Are you dreaming of an in-ground pool for your backyard?
There are many details to consider when installing a pool. A solid
foundation, piping needed for the pools water system and electricity are
crucial decisions and details that need to be considered and worked out before
ground is broken for the installation of your new pool. After working out
the crucial details that affect the longevity of the pools structure it is time
to consider the dramatic affects that will make your pool area aesthetic and
not to mention protected.
Various materials can be used as the final layer over the gunite
structure of your pool. The interior material of the pool is what creates
the unique visual aspect of your pool. Not only can it offer color it
enhances the reflections around the pool area and enhances the benefits derived
from the interior. Another detail that is provided by the interior
material of your homes pool is texture. You need to choose a material
that adds a desirable amount of texture as well to help create a safe, slip
free pool interior.
Various pool materials need special care as well. When considering
the material to install within the interior of your pool take into
consideration not only the appealing nature of the materials but also the
maintenance, up keep, life span and cost of replacement. Below you will
find a detail of materials available to create the outdoor space you have been
dreaming of.
Tile: Using tile on the interior
structure of your pool is a popular option that can add a lot of flair to your
pool. If the exterior landscape of your pool area is simple this is a
great way to add some flair without adding a lot of maintenance to the
area. Tiles offer a longer lifespan than many gunite pool interiors but
can be timely to install. This is countered by the cost saving advantage
that comes from using tile for the interior surface of your pool.
Pebble: If you are looking for a natural
material feel to your pool are pebbles are the way to go. Picture in your
head the look of a lagoon, a waterfall with a picturesque waterfall. This
is the effect achieved when using a mixture of aggregates. Using pebbles
is a great option to avoid the use grout and the aggregate is highly durable
and resistant to stains as well as to the chemicals used in treating your
pool’s water.
Plaster: Plaster is the most
popular option in pool interiors. It is the most economical way to
achieve the luxury of owning an in-ground pool. When the plaster needs to
be replaced it is a simple manner in which experienced pool plasters can do without a lot of downtime. If you
choose to use plain white plaster in the pool the
water is beautifully enhanced by the natural color of the sky, sun and
surrounding landscape.
Vinyl: Vinyl is a low maintenance
option for an in-ground pool. Vinyl can be used to design basically any
shape or size pool you desire. They do not crack easily and have a long
life span due to the ability to flex and resist the affects of ground movement.
Fiberglass: Fiberglass is the priciest
option in interior pool materials. Fiberglass offers a smooth surface
that feels great on your feet. Because fiberglass is non-porous it is
resistant to algae growth. It is also said to be stronger than many other
types of pool finishes.
There is a lot to think about when designing and installing an
in-ground pool. Every decision you make will come with pros and
cons. You need to weigh them, over the cost of the project to build a
dream recreation area within your allotted budget and time frame.
