# Hexagonal cover

A modular self-ballasting hexagonal floating cover element, typically HDPE, tessellated across a water surface to reduce evaporation, algae, odor, and heat loss without anchors.

A **hexagonal cover** is the modular floating-cover format EuroCover supplies into EU
industrial water sites for evaporation, algae, and odor control. The category-leading product
in the EuroCover catalog is AWTT's [Hexprotect® AQUA](/products/hexprotect-aqua), distributed
across the EU; the EuroCover-tooled [Hexofloat®](/products/hexofloat) is the AWTT
design-approved alternative for EU-origin or short-lead-time projects.
