In recent years, the construction of a private swimming pool has been simplified enough, giving the choice to many people to enjoy the pleasures of water without needing a very large wallet. Besides, it is one of the joys that make us eliminate daily stress and it is a reason to gather the family with friends!
Today, there are many solutions that adapt to almost all types of land and budget. Clearly, a minimum plot area of 100sq.m. is needed and for an average pool solution a budget of between 8,000 and 20,000€.
But the pool project is an investment for the family as well as for the property, it needs organized long-term thinking, just as it is required to buy a home.
Starting out, the key question is: Should we prefer a classic-built pool or a prefabricated one?
Let's see the differences.
Classic construction
The solution of the construction of a classic swimming pool with reinforced concrete is for many years the most widespread way of building a swimming pool. This solution provides unlimited features of shape, dimensions, depth and combines all types of swimming pool such as: overflow (side or perimeter) and skimmer. At the end of the surface – optical part – any material can be used for the configuration. Some examples are ceramic material, tiles, mosaic, or even reinforced PVC film.
1.5mm modern reinforced PVC film in addition to uniform smooth coating, offers waterproofing capability at no additional cost in many fashionable colors.
By deciding to build a concrete pool, you will have exactly the project you have in mind. Comparing it with any other type of pool construction, these require more construction time due to many different phases in construction. Also, these are usually implemented by different workshops and require more investment from the owner.
Internationally, concrete pools are considered the most quality constructions when the right way of construction is applied. They ensure greater durability in time and maintenance.
Prefabricated swimming pool
As we have seen above, the construction of a swimming pool in the traditional way of reinforced concrete is more time-consuming, costly, and complex, because of the work it involves. In recent years an effort has been made to simplify and standardize the construction of a swimming pool. This is how the technology of prefabrication was developed in this area.
Today, there is the possibility of fast, quality and more economical construction, using the method of Prefabrication.
In prefabrication, the construction of the bottom is done by casting reinforced concrete. The final surface material is reinforced PVC film. The rest of the construction consists of standard panels and walls of aluminum or stainless steel.
The most important element that supports the prefabrication is the possibility of carrying out the work with the issuance of a Small Scale License which benefits since it is significantly more economical and faster than the corresponding permit needed to build a swimming pool with reinforced concrete.
The whole pool construction project is quite enthusiastic, it must be designed and co-decided by all family members, based on the dreams they have made for the ideal pool. Decisions also include the choice of ladder, length, depth, and surrounding space.
