, allowing for unobstructed views of the swimming area and beyond. While it is more expensive than Twin Wall Polycarbonate, its superior visual clarity and high-quality finish justify the higher cost for many homeowners.
Despite being thinner than Twin Wall Polycarbonate, Compact Polycarbonate does not sacrifice on strength. It is available in 6mm thicknesses for CORSO models and 4mm and 3mm thicknesses for SPA models, catering to different structural and design needs. Like Twin Wall, Compact Polycarbonate also provides exceptional durability, being 200 times stronger than glass. Its transparency and strength combination make it not only aesthetically pleasing but also long-lasting, suitable for enduring various environmental conditions.

Please note that combinations of twin wall and compact polycarbonate are available for most of our enclosure models, offering you the flexibility to choose the best of both worlds according to your specific needs.
