We have already discussed the PVC liner in another article, describing its characteristics, colors, new trends and technological innovations.
But PVC is not the only type of possible cladding for a pool.
If you want something special, original or sophisticated and chic, there are other solutions that you can take.
Let's see them together.
MARBLE OR STONE CLADDING
This type of cladding is often chosen to harmonize the pool with the surrounding landscape context or when it is desired to favor the use of local materials.
The use of stone or even marble for the pool covering also allows the creation of a visual continuum between the pool, the rim and the solarium, a choice of great aesthetic effect for those who love harmony in the overall view.
FEATURES:
- Minimum rate of water absorption
- Possibility of using the same material also for board and solarium
- Elegant and natural appearance of the tub
- Finishing of value and therefore more expensive than traditional ones
PAINTINGS - RESINS - MIXTURES
A type of solution increasingly in vogue that of resins and paints, because of the appearance and natural perception of these elements.
The paints used for the pool are special and contain resins that can counteract wear and resist contact with the treated water.
The real resins instead can be used both as waterproofing and as a finish. The colors are unique and very natural, obtained with special pigments added during processing.
Finally, it is possible to use special mixtures of pebbles and quartz mixed with cement, resin and special additives which are applied to the walls of the tank like a real plaster which, once dried, offers a good resistance to abrasions and stains.
FEATURES:
- Resistance to wear and to physical and chemical agents
- Impermeability: the resin does not allow the absorption of water
- Hygiene and ease of cleaning since the surface has no cracks
- Infinite possibilities of colors and finishes: opaque, glossy, anti-slip in a more or less marked way, gradations and shades of various types, etc.
MOSAIC CLADDING
Usually it is a type of luxury coating and that is why it is the most expensive, also because of the materials used.
The application of the mosaic requires the use of large mesh sheets on which the small tiles are laid, which requires precision manual work but which, once completed, gives the tub an impactful and long-lasting aesthetic duration over time.
FEATURES:
- Resistant to chemical treatments, abrasions and scratches
- Easy to clean and resistant to aging
- High level of impermeability
- Beautiful chromatic compositions
CERAMIC CLADDING
This type of coating is durable and resistant as it has properties that make it particularly strong against external agents, bumps, scratches and corrosion. It is also immune to algae and micro-organisms.
The laying of the tiles, available in various colors and formats, can be realized following geometric shapes and designs of various kinds, naturally influencing the price of the installation.
FEATURES:
- Color unchanged over time
- Excellent resistance to cleaning chemicals
- Minimum rate of water absorption
- They can also be used for the edge and paving of the solarium
THERE ARE SOME "BUTS"...
So there are many types of pool lining. Which to choose and how to choose depends not only on the client's request but also on a careful evaluation and specialized advice that only a true professional can give you, thanks to the long experience, the in-depth knowledge of the technical innovations in the sector, the landscape context and much more .
Each of these coatings in fact also has "fragility" or "against" that is good to know BEFORE making a final choice.
So if you want a specialized advice on the type of coating that you would like to adopt for your pool, know if it may be suitable for your expectations and if you should choose it, contact me immediately via form or by calling.
And may the force be with you!
