Recognised by the 2024 Good Design Awards for Excellence, V-LOCK® lids pair robust performance with refined aesthetics, enhancing both the look and safety of any pool environment.

Manufactured from a reinforced, UV-resistant engineering polymer, V-LOCK® lids offer outstanding strength, rigidity, and long-term weatherability – without the corrosion or tea staining commonly seen in stainless steel lids. Because the V-LOCK® polymer is non‑conductive, it removes the need for electrical bonding, simplifying installation and compliance.

V-LOCK’s unique locking mechanism provides secure, concealed access to skimmers and other deck equipment, meeting Australian Safety Standard AS1926.3 across all inlay materials and thicknesses. Its straightforward, on-site installation and broad model range integrate effortlessly with tile, stone, timber, paver and poured concrete finishes. The result is a flush‑fit, seamless lid that blends into the surrounding deck for a refined, premium look on any pool.

Summer Stone — Introducing a Fresh, Warm‑Toned Colour Option

To meet increasing demand for warmer, brighter pool deck finishes, AQUEA is introducing a new
V-LOCK® colour option: Summer Stone. Designed to complement natural, sun‑washed palettes, such as travertine, limestone, and warm porcelain inlays – Summer Stone delivers a soft, contemporary aesthetic suitable for a wide range of pool designs.

For projects with neutral or cooler toned finishes, AQUEA’s classic Cement Grey is a versatile and popular choice – offering a crisp, timeless finish.

Summer Stone will be available from early June 2026 across all single‑key V-LOCK® models suited to 10–32 mm inlays, including the popular VS COMBO kits for fibreglass pools.
