The choice of coating is just one of the aspects to consider when building a swimming pool

Building a swimming pool does not just mean diving into fresh water, but also creating an oasis of relaxation and beauty that harmonises with the aesthetics of your garden. The choice of covering plays a fundamental role in this sense.

Here is a comparison between plaster, tiles and PVC.

Plaster

Pros:

• Low cost: plaster is the cheapest solution;
• Flexibility: allows you to create curves and sinuous shapes;
• Waterproofing: if correctly applied, it guarantees an excellent seal;
• Customization: available in a wide variety of colors and finishes.

Cons:

• Maintenance: requires constant care to maintain its appearance and waterproofness;
• Possible cracking: with time and wear, cracks may appear;
• Sensitivity to chemicals: requires treatment with specific products to resist chlorine and other chemicals used for water treatment.

Tiles

Pros:

• Durability: the tiles are extremely resistant and long-lasting;
• Wide choice: available in an infinite number of colours, shapes, materials and textures;
• Easy cleaning: the smooth surface makes cleaning and removing dirt easier;
• Aesthetic effect: they create an elegant and refined look.

Cons:

• High cost: the price is higher than plaster;
• Complex installation: installation requires specific skills and longer processing times;
• Delicate joints: the joints between the tiles require regular maintenance to avoid mold and infiltration;
• Risk of chipping: in the event of impacts, the tiles can chip or break.

PVC

Pros:

• Guaranteed waterproofness: impeccable water tightness;
• Ease of installation: installation is quick and does not require specific skills;
• Minimal maintenance: does not require special treatments;
• Flexibility: adapts to any shape and size of pool;
• Competitive cost: the price is generally more affordable than tiles.
