Skimmer Lids

The HIDE and QUAD series of inlay trays for skimmer box lids and drain covers are revolutionizing landscape design by seamlessly blending unsightly covers and drains into their surroundings.

This seamless integration is achieved using HIDE or QUAD lids that can be matched with surrounding materials for a cohesive look.

HIDE skimmer lids and access covers are available as kits. The inlay for these kits can be filled on-site by the pool builder or tiler.

Alternatively, QUAD skimmer lids offer customization options, allowing them to be pre-filled with a material of your choosing.

Both HIDE and QUAD options are expertly designed to avoid damage like chipping or breaking in stone or tiled areas. They are easy to install on-site and ensure a flush, luxurious finish that enhances the overall aesthetic of your landscaping project, be it a pool, patio, or outdoor area. This approach allows for a sophisticated and integrated finish, seamlessly blending utility and design.

We have built a pool with Environ 2 times now.

Each time they have delivered a high quality finish in a highly professional manner. Environ and their trades were prompt and easy to deal with.

Our finished pool looks beautiful and the colour of the water is magnificent. It is where we will be spending all of this coming summer.

All the tradies worked as a team effectively and responsibly. The advice and response that I received at each stage is adequate and timely.

The team communicates clearly especially the manager Mark and operational officer Jenessa.

Pool shop owner Tim is also very helpful and look forward to using their services going forward.

“You built this for us four years ago and we still just love it.”

Just an after note on our pool. You built this for us four years ago and we still just love it. You built exactly what we wanted. We have just sold the house and will miss the pool so much.

Our new house has a fibreglass pool and as soon as we can, we want to remove it and get you to build the same one as we had. The photos we include do not do it justice. Once again was a pleasure working with you and your team.

“…it was a pleasure to deal with someone as honest, frank, understanding and responsive.”

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you both for your assistance and commitment to us from the initial quote stage with Peter and the construction stage with Mark.

I found dealing with Peter from the moment he arrived at the premises to quote on the project and through to the stage we made the commitment to run with Environ Pools, it was a pleasure to deal with someone as honest, frank, understanding and responsive. I would like to mention it was Peter’s honesty, commitment and follow up that won the project for Environ Pools.

Also, Mark was excellent in his role as project organiser. He also was honest and committed in all stages. Last but not least I would like to mention the trades people that Environ have on their books are reliable with the correct attitude which should endeavour an excellent word of mouth for further projects. I would have no hesitation in recommending Environ Pools.

“We want to thank you for your great service and look forward to many years of enjoyment in our lovely pool.”

The end result is a perfect pool for our family, and even though the kids especially love it, mum and dad are not far behind.

“We know we made the right choice.”

We researched pool builders extensively and decided on Environ, from plan to build and first swim, we know we made the right choice.

“It is refreshing to have someone that just sees something that needs to be done and does it!”

I just wanted to put a good word forward for Bob, our Supervisor. Thanks for allocating him to our job. It is refreshing to have someone that just sees something that needs to be done and does it! Some of the finer things only come to light at certain stages of the project and Bob just deals with it – no problems, no delays. Very happy, thanks again.

WADE

“Fantastic – always happy to refer people to Environ Pools.”

We were exceptionally happy with the quality and professionalism we had when our pool was built. Word of mouth is always a good thing. Hopefully I will send a few more your way. Thanks again.

RUSSELL

“Everyone was so professional, the guys even cleaned up after themselves.”

Would highly recommend Environ Pools, right from the beginning with the first meeting with Peter, everything was clearly explained and hassle free. Everyone involved on the pool site was great. The dig went very smoothly, which I must admit was a little stressed over, but really didn’t have to be. Everyone was so professional, the guys even cleaned up after themselves. Bob, our supervisor, was courteous and a pleasure to deal with. We are now enjoying the summer swimming in our beautiful pool. Would definitely use Environ Pools again.

“We have been very happy with the service and knowledge your team has provided throughout the entire process.”

As the construction of our pool is almost finalised, we wish to thank Peter, Matt, Mark and yourself. We have been very happy with the service and knowledge your team has provided throughout the entire process. As such we had no hesitation in recommending Environ to our family and their friends, two of which have chosen to enlist you to build their pools as well. At times it seemed we had an endless list of questions, yet Matt and Mark were always willing to answer our calls to provide information and advice, and rectify any concerns. Once again, much appreciation to you and the Environ Team.
