Structural Foam And Other Swimming Pool Innovations

By Katrina Wheeler


Choosing a pool is an exciting time although you may not be aware that times have changed. What might have at one time been a simple decision, is now filled with innovative choices, unique inclusions and a large number of styles and visual perspectives to choose from. You will find that construction materials have even changed to include products such as wall panels made from structural foam.

Deciding where your pool will fit and what the maximum size is that you can have will probably be the first decision to make. Have a look at your block and area of land and also consider the impact that underground pipes may have, if any. This will provide you with a great starting point because you will know where the pool can fit and will be able to choose an accurate shape and size.

There are many different designs, depths and colors to decide between and this is something that you may not have realized, especially if you have only just started researching. One of the hardest considerations will be in regards to overall design and visual appeal. Walking around a variety of stores will provide you with many ideas and will probably leave you hoping that your end product looks as visually beautiful as those you have seen.

By creating an oasis in your backyard you will have increased the value of your home as well which is why some decisions are harder than others. Visual appeal from the perspective of the pool itself, the choice of fencing and any landscaping that you may choose to do will need to be well planned. If it is planned the right way, it will be a very rewarding experience that provides a great result.

It would be a great idea to list down a variety of inclusions that you would like to consider if the quote is affordable. These might include ideas you have previously thought of such as additional lighting, solar panels and an automatic cleaner. Or it could be some new ideas that you have just discovered since you started your pool research. A good example of innovative design might include spa jets or the jet feature that allows you to exercise in your pool by swimming towards the current.

Another consideration to make is the actual material that the pool will be made from. Popular choices over the years have been concrete and fibreglass. Concrete is popular because it can be poured to fit any space, length and shape. It offers a bit more flexibility than the rigid shaped fibreglass options. Some people may think it is best to choose a temporary option such as the inflatable or rubber varieties.

Improvements in technology have ensured that many construction materials can now provide an option that is rust free, mildew free and rot proof when placed in the ground. One such innovation is through wall panels that are structured with a special foam. Coping can also be attached which can make the overall design much more affordable as well.

Researching as many options as possible will ensure that you choose the right pool for your needs. You will have valuable information that you can use that will be of benefit to your family. An innovation such as structural foam panels for walls shows the rapid progression of innovation in recent times.
