Smartop’s unique design is one that resolves the ever-occurring water-absorption problem that occurs in traditional vinyl covers. Smartop is manufactured with a specially formulated, Owens Corning closed-cell insulating foam that is water-resistant and moisture-free, enabling the cover to maintain its initial R-value throughout its ENTIRE lifespan. The facts show Smartop is on par with the top-rated vinyl cover in terms of heat retention, however, as time passes and the interior insulating foam in the vinyl cover becomes water-saturated, its insulating abilities significantly dropped below Smartop’s insulating properties.
For extremely cold climates where maximum heat retention is of the highest priority – SmartShield 800 is the answer! Applied to the underside of the Smartop, this dense, soft-to-the-touch, black material has proven to increase the already energy-conscious Smartop by more than 20%.
