USA: Swimming Pool Liners: Swimming Pool Liner Manufacturers
ABOUT SWIMMING POOL LINERS
Swimming pool liners are custom made from vinyl, in thicknesses ranging from 15mil to 28mil. The thicker the swimming pool liner the greater the protection from damage and leaks. Swimming pool liners are available in solid color, or with patterned edgings. Swimming pool liners are cut using computer-controlled cutters, and the seams are welded using radio frequency welders. It is not advisable to drain a vinyl liner pool constructed with a swimming pool liner, as this can cause the pool liner to shrink on re-filling and become hard and brittle.

Warranties for vinyl pool liners may become void if the pool is drained. If it is necessary to patch a hole or puncture, this can be done without draining the pool, as most patch kits are designed to work under water. Patches should be cut as circles, with no sharp corners or edges which could lead to lifting.
We describe below leading swimming pool liner manufacturers. These have comprehensive websites, with information on all aspects of swimming pool liners, including online catalogs, materials and colors for pool liners, and care and maintenance of pool liners.
