CONCRETE POOLS

Concrete Pools

Concrete pools are extremely durable and allow for a highly customized size and shape. The disadvantages include more effort to maintain, more chemical usage, highest cost of ownership, a rough interior surface, and a slow installation time.
Unlike fiberglass pools, gunite pools can be made on-site which allows for more flexibility and is easier to install. Gunite pools are incredibly durable and do not require a liner. This allows the pool to look better and retain its shape over time

HOW IS A CONCRETE POOL MADE?

The builders tie together a cage of steel bars, called rebar, and eventually encase it in the concrete shell.
This creates a web of strength and helps prevent structural failure. Remember that adding steel to concrete structures, such as swimming pools, increases the structure's ability to flex and move with its environment.

WHAT IS LOREM IPSUM?

A concrete pool shell is created by spraying either gunite or shotcrete. Gunite is a dry mix with water in the sprayer, whereas shotcrete is already wet. These two methods produce the same result and have no significant difference in quality if done correctly.

After the concrete is sprayed on, it needs time to reach its full potential. It doesn’t dry, per se. It hardens and strengthens in a long process called curing. For a pool shell, this takes about 28 days.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
