What You Need To Know Before Buying a Swimming Pool
May 22, 2023
Congratulations! You’ve decided to get a pool before the summer season sets in! There’s nothing quite like having your own backyard oasis in the hot summer months, and there’s nothing more soothing than a swimming pool to cool you off as the inviting waters melt away stress. There’s no doubt about it, getting a pool added to your backyard or garden is one of the most exciting investments for homeowners, as it’s truly an architectural element that’s meant to be savoured and enjoyed.
There’s just one more thing to consider, once you’ve chosen your style of pool: what colour do you want it to be?
Today’s Marbleglass™ Range offers a wide variety of options to help you nail your backyard style. With a 10-year surface warranty, world-leading technology, more flexibility, and better chemical resistance, Marbleglass is the finest pool shell. It also comes in a range of colours (7 Marbleglass). Using a unique technology that allows the blending of 4 solid colours, the result is a range of options that are more vibrant and extremely colour-fast.
But, with so many options to choose from, how do you decide which would look best in your pool?
The pool should match your version of tranquility. A backyard pool is a personal oasis, and its ultimate look should reflect your vision of relaxation and retreat. To achieve that “look”, the first thing to consider is your existing surroundings, and narrow your options by finding a colour that best matches with what already exists – your timber, tiles, furniture or surrounding foliage. Speaking of foliage – will your pool be in a shaded area or full sun?
Then, envision the “look” you are going for spread over the overall backyard/pool area. It helps to create a vision board to help you picture the environment you are hoping to emulate. Do you want a Caribbean feel? That might mean looking for something in an aquamarine shade. Do you want something more rustic or natural? A darker shade might lend itself better to that sort of style. Looking for inspiration on Pinterest, or a simple Google image search will also help you begin to better picture how different tones will give your pool a different look and feel and completely transform your backyard environment.
Once you’ve decided what type of water tone you’d like – Blue, Dark Blue, or Green – you can begin to hone in on the Marbleglass colour options that will work best in your pool. These include:
Deep blues will be the most striking and will make for a bold backyard statement. Light blues are inviting and often give the impression of sparkling at the surface. It’s also easier to see and gauge the bottom of the pool, which many people prefer. Note that, to get a green tone pool, your Marbleglass will be a beautiful light shade of brown, like sand or stone, and the tone is reminiscent of the aquamarine waters of Caribbean islands.
