Every public pool operator knows the same frustrations. ACRATON® Dolphin solves them in one renovation.

Loose tiles

No more loose, rattling or missing tiles on floor or wall.

Sharp grouting

Discoloration

No more colour-patch repairs or blotchy surfaces after a few seasons.

Blue feet

No pigment release into the water, even under intensive use.

Dirty & slippery

No grimy joints or algae build-up — seamless surface, easy to clean.

Renovation cycles

No more 5-year refurbishment costs — proven lifespan of around 10 years. Actual lifespan ranges from 6 to 15 years, depending on UV load, chemical exposure and location.
