Would you like to equip your existing pool with an automatic cover without undertaking major work? The above-ground cover is the ideal solution. Installed at the end of the pool, they are quick to install and offer the same advantages as a submerged cover: safety, energy savings and ease of use.
At Astro Piscines, we offer the complete range of AquaTop above-ground pool covers manufactured by T&A: Top One, Nova Top and Top Comfort. From compact models to systems for large pools, you’ll find the right solution for your project and your budget.
Discover our models, their features and our prices from 5’200 CHF including installation.
Why choose an above-ground cover for your pool?
The above-ground pool cover (or “bench” cover) is particularly suited to homeowners who want to modernize their pool without turning it into a building site.
Quick installation, no masonry work required
Unlike a submerged cover, which requires a roll-up pit, an above-ground cover is installed directly on your pool deck. No earthworks, no modifications to the pool. Installation by our technicians takes just one day.
An affordable budget from CHF 5,200
Above-ground shutters generally cost 30% to 50% less than submerged systems. The fact that no masonry work is required reduces the bill considerably. You benefit from the same safety and energy-saving features at a lower cost.
Safety compliant with NF P90-308 standard
All AquaTop above-ground shutters comply with safety standard NF P90-308. Fitted with stainless steel safety buckles, they prevent accidental falls into the pool when closed.
A sleek design that blends in with your terrace
Far from the unsightly rollers of yesteryear, AquaTop above-ground shutters boast a contemporary design. With imitation wood composite cladding (Polywood Oak or Graphite), natural IPE finish or White/Anthracite tint, the box becomes a decorative element that blends into your environment.

Which slats for your above-ground shutter?
AquaTop above-ground shutters use the same blade ranges as the immersed models: Origin and Quadro. However, certain restrictions apply depending on the model.
| Blades range | Top One | Top Comfort | Nova Top Light | Nova Top + |
| Origin PVC opaque | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Origin PC (Transparent/Solar/Alu) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Quadro PC solar | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Premium PC solar | ❌ | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ |
💡 Tip: For standard outdoor use, Origin PVC opaque or Origin Polycarbonate blades offer the best value for money. Quadro blades are recommended if you want to maximize solar gain and aesthetics.
Above-ground or underwater shutter: how to choose?
| Criteria | Above-ground shutter | Underwater shutter |
| Installation | No work, 1 day | Masonry work |
| Existing pool | ✅ Ideal | Possible (Reno Line) |
| New pool | ✅ Possible | ✅ Ideal |
| Aesthetics | Visible box (design) | Invisible under water |
| Budget | ★★☆☆☆ from CHF 5’200 | ★★★★☆ from CHF 10’000 |
| Large pools (>5m wide) | Top Comfort ✅ | ✅ All models |
In short: the above-ground cover is the rational choice for an existing pool or a controlled budget. The submerged cover is preferred for new constructions where “invisible” aesthetics are paramount.
