Choosing the type of pool is one of the first big decisions. Each option has its strengths, and the right one depends on the look you want, your site and how long you'd like the build to take.
Tiled concrete pools
A tiled pool is built in concrete on site and finished in mosaic or porcelain tiles. It's the most flexible option: any shape, any depth, with built-in steps, benches and features. It's also the most premium finish and, looked after well, lasts for decades.
- Complete freedom over shape and features
- The most premium, long-lasting finish
- The longest build of the three
One-piece pools
A one-piece pool is made off site as a single shell and craned into place. Because most of the work happens in the factory, it's much quicker to install, and the smooth finish is easy to keep clean. The trade-off is that you choose from set shapes and sizes, and access for delivery needs planning.
- Quick to install
- Smooth, easy-clean surface
- Set range of shapes and sizes
- Needs good access for delivery
Liner pools
A liner pool has a structure finished with a reinforced membrane rather than tiles. Modern reinforced liners come in a range of colours and textures, look smart and are cost-effective. Liners do need replacing eventually, which we can do on site, and it's also a common way to refurbish an older pool.
- Cost-effective
- Wide choice of colours and finishes
- Liner replaced after a number of years
And Niveko
We also build Niveko pools, a modular system that combines a fast install with plenty of design choice, including the Niveko Motion pool with a floor that rises to become a terrace.
