When you want to build a swimming pool, you have to know how to make the right choices. Discover the answers to your questions in our latest article.
Shell pool
The shell pool is a block pool. It is perfect for people who do not want too much work. It is made up of a shell made of very resistant plastic (resin, polyester, acrylic, etc.) that is buried in the garden.
The shell pool has many advantages. To begin with, it is very resistant, polyester is almost twenty times more resistant than concrete. The monobloc also reduces the risk of leaks because its waterproofing is very efficient. It therefore has a longer life than an above-ground or kit pool. In addition, it is developing from year to year. There is a wide choice of shapes (round, rectangular, kidney-shaped, etc.) and configurations (with or without submerged shutter, mini-pool, etc.) on the market that adapt perfectly to your desires and your exterior. For example, at Aboral, we create 4 to 6 new models per year!
Finally, its speed and ease of installation ( our swimming pools installed in 4 days ) make it a formidable competitor to the concrete swimming pool which involves more substantial work as well as a longer installation time.
Swimming pool with liner
The liner is a flexible plastic covering that is placed on the walls of a swimming pool. It allows an in-ground pool to be waterproof. The liner is therefore a covering that is placed on a masonry pool. The stages of building a concrete pool follow a precise protocol that you can find in our article construction stages .
This pool structure offers maximum resistance over time thanks to the concrete used to solidify the structure. Indeed, concrete is very strong and does not fear shocks and damage caused by bad weather such as cold or humidity. The main advantage of a masonry pool is that you can make the pool you want because the shape and dimensions are customizable as desired.
If you opt for a concrete pool, you should be aware of certain drawbacks such as the construction time which can be up to two months of work in some cases. Given the construction time and the technicality it requires, the concrete pool is the most expensive option on the market, with a budget easily reaching 20,000 euros for a small model.
Our professional advice
To find out which pool structure is best suited to your outdoor space, it is best to request a quote from several builders. This will allow you to compare prices and see if your land is compatible with installing a pool. Indeed, if your land is not large enough, if a rainwater, gas or electricity network runs under it, or if your land is located within the perimeter of a listed historical monument, the construction of your pool may be compromised.
If your land is suitable for a masonry pool, you must take into account the factor of the duration of the work that we mentioned earlier. At Aboral Piscines, we have made the bet to install your ready-to-dive pool in just 4 days! You must also ask yourself how much time you want to spend on maintaining your pool. The smaller your pool, the easier it will be to maintain. Finally, the last important aspect is that the price of a shell pool is much more affordable than a concrete pool with liner.
