When faced with upgrading your worn out pool, you have two choices. Either rip the old pool out and put in a brand new one or simply renovate your existing pool.
Renovating your current swimming pool is the most cost effective choice, which can literally save you thousands of dollars. Let’s look at a couple of initial questions though…
Do you have a budget set for your pool renovation?
Are you looking to upgrade your landscaping around your swimming pool?
Consider how old your swimming pool is. You may need more than just a “cosmetic upgrade”.
When giving you a quote for your pool renovation, we will also check out your filtration system, coping, lighting options (if you currently have lighting) water features to name a few. This is to ensure they are all in perfect working order, as there may well be some components you have no need to replace.
In working out your budget take into consideration any components, you know that are worn out, any extras you may like to add and any new landscaping you would like to include.
As there are many aspects to renovating a pool, we have broken down below, each area/component that is and can be involved with upgrading your swimming pool.
The Aspects of Pool Renovations
Coping
Coping The Pool Shell Wall
Coping is the cap on the edge of your swimming pool (like a frame around a photo) which is mounted on the bond beam. There are a number of options you can use: concrete, wood decking, tile or natural stones.
Styling can include, straight lengths, curved sections or corners. Keep in mind “pool safety” when choosing your coping, to ensure you have a non slip surface, which is especially important when dealing with children around pools.
Waterline Band
Water Reflection
The waterline band is the “tile line” which is placed immediately under the coping area. This defines between your coping and underwater finish.
Tiles are the preferred choice for your waterline band area because they are much easier to clean than anything else. Design tip; choosing more earthy, monochromatic colours will ensure you don’t become bored with a tile pattern to “busy” around the pool edge.
Pebblecrete Interior
Durable Cost Effective
Pebblecrete interiors can be used as your swimming pool interior. It is a mixture of where fine pebbles and cement are combined & applied to your pool interior.
There are a number of different blends so as to create the colour reflection you are looking for in your pool, whether a tropical green or bright clean blue. A plus when using pebblecrete interiors in your pool renovation is they are cost effective & durable.
Fully Tiled
The Ultimate Interior Choice
To gain the best “finish” for your pool, pool tiles are the only way to go, being the most hard wearing & smoothest interior choice. Tiles are an easier maintenance option, coming in glass or ceramic.
By using pool tiles though, you will gain more flexibility in the design, texture and colour for your interior. Due to the work involved using pool tiles on your swimming pool interior, it is vital you use a professional pool tiler!
Filtration
Keep It Clean!
All pools need a quality filtration system and it is essential they operate correctly, as pool water is cycled through several times a day removing debris & oxidized material from the water. If your filter system isn’t working correctly you will end up with conditions that create an algae population and cloudy water.
There are two types of filters to choose from – Sand and Cartridge filters. We will advise on the best filtration system for your pool explaining the maintenance required, costs & benefits.
Pool Surrounds
The Finishing Off Stage
The surrounding area of your swimming pool includes the immediate outer paving area, any retainer walls needed, extra features and garden. The pool surrounds also creates the atmosphere you are wanting to achieve.
Several choices for the outer area of your pool are: Stone, Imitation Stone, Wood Decking, Concreate & Tiles. It is important to remember pool safety should be your first consideration. Non slip surfaces are the best choice for the immediate area surrounding your pool.
Water Features
Spoil Yourself
Can add fun & excitement to your pool for both children and adults. Pool features are relatively easy to maintain. Water features also provide a visual appeal to your pool and really bring to life the atmosphere you are wanting to create.
With too many options available to list, during your initial consultation, Paul can go over ideas that are best suited to your pool and needs. We will also ensure any water feature you wish to have does comply with local regulations and guidelines.
Pool Lighting
WOW Factor
Pool lightening really brings your pool area to life after dark. Choosing the right lighting can bring real impact to your pool and compliment the mood or atmosphere you are creating. Pool lighting is also inexpensive to run & adds added safety to your pool area.
You have a wide range of choices from fibre optic, LED, flush mounted, single colour, multi-coloured underwater lights & more! All shapes and sizes and many that will have your water feature dazzling at night!
