The Best Material Options for Around Your Pool

Material Options for your Swimming Pool

Today we want to give you some ideas about the materials that you can put around the pool.

Like everything else, there are some that are more economical and others less, but the most important thing is that it adapts to what you are looking for, to your needs and to your tastes.

The good thing? That there are multiple options, with their different characteristics, so, for sure, with these ideas that we give you, you will find the best one for you!

Natural grass: a classic and refreshing option

The first one that comes to mind is natural grass. An all-time classic. It's perfect if you usually go barefoot everywhere you go. And it can be combined with absolutely all the other materials we tell you about in this article!

Plant it before spring or autumn, in compact soil.

The most important thing about this option is that it requires regular maintenance and cleaning, which can mean higher water consumption. So that it does not spoil and, above all, does not stain the pool water.

Natural stone: elegance and durability

We continue with another classic: natural stone.

They are a perfect choice, because they have a very good resistance to atmospheric agents and to the weather. products chemicals. And even more so, if you like the classic style.

In addition, they give a very elegant look. Like the ones we can find in Naturpiedra, with its models: Nácar, Fósil, Sabana, Filita Gris or Travertino.

Natural wood: warmth and aesthetics

Still with natural materials, another alternative, very warm and aesthetically pleasing, is undoubtedly natural wood.

We always use Moso Bambu, with its Bamboo X-Treme model. We can find them in slats, plank type, striated or with smooth surface, and in lighter or darker tones.

Most importantly, they have very good weather resistance, do not crack and have a perfect finish with no chips or edges.

For us, it is one of our favourite solutions.

Composite: versatility and durability

Composite, also known as synthetic wood, is a material that is increasingly gaining ground in the installation of outdoor flooring.

On terraces, patios, gardens or even around swimming pools. That is why we could not fail to give you this other option.

It is a very versatile material because, being made from a combination of wood fibres and polymers, it also combines the warmth of wood and the durability of plastics.

In addition, it is often considerably cheaper than natural wood.

They can be found at Leroy Merlin, in slat or tile formats, and with different designs and surface finishes.

Ceramics: strength and variety

Another good option are ceramic floors, which offer a wide variety of designs, such as the ones in the brand TAU, we couldn't like them more!

It is one of the most durable solutions available. As they are specially manufactured for outdoor flooring, they are highly resistant and perform very well against water and sun.

They are manufactured in pieces of different sizes and models and in all kinds of tones, such as the models: Borriolstone Sand, Belice Sand and Dorcia Silver, among many others, of this TAU brand that we were telling you about.

Porcelain tile: durability and style

You can also opt for another very good material for around the pool, due to its performance and finishes, which is porcelain tile.

It is a very resistant material, very durable, requires little maintenance, and, above all, it is non-slip, cool, and has low porosity, which means that it repels more heat from the sun than other materials, and therefore does not burn.

And also a very important feature is that you are sure to find a finish and format that you will love, due to the wide variety of options available.

We love the options offered by Porcelanosa, such as the Harlem steel; and also the Dekton from Porcelanosa. Cosentinosuch as the Keranium and Rem! finishes.

Artificial turf: practicality and comfort

The last alternative, but by no means the least important, is artificial grass, such as those offered by Bricodepot, in rolls and in the shape you need.

Unlike the natural one, this one is almost completely maintenance-free and requires less care.

We always recommend to opt for draining models, to avoid puddles, and they are also soft and pleasant to the touch.

Testimony

This is what Carlos and Noelia told us when they came to the studio to tell us the idea they had about the project they had been dreaming of doing for so long in their villa in Hontanar, among other things...

Your blog inspired us to ask you to realise our dream of having an entire tiled rooftop pool.
