Advanced Pools, Inc. contractors in Memphis, TN explain pool construction types
This is the summer you are going to invest in a swimming pool for your family and you have questions! The swimming pool contractors from Advanced Pools, Inc. have the answers and in this article they offer some items you will want to consider before pool construction commences.
You will want to think about:
- The size of your pool
- Its construction material
- The depth
- Where you want it to sit
- The landscaping
- Any accessories you want installed
- Most importantly – who will build it for you
Inground swimming pools are constructed from:
- Concrete aka gunite
- Fiberglass
- Vinyl
How will you choose which pool building material to use? It will be based on personal preference and your budget.
A concrete swimming pool is an ideal option for a potential swimming pool owner who wants to completely customize his pool design. If you have an idea in mind for a unique pool shape, concrete is your best construction material to help you realize it. Concrete is the most expensive of the pool construction materials, takes the longest to install and will last the longest.
A fiberglass swimming pool is delivered to your home in one piece – much like a bathtub. They do come in myriad shapes and sizes, but are not as flexible design-wise as a concrete pool. You can add many accessories to a fiberglass swimming pool including custom jets, ceramic tiles and water features. The installation of a fiberglass swimming pool takes a shorter amount of time than a concrete pool. Because of the smooth surface of this pool construction material they require fewer chemicals and are less prone to algae growth than other pools.
A vinyl liner swimming pool can be configured into many shapes and styles. This material is also not prone to algae growth. It is a quicker build than concrete, but takes longer than fiberglass. With a vinyl liner pool you have the option of replacing the liner when it ages and with this you can give your pool a completely different look and feel.
After you’ve decided your budget and know which type of building material fits into it, you can talk with your pool contractor to kick the process off and you’ll be swimming in no time!
