When you install a pool with Prestige, you can rest easy knowing all the essential details are taken care of. While seldom added to backyard oasis moodboards, the inground pool liner is one of the most important aspects that will keep your new pool comfortable and in good condition.
A liner protects your pool from leaking, it makes your pool more comfortable and makes it easier to maintain. It’s an important aspect to consider when you’re building a pool that has to withstand the fluctuating weather conditions in Minnesota. Prestige Pools have been in business for more than 40 years, so you know we’ll install a pool liner that’ll stand tough through the years, keep you and your guests comfortable and look good enough to be added to the mood board.
What Is an In-ground Pool Liner?
An inground pool liner is the waterproof barrier that fits inside a pool’s frame, holding water in place. The right liner should be comfortable to the touch and attractive to the eye. When it comes to choosing the liner that’s right for you, you have options. You can choose different materials and looks to match your pool project’s overall aesthetic.
Types of In-ground Pool Liners
Choosing a liner for your pool can set the tone for your new oasis at first glance and make your guests more comfortable as they splash and play. A vinyl liner is the most popular material for liners as they are long-lasting, easy to maintain and affordable. Pool owners also have a lot of choices when it comes to customizing vinyl liners.
- Thickness: Also known as MIL (a unit of measurement equal to .0001 inch), the standard starts at 20 mil and may go up to 30 mil for premium liners.
- Texture: Not only is the touch and feel of a pool an important part of the swimming experience but the texture of an inground pool liner can affect its longevity, creating a durable surface in areas that get the most traffic.
- Border: Choose between bordered pools with tile accents along the edge or a borderless liner for a more minimalist look and feel.
Pool Liner Colors & Patterns
Choosing your vinyl color is not as straightforward a decision as you might first think. The color of your inground pool liner will look different once your pool is filled. Here is a breakdown of water aesthetics and which color liners create each look. You can get a better picture of these colors when you check out our pool gallery.
- Midnight Blue: Dark gray and slate liners
- Deep Sea: Cobalt and royal blue liners
- Beachy: Tans and turquoise blue liners
Choosing a liner pattern will help nail down your pool aesthetic. There’s a wide variety of choices such as tile patterns, a stone texture, a sun on water look or a speckled sandy look.

How Long Do Pool Liners Last?
The average lifespan of a well-maintained pool liner is 8 to 10 years. In Minnesota, pool liners are heavily affected by the freeze and thaw cycle in the off-season, as well as the intense UV rays throughout the summer. Pool liners with a 27 mil or thicker will weather the extremes of Minnesotan seasons better than standard grade liners.
