Traditionally, concrete was used for pools. Not only is concrete rather unattractive, but it is also expensive and unfortunately it tends to heat up quickly in the sun. Remember those days of running barefoot across the concrete as quick as possible, risking serious injury, just to dunk your feet into the soothing water and feeling them ache for the rest of the day? Memories like this are what convinced pool manufacturers to look for a different type of material to use for pools.
Pool paving has become the latest trend since it uses a type of brick that is relatively inexpensive, incredibly attractive, and does not heat up in the sun. Although it will warm up, it will not burn or blister your feet, and will not bother even the most sensitive skin. It is also available in a wide variety of colors, shapes, sizes, and even designs, so there is something for everyone.
What Are Some Of The Other Perks Of Pool Paving?
Pool paving is incredibly cost effective, aesthetic, and will not burn your feet. However, there are other perks to choosing this over traditional concrete.
Pool paving does not crack. Traditional concrete will crack and break apart over time.
It is safer for swimmers. Not only will you not have to worry about cracks to trip over, but it provides an excellent grip for those of us who want to run around barefoot.
It is heavily coated with a sealant to prevent chemicals from entering the porous surface. Therefore, you will see less deterioration over time and little to no algae or bacteria buildup.
Rather than deciding what color you want your concrete, you can choose the design and colors that you want for your tiles. These tiles can be arranged in any shape and color, so you have way more options when it comes to improving the overall look and feel of your pool.
