Choosing the pool that is right for you |
(NC)—Building a backyard pool is an investment for the future. It raises property value, turns your backyard into a vacation destination and gives family members a place to exercise, relax and entertain together. Residential inground pools can be divided into three different construction categories: vinyl, concrete and fiberglass, but how do you choose which type is best for your yard?
Any pool is a good pool if installed by an experienced and well-trained professional, but no matter what type of pool you choose, regular cleaning, maintenance and care is necessary to ensure long and trouble-free enjoyment.
Vinyl-lined pools are the most popular type of inground swimming pool in Canada. They are fully customizable in pool shape and size to suit any backyard. The liners are available in dozens of colours and pattern combinations and are well known for an easy-to-maintain and long-lasting surface.
Creativity is the hallmark of the concrete pool as each one is a custom-built structure that will last a lifetime. Builders can fulfill the homeowner's most challenging dreams when creating designs and can accent them with glass or ceramic tile, plaster or paint.
One-piece pools are made of fiberglass resins and finished with a non-porous surface similar to that used on boats. Popular for their simplicity of construction, these pools are fabricated in a factory and shipped ready for installation. Although limited to available sizes and shapes, these pools can also be customized with a variety of colours, finishes and other options and work well in all soil conditions.
