Has your liner run its course? After 10 to 15 years, your pool liner is fading, wrinkling and losing its watertightness. Astro Piscines can replace your old liner with a durable solution: reinforced PVC.
While the classic liner (prefabricated pocket) has long been the norm, modern renovation now favors reinforced PVC. This is the technical solution we recommend for masonry pools and modular structures.

| Thickness | 0.75 mm (thin) | 1.5 mm to 2 mm (reinforced) |

| Resistance | Sensitive to scratches and UV | High resistance (chlorine, UV, shock) |
| Temperature | Limited to 28°C | Supports up to 32°C (Ideal for heat pumps) |
| Installation | Suspended pocket | On-site welding (custom-made) |
We work on :
– ✅ Reinforced concrete or breeze-block pools
– ✅ Lost casing pools (Cofreco, polystyrene)
– ✅ Leaking tiled basins
– ❌ Polyester shell pools
Note: We do not install reinforced PVC on polyester shell pools.
To guarantee decades of trouble-free waterproofing, we work exclusively with the world leader in reinforced membranes.

We offer a wide range of decors to personalize your water:
Changing siding is more than just a formality; it’s a technical operation that demands precision. Unlike new construction, renovation involves adapting to existing conditions.
Don’t leave waterproofing to chance. Rely on the experience of Astro Piscines SA, active since 1974 in Geneva and Vaud.
When should I plan to change my liner?
Usually every 10 to 15 years. However, if you notice that the liner is becoming “brittle”, that it is wrinkling abnormally or that the water line is tearing, don’t wait for a leak. A preventive intervention costs less than repairing a flooded structure.
How much does it cost to install reinforced PVC?
The price is calculated per m² and includes the supply of membrane, felt, fasteners and welding labor. It’s a higher investment than a simple liner, but it pays for itself in doubled life. Contact us with your dimensions for a precise quotation.
Can the color of the water be changed during renovation?
Absolutely! That’s the great advantage of renovation. Switch from a standard blue liner to Grey, Sand or White wired PVC to give your garden a “lagoon” or “contemporary” look.
Do you carry out partial repairs?
Yes, if your reinforced PVC has suffered an accidental tear, but the assembly is still sound, we can carry out a repair weld (hot patch) to extend its life.
