In a sea of black bathing suits, it’s the polka dot bikini or fire truck red speedo that stands out from the crowd. In opposite fashion, the frumpy fit of traditional weatherproof cover options has been limiting pool and spa aesthetics for years. With their bulky designs and hard-to-open covers, they often stand out for all the wrong reasons.

One savvy way to upgrade any pool panel, patio, lanai or outdoor kitchen is to install new Low-Profile Expandable In-Use Weatherproof Covers by Intermatic.

Unlike traditional weatherproof covers, our low-profile in-use covers include an expandable front window that can be collapsed to save space when not in use, making them the best solution on the market that fits directly onto the pool panel. This improves home aesthetics while delivering dependable, code-compliant protection in a range of pool and spa applications.

Where Should I Install a Low-Profile In-Use Cover?

While low-profile in-use covers are a great fit in any outdoor application, they’re particularly useful around the pool and in backyard spaces.

Most homeowners don’t need to leave their outdoor electronic appliances and devices, such as audio equipment, fans and blenders, plugged in for days at a time, so having the ability to collapse the cover when it’s not in use is a major plus. Whether bringing out an air compressor to inflate a new batch of pool toys or a flat-screen TV to catch the big game, our latest solution offers a discreet alternative with a sleek, modern look.

Common applications for low-profile in-use covers include:

• Pool panels
• Pool pads and slabs
• Lanais
• Outdoor kitchens
• Patios and pool decks
• Gazebos
