OgenFlex pool liners

Here you will find OgenFlex liner material supplied on the roll, in a 25 m length and a 1.65 m working width. These are the sheets that give a pool its watertight surface and its colour, and they are chosen as much for the look of the finished water as for the practicalities of fitting. The range currently covers three Type 3D finishes: a plain blue, a Premium Matrix Silver and a Premium Stone Flex Concrete.

What the range covers

All three products share the same format, which makes planning straightforward. You are ordering by the roll rather than by the square metre, and every roll in the range has the same dimensions, so the only real decision is the finish and the number of rolls.

• Ogenflex Pool Liner 25M Type 3D Blue 1.65M — the classic plain blue finish, the colour most people picture when they think of a swimming pool.
• Ogenflex Pool Liner 25M Type 3D Premium Matrix Silver 1.65M — a lighter, silver-toned surface from the Premium selection, which tends to read as a brighter, paler water colour.
• Ogenflex Pool Liner 25M Type 3D Premium Stone Flex Concrete 1.65M — a concrete-look finish for pools where a natural, mineral appearance is wanted instead of a flat colour.

Because the width is fixed at 1.65 m, liners of this type are laid as a series of strips that are joined on site, rather than as a single factory-made bag. That is what allows them to follow free-form shapes, steps, benches and beach entries.

Choosing a finish

Water colour is the result of the liner surface, the depth of the pool, the surroundings and the light, so the same sheet can look noticeably different in two gardens. A few points worth weighing up before you commit to a full order:

• Perceived water tone — blue surfaces give the most conventional pool look, while silver and grey tones generally produce a paler, more lagoon-like effect.
• Visible dirt and leaves — darker and patterned surfaces hide debris and fine dust better than very pale ones; plain finishes make it easier to spot what is on the floor.
• Surroundings — stone and concrete looks sit naturally alongside natural stone copings, timber decking and modern rendered walls.
• Continuity — if you are repairing or extending an existing pool, order the same finish you already have, as batches and designs are not always interchangeable in appearance.

If the decision is close, it is always worth seeing the material in daylight and under water rather than judging from a photograph on a screen.

Working out how many rolls you need

Measure the pool before ordering, not after. Take the length and the width at the widest points, then the depth at the shallow and deep ends, and note anything that interrupts a flat surface: Roman steps, corner seats, ladders, skimmer openings, main drains and light niches all consume extra material.

A practical approach is to sketch the pool, divide the floor and walls into strips 1.65 m wide, and count how many strip-lengths you need, adding an allowance for overlaps at every joint and for trimming at the top edge. Awkward shapes, radiused corners and sloped floors use more material than a plain rectangle of the same surface area. Ordering a small surplus of the same finish is sensible, both for the fitting itself and for any later repair patch.

Fitting and looking after the liner

Material of this kind is normally installed by a trained fitter using hot-air welding equipment, on a prepared, clean and smooth substrate. The quality of the shell preparation matters as much as the sheet itself, since any grit, sharp edge or damp pocket left underneath will eventually show through or shorten the life of the surface.

Once the pool is in service, the main things that protect a liner are balanced water, sensible chlorine levels and avoiding concentrated chemical contact with the surface. Never tip undissolved granules or tablets directly onto the floor, keep an eye on the waterline where oils and dust collect, and clean with soft tools rather than abrasive pads. Winterising correctly, so the sheet is not left under excessive strain or in contact with ice, also helps it last.

Here we list the OgenFlex liner rolls in their 25 m by 1.65 m format, covering the Type 3D blue and the Premium Matrix Silver and Stone Flex Concrete finishes, so you can order either a complete pool’s worth of material or a single roll for an extension or repair.

Alongside the liners you will find the rest of the parts a pool needs in day-to-day service — skimmers, inlets, pumps, filters, seals and maintenance equipment — which makes it simpler to bring one order together when a pool is being renovated rather than sourcing each item separately.
