krokodilos Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 Hi there, i am new to the forum and just purchased a new holiday house. The house has an inground skimmer swimming pool 3X7m with 1,5m depth. As it is new, the pool is empty with no liner/tiles installed. I was wondering as i am new into the pools thing, 1) can I choose between liner and tiles or 2)the manufacturer has already constructed the walls in such a way so I can only choose liner? in case I have the choice between the 2, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each, both in terms of cost and in terms of long term maintenance. A photo link is attached if this will help. Thanks in advance Quote
Pool Clown Posted January 18, 2010 Report Posted January 18, 2010 Tiling a pool is extremely expensive, the ones i have been involved with anyway. Each tile has to be set by hand, requiring lots of labor compared to a liner. Ask around locally you will find out, and then you can decide which way you want to go. You wont need to have the tiles replaced as often as a liner, but the cost.... Quote
quantumchromodynamics Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 What are the walls and floor made of? If they are concrete, you can use plaster for the finish. Quote

quantumchromodynamics Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 Using tile at the waterline and then plaster below would be a good choice. Quote
