Your swimming pool design starts here
When thinking about swimming pool design ideas a good starting point is to consider both the aesthetics and practicalities of having a pool. What kind of style will fit with the overall landscape design? What other natural materials will be present in the landscape? Regarding the practicalities – is the stone coping suitable for a saltwater pool? Does the paver’s texture provide a non-slip surface?
When it comes to pools there are certain factors that may affect product selection so it’s always best to have a discussion with your landscape architect, swimming pool designer or swimming pool builder early on. For example, some sandstone pavers may not be suitable for a saltwater pool or some pool designs may require custom product sizing.
When it comes to swimming pool tile design a key consideration is the coping around the pool. ‘Coping’ refers to the product, which creates the edge around the pool, joining it with the surrounding paving or landscaped area. Depending on the Eco paving stone selected, there are a number of coping options available in a variety of styles from the traditional round bullnose to rebated coping or even square edge coping for a cleaner modern look.
So if you’re just starting out, begin by collecting or pinning pool ideas and images that you like.
