HIDE’s Materials and Product Innovations

316L Stainless Steel: Marine-Grade Durability and Corrosion Resistance

HIDE’s use of 316L stainless steel—often termed “marine grade”—ensures exceptional durability in outdoor and pool environments. This premium alloy contains molybdenum, which enhances corrosion resistance, particularly against chlorides found in saltwater and chemically treated pools. Unlike standard stainless steel or aluminum, 316L withstands harsh conditions, maintaining its strength and appearance over decades.

How HIDE Stands Out Against Competitors

HIDE’s premium materials, superior warranties, and commitment to safety set it apart from competitors. Here’s how HIDE compares:

  • Superior Materials: Many competitors use standard plastics or lower-grade metals that degrade quickly. Traditional plastic skimmer lids can become brittle and discoloured over time, while metal grates often corrode or stand out against high-end finishes. In contrast, HIDE covers use 316L stainless steel, ensuring long-lasting durability and seamless aesthetics.
  • Unmatched Longevity & Warranty: While most access covers offer little to no warranty, HIDE backs its products with 10-year warranties on stainless steel components. This commitment to quality means fewer replacements, reduced long-term costs, and unmatched reliability.
  • Safety & Compliance: HIDE’s key-locked covers cannot be opened without the safety key, ensuring child safety and compliance with international pool safety standards. Many competing lids lack secure locking mechanisms, making them potential safety risks.
  • Seamless Aesthetics: Unlike plastic or metal lids that sit raised above the surface, HIDE covers are flush-fitted for a trip-free, integrated finish. They accept the same surface materials as their surroundings, allowing them to disappear into the deck or patio, maintaining a high-end, uninterrupted look.

HIDE’s focus on quality, safety, and design innovation has redefined industry standards, positioning its products as the preferred choice among architects, builders, and homeowners seeking durable, seamless exterior covers.

Industry Trends:

The Rise of High-Quality, Seamless Covers

As modern architecture and pool design evolve, there is growing demand for high-quality, long-lasting, and visually seamless covers. Homeowners, architects, and builders are prioritizing solutions that offer both functionality and aesthetics. Traditional white plastic skimmer lids and bulky metal grates are becoming outdated, as they detract from the overall design of high-end outdoor spaces.

HIDE’s approach aligns with these industry shifts by offering:

  • Seamless integration – HIDE covers disappear into the surrounding surface, maintaining design continuity.
  • Premium materials – Marine-grade stainless steel and advanced polymers ensure durability and safety.
  • Long-term reliability – With 10-year international warranty, HIDE provides solutions that outlast traditional skimmer lids and access covers.

This growing preference for flush-fitted, aesthetically pleasing exterior covers is redefining industry expectations. HIDE continues to lead the way, delivering innovative products that enhance both safety and style in modern outdoor spaces.

HIDE’s dedication to quality, safety, and innovation ensures that its products remain the benchmark for superior exterior access covers, meeting the demands of architects, contractors, and homeowners worldwide.
