Swimming Pool Design Wollongong
Admin • July 16, 2018
If you’re thinking about installing a pool on your property, then one of the first things you’ll want to decide on is the type of swimming pool to build. Davron engineering, based in Wollongong, will complete your swimming pools design
and below have put together some important considerations.
You have three main choices a custom-designed concrete pool, a prefabricated fibreglass pool or a vinyl liner pool.
In the Illawarra, Sutherland and Southern Highlands when you think ‘pool’ you think ‘lifestyle’.
The trend in 2017 is carefully planned outdoor spaces with the acknowledgement that houses are also an investment so a swimming pool needs to add value to your home.
Because Concrete Pools can be custom designed pools
to fit any space or size, concrete Swimming Pools are the most common type of swimming pool. In fact, Concrete swimming pools represent 60% of pools being built today and are an asset when the owner looks to sell the home.
With fibreglass swimming pool designs you are limited to the mould designs available and the material for a vinyl liner swimming pool is a polymer which will need to be replaced as it breaks down over time, therefore will not add value to your home.
Facts about concrete pools
- Poured concrete offers more design flexibility than any other type of pool construction
- Since concrete pools are constructed onsite from a substance that is poured into forms, then hardens, they can be any size and shape.
- There are many options for the interior finish of concrete pools, from paint to tile to a pebbled surface.
- Concrete pools are the usual choice for those that require a differently shaped pool to the options within a fibreglass mould or for families that prefer a large pool with curved edges, for example, a circular or oval pool that’s bigger than the standard fibreglass models.
- The structure of a well-engineered, well-built concrete pool can last almost indefinitely if the pool is on a stable site.
- For some projects, a concrete pool is a best and only choice
You have more swimming pool design
options with a concrete pool such as incorporating a sloping or a tiered floor, or a deep floor that allows for diving.
Other visual aspects such as decorative tiling are suitable for a concrete pool only.
