Automatic Pool Covers in Lloret de Mar

We build and fit automatic slatted covers across the whole of Lloret de Mar: the old town and the seafront, Fenals and Santa Clotilde, Cala Banys and la Riera, and the hillside estates of Serra Brava, Roca Grossa, Turó de Lloret, Montgoda, Canyelles, Lloret Blau, Lloret Residencial and Papalús. Your 316L steel slatted cover is built to size at our factory in Torrijos and fitted by our Barcelona team, who cover the whole of Catalonia: the visit, the measuring and the fitting are all local, with a three-year warranty on structure, motor, slats and fitting.

Why Ingerclima in Lloret de Mar

2,862 pools in 48.7 km²: Lloret is the second town in Girona

Lloret de Mar is a small town, and a full one. Its municipal area covers 48.7 km² in the comarca of la Selva, with some nine kilometres of coast and close to twenty-seven square kilometres of woodland. The town centre sits five metres above sea level, right on the beach, and from there the ground climbs fast towards the slopes of the Massís de les Cadiretes. That explains where the pools are: the old town, the seafront and Fenals are flat or gently sloping next to the water, and almost everything else is hillside estates. Serra Brava, between Lloret and Tossa, falls away down the slope towards Cala Canyelles; Roca Grossa occupies a high hill beside the centre, and in Turó de Lloret the Iberian settlement of Puig de Castellet stands at around 195 metres.

The Land Registry records 2,862 uncovered pools in the municipality, 86 more than in 2022, when there were 2,776. That makes Lloret number 2 of the 221 municipalities in the province of Girona, behind Castelló d’Empúries (3,066). For an area of under fifty square kilometres that is almost sixty pools per square kilometre, and most of them are not on the flat: they are hanging off a hillside.

The housing stock has two halves that are nothing alike. In the centre and along the seafront it is flats and hotel beds that dominate: Lloret is the big tourist town of the southern Costa Brava. On the hillside estates it is the detached house with a plot, used for holidays and as a second home, very often with a sea view because of the height; Serra Brava is described without any fuss as an area of holiday houses and villas. And one figure from the population register explains the owner: 41,944 inhabitants at 1 January 2025 according to Idescat, of whom 16,138 hold a foreign nationality, 38.48%. In practice, houses that spend months shut up.

It is worth being clear about what we fit. All our covers are motorised: there is no manual or crank version. As standard they are operated beside the pool with a key switch and hold-to-run, with the pool in full view; the remote control and the phone are optional. The structure, the shaft, the brackets and the fixings are always AISI 316L stainless steel, the molybdenum grade made for marine air, and we never use aluminium. The slats float on the water: there are no rails or guides to clean. What rests on the coping are the legs and, if it has one, the housing, which is not a bench to sit on. And it has no alarm and no obstacle sensors: it detects nothing and it does not stop on its own. Each cover is built to measure and takes 4 to 5 weeks, plus one or two days of fitting, with a three-year warranty on structure, motor, slats and fitting, built to the French NF P90-308 standard. And who does what: we are the manufacturer, the cover is built to size at our factory in Torrijos (Toledo), and the people who come to your house to measure and who fit it are our Barcelona team, who cover the whole of Catalonia. We set the price ourselves and the three-year warranty is Ingerclima’s.

What changes on a pool in Lloret de Mar

Hillside, retaining wall and barely any coping

Outside the town centre and Fenals there is hardly a flat plot in Lloret. Serra Brava runs down the slope towards Cala Canyelles, Roca Grossa sits on a hill above the centre and in Turó de Lloret the Puig de Castellet marks around 195 metres. The plot is won with walls, the pool shell leans on a retaining wall and the coping stone ends up a hand’s width from the edge. The roller unit above the water has to fit in the width that is actually there, so we take the measurements ourselves before anything is cut.

Marine air: 316L and nothing else

Nine kilometres of coast, five blue flags — Lloret, Fenals, Sa Boadella, Santa Cristina and Canyelles — and a marina at Cala Canyelles: the breeze reaches the hillside villas loaded with salt, and ordinary fixings do not forgive that. The whole structure, the shaft, the brackets and the fittings are AISI 316L stainless steel, the molybdenum grade used in marine air. We never use aluminium.

Houses that spend months shut up

38.48% of Lloret’s registered population holds a foreign nationality — 16,138 people out of 41,944 — and the hillside estates are dominated by the holiday villa: houses standing empty for much of the year. With the cover closed, leaves and whatever the wind brings down off the hill stay on top of the slats and are rinsed off with a hose, and chemical consumption falls by around 35%.

Comarca and province

An honest word about access, which in Lloret counts for as much as the pool itself: the slats and the shaft are made to measure and travel in long pieces, and a lorry simply does not get into many of the streets on the hillside estates. The ramps up to Serra Brava or Roca Grossa, the lanes of Turó de Lloret and Montgoda and the streets of the old town all mean access has to be looked at before the quote. Before anything is agreed we check where the material can be unloaded and how it gets up to the pool. If your estate is not on the list, ask for a quote.

Lloret de Mar has 2,862 pools on the Land Registry

According to the Land Registry there are 2,862 uncovered pools registered in Lloret de Mar, 86 more than in 2022. That is the second-highest figure in the province of Girona, which totals 46,007 pools across 221 municipalities and has gained 3,840 pools since 2022: 9.1% more, the sharpest growth of the four Catalan provinces. Catalonia has 204,648 pools on record across 936 municipalities, with Barcelona in front (108,322), Girona second (46,007), Tarragona third (41,968) and Lleida further back (8,351).

That a municipality of 48.7 km² should hold almost three thousand pools is no accident. Lloret grew through the 1960s and 1970s on two models at once. One was the seafront model, of hotels and apartments, and it is the one that made the town famous: according to the municipal archive, in 1975 the town had 203 hotel establishments, 421 bars and restaurants and 53 nightclubs. The other, less visible from the beach, is a ring of hillside estates — Serra Brava, Roca Grossa, Montgoda, Turó de Lloret, Canyelles, Papalús — full of detached villas on their own plots high up the slope, looking out to sea; 34 estates were approved in the municipality over those two decades. It is that second model that fills the register.

A necessary word of warning about these figures. The Land Registry count under-records: it is a floor, not a ceiling, because some pools are never declared and others are entered late. Nor does it tell a private pool from a communal one, a hotel pool or a campsite pool: the 2,862 are every uncovered body of water in the municipality, not 2,862 houses with a pool, and in a town with Lloret’s hotel stock that distinction matters. And the figure does not go below municipality level: there is no breakdown by neighbourhood or by estate, so there is no saying how many there are in Serra Brava or in Fenals.

That said, the family pool on its own plot is the one a cover pays back fastest. Closed, it cuts evaporation by 70% to 80%, heat pump consumption drops by 50% to 60%, chemicals fall by around 35% and a solar polycarbonate slat adds 6 or 7 °C during the day at no running cost. The other reason is safety: closed, the slats form a continuous surface that keeps anyone out of the water and carries 100 kg to the NF P90-308 standard, a French standard, not a European one. That does not make it walkable or something to stand on. The province is covered in pool covers in Girona and the region in Catalonia.

Wind, salt and winter: what the Costa Brava demands of a cover

This is where we have to talk about wind, and talk honestly. The tramuntana is the wind that made this coast famous, but it is the prevailing wind of the Alt Empordà, at the far north of the province, and Lloret is at the far south. The only thing documented here is generic: that the tramuntana cools things down and that the garbí, the warm south-westerly, also shapes the weather. Nobody publishes windy days or gust figures for this municipality, and we are not going to invent one. One indirect figure does say something: the official description of the harbour at Cala Canyelles calls it well sheltered from the garbí and from the tramuntana, which means other directions come straight in. The practical conclusion is to assume it blows and design for that. The slats float on the water and, closed, form a continuous mat resting on the water itself, with no rails, no guides and no side profiles to go out of line. What bears the weight is the shaft on its AISI 316L stainless steel brackets and, where there is one, the housing.

The second thing is salt. Lloret has some nine kilometres of coastline and six beaches and coves: the town beach at Lloret, Fenals — coarse sand in a sheltered natural bay —, Sa Boadella, in an almost untouched setting, the semi-urban Santa Cristina, ringed by hills, Treumal, in a natural setting, and Cala Canyelles, with the municipality’s only marina. Five of them hold their Blue Flag year after year: Lloret, Fenals, Sa Boadella, Santa Cristina and Canyelles. That closeness to the sea, and the height of the estates that look straight at it, is the reason for AISI 316L in the frame, the shaft, the brackets and every fitting, and the reason we never use aluminium. Maintenance is next to nothing: rinse it with fresh water after several days of onshore wind.

The third thing is what lands in the pool. The municipality has some twenty-seven square kilometres of woodland and the estates sit inside it: around 94 hectares of the municipality fall within the Espai Natural Protegit del Massís de les Cadiretes, declared by Decree 328/1992 of 14 December, which approved the PEIN, and which is also a Natura 2000 SAC and SPA under code ES5120013. Living inside a Mediterranean woodland has a price: leaves, pine cones, pollen, pine needles and the soil that washes down the slope when a storm breaks. The town has no river, it drains through rieras, and the gradient speeds up the run-off. With the cover closed, all that dirt stays on top.

And the fourth is winter, which here is not the winter of the south-east coast: the season starts later and closes earlier, and the houses on the estates are shut for exactly those months. We are not going to give you average temperatures for Lloret, for a specific reason: there is no XEMA weather station inside the municipality — the nearest are already outside it, at Fogars de la Selva and Malgrat de Mar — and the figures doing the rounds are not corroborated by the Meteocat or by AEMET. We would rather not publish them. What we do know is that a closed cover cuts evaporation by 70% to 80% and keeps the pool covered and clean when nobody is swimming. That is not winterising. That is why the slat is chosen to suit: PVC in the sheltered pools inland, solar polycarbonate to stretch the swimming season at both ends, and transparent on hillside pools with a view. The roller units are set out in cover models. We do not make walkable covers, telescopic covers, enclosures, domes, winter debris covers or thermal blankets.

An existing pool or a shell under construction: the two ways of covering in Lloret

In Lloret we come across both. The first, and the more frequent, is the pool that already exists. The hillside estates went up in the 1960s and 1970s: there is a veteran stock of pools, with shapes that are sometimes not even rectangular and with the coping stone running tight against the wall. There we fit the roller unit above the water: the shaft is carried on the coping stone on its AISI 316L stainless steel brackets, in view or inside a housing, without breaking into the pool or touching the lining.

The second case is the shell under construction, and here the calendar rules. If the pool is still a drawing, the submerged roller is on the table: the shaft is hidden in a recess inside the shell itself and from the terrace you see nothing but water, which is what people want when the house is sold on its sea views from the hillside. The recess has to be allowed for in the design, with levels and a power supply, before the concrete is poured; once it is poured it stops being an option. In both cases we take the measurements ourselves, not over the phone or from a photograph: clear width of the coping, condition of the wall, where the electricity comes in and access for getting the material up. We build to size in Torrijos in 4 to 5 weeks and fit in 1 or 2 days, with a three-year warranty.

Frequently asked questions

What owners in Lloret de Mar ask us

Our pool in Serra Brava has been there for years. Can it be covered without building work?

Yes, and it is what we are asked for most in Lloret. On an existing pool we fit the roller unit above the water, carried on the coping stone on AISI 316L stainless steel brackets, in view or with a housing. The shell is not broken into, the lining is not touched and we use the power supply that is already there. It is the normal arrangement in Serra Brava, Roca Grossa or Turó de Lloret, where the pools date from the 1960s and 1970s and almost none of them is a catalogue size. We measure at your house and build to size: 4 to 5 weeks, plus 1 or 2 days of fitting.

Will it stand up to the salt and the wind on the Costa Brava?

For the salt there is AISI 316L, a stainless steel alloyed with molybdenum for marine environments. It is the material of the whole frame, the shaft, the brackets and every fitting, without exception, and we never use aluminium. The hillside estates look straight out to sea from the high ground of the municipality, so salt-laden air reaches almost every pool in the town. The wind is handled by the design: the slats float on the water and, closed, form a continuous mat on the water itself, with no rails and no side guides. Maintenance is a rinse with fresh water after several days of onshore wind.

We only come to Lloret a few weeks a year and the house is shut for half the season. How does that work?

It is the commonest case on the Lloret estates, where the second-home villa is the rule. We can measure with the house shut if someone you trust gives us access: a relative, the managing agent or whoever looks after the maintenance. We build in Torrijos in the meantime and set the fitting, 1 or 2 days, for a date when you are here. It is operated with a key switch and hold-to-run, so whoever looks after the house can open and close it, with one condition: you have to watch the pool, because there is no alarm and no obstacle sensors, and it does not stop on its own. Closed through those months, chemicals fall by around 35%.

We are building in Roca Grossa and we do not want to see anything on the coping stone. Is there an option?

Yes: the submerged roller. The shaft is hidden in a recess inside the shell itself and from the terrace you see nothing but water, which is what people want when the house is sold on its sea views from the hillside. The condition is the calendar: it has to be allowed for in the design, with levels and a power supply, before the concrete is poured. If the pool is already built it is solved with a visible shaft, in view or with a housing; we supply that housing ourselves and it is not a bench to sit on. Call us while the job is still on paper and we will talk to your builder.

Who comes to measure and to fit in Lloret? And is there a crank-handle cover, without a motor?

The visit, the measuring and the fitting are done by our Barcelona team, which covers the whole of Catalonia: local people, not someone passing through, and the same people who are there for the after-sales. The cover is built to size at our factory in Torrijos (Toledo), we set the price ourselves and the three-year warranty is Ingerclima’s. And there is no crank-handle version: they are all motorised. You choose the roller unit (above the water, with or without a housing, or submerged) and the slat (PVC, solar polycarbonate or transparent). We do not make winter debris covers, thermal blankets, walkable covers, telescopic covers, domes or enclosures either. Three-year warranty: structure, motor, slats and fitting.

For professionals

Architects, builders and developers in Lloret de Mar

If you are an architect, a builder or a developer putting up housing in Lloret de Mar, what matters is deciding the cover at project stage: the submerged shaft has to be allowed for in the shell before any concrete is poured, whereas a cover that only comes up at the end of the job is resolved with a visible shaft on the coping stone. On the sloping plots with retaining walls in Serra Brava, Roca Grossa or Turó de Lloret it is worth checking the clear width of the coping and the access early on, because the shaft travels in one piece. We manufacture in Torrijos (Toledo), with structure, shaft, brackets and fittings in AISI 316L stainless steel and built to the NF P90-308 standard, and the fitting is our Barcelona team’s, who cover the whole of Catalonia. We give you dimensions and a support detail for the drawing.

Pool heating

Lloret de Mar: a longer season without the running costs

The real question in Lloret is how many months you can swim, and the answer depends less on the sun than on what the water loses overnight. An uncovered pool gives back at night everything it gained by day, and on a coast with a proper winter that trims the season at both ends. With the cover closed overnight the season stretches, and with a heat pump it stretches a great deal further.

Before choosing equipment it is worth knowing this: evaporation is the single biggest route by which a pool loses heat, and an automatic slatted cover cuts it by between 70 % and 80 %. A heat pump’s consumption drops with one in place by between 50 % and 60 %. Without a cover, the heat pump works all night replacing what evaporates. The right order is to cover first and size the equipment afterwards.

The combination that works best on the Costa Brava is a solar polycarbonate cover — which adds 6 or 7 °C during the day without using any energy — with the equipment sized afterwards, once the losses are already under control. We heat pools too: heat pump, chiller and dehumidifier, as an official Calorex distributor. You will find it under pool heating.
