Keeping Up with Swimming Pool Material Innovation, Part 1

Last updated on January 6, 2023 by Sozo Staff Leave a Comment

You don’t have to settle for using your parents’ pool if you’re ready to install your own brand-new pool. Thanks to the new construction materials that are accessible in the swimming pool sector, your pool can feature an entirely new style and feel! Each type of pool material has advantages and disadvantages, as you might think, and the best option for you will ultimately depend on a number of criteria, such as how often you plan to use the pool, how committed you are to pool upkeep, your personal preferences, and your budget.

But first, we’ll quickly review conventional pool materials so we may make some useful comparisons before we look at the more innovative possibilities.

Concrete

Concrete and fiberglass are dependable building materials for pools. An advantage of using concrete is that it makes it easy to incorporate unique architectural elements like steps, fountains, and more. Concrete can accommodate any type of tile, which adds another level of customization. Given that everything must be done on site, this kind of versatility naturally also carries a larger price tag and lengthier building period. But if you have plenty of time and money, concrete is without a doubt still the best option.

Fiberglass

Fiberglass is not necessarily a poor choice just because concrete is a fantastic option. Concrete pools are more expensive, while fiberglass pools may be erected more rapidly. They also offer some customizing options. While the forms and possibilities available to you are limited, you aren’t necessarily restricted to a rectangular shape when it comes to fiberglass. Additionally, there may be built-in features like chairs. Of course, you may always incorporate your individual style into the design of the area around your pool.

Aluminum

Aluminum is a useful and rust-resistant metal that has a wide range of applications, from foil sheets to the can that holds your favorite bubbly beverage. Despite being on the pricey side, aluminum pools provide a relatively durable and distinctive pool option. However, since the walls are attached with real rivets, sealing is necessary. Problems may arise if the sealing is not done properly. Unappealing surface pitting can happen even with proper sealing.

Steel

Similar to aluminum, stainless steel is a rust-free, lightweight metal choice that has a sleek, contemporary appearance. In addition to being more affordable and hygienic than aluminum, it is also simple to maintain. Using 3D modeling software and laser machining, a stainless steel pool may be completely personalized. The major drawback of using stainless steel for pool construction is that it can corrode with use, which makes it far from the most cost-effective choice over time.

We’ll talk about a few additional materials that have lately been used as possibilities for swimming pool construction in our next post.
