While installing a swimming pool in your backyard, the first thought that comes to your mind is which material would be the best fit. So, you have three choices as the most common options available – fiberglass, concrete, and vinyl. Features such as low-maintenance, affordable, and customizable make the last one very popular for residential pool owners in Toronto.
If your backyard is looking forward to an inground pool, here are a few reasons why vinyl pool liner should be at the top of your list.
Low Maintenance
Maintenance is a must for all pools. But vinyl pools require less maintenance as compared to other pools. Vinyl’s nonporous and smooth surface gives less space for contaminants, hence, less requirement of chemicals ultimately keeping the pool water clean for longer period of time.
Maximum efforts a vinyl pool would seek from you is to vacuum it regularly and use the required chemicals. If you do not wish to use chemicals or reduce your efforts here, try installing a salt-water generator. However, if you use chemicals, remember to maintain the levels according to the manufacturer. This would definitely increase the life of your liner.
Cost-Effective
Having a swimming pool in the backyard is a costly affair but with a little research, expert advice, and planning it can be a budget-friendly task without compromising on major sections.
Vinyl liners are affordable in terms of both installation and maintenance as compared to concrete or fiberglass liners. The damage and repair cost increase for fiberglass; and concrete is anyway expensive in installation as well as maintenance.
Pool liners are to be replaced at some point but this cost reduces with vinyl liners. They are long-lasting and replacement cost is comparatively less. Choose wisely!
For Cold Climates
Vinyl pools act less vulnerable to the colder freezing climatic conditions with the use of steel or polymer shell. Concrete pools, on the other hand, are more vulnerable to the freeze-thaw cycles. Therefore, with vinyl liners, you can enjoy being in the pool even in the winters.
Improved technology
With improved technical advancements, vinyl pools are available in modular designs and with features like structural armor, the structure can last longer than expected. Earlier in the 70s, when vinyl pools were introduced, panels were made with wood, plastic, or galvanized steel ultimately affecting the durability of the pool.
Any Design You Want
Vinyl liners are custom-built and can fit in any design or feature you want. For people who are very specific about the size and shape of their pool, vinyl liners are the best options for them. Assembled in modular panels, the swimming pool structure has unlimited shape and size potential.
Moreover, vinyl liners have nonabrasive surface which gives a smooth feel on your feet.
Therefore, besides being affordable and long-lasting, technology has made vinyl swimming pools more desirable. Furthermore, if you wish to change it with a different look altogether, no worries – both you and your pocket are happy! You cannot do this with concrete or a fiberglass pool. The advantages of having a vinyl swimming pool in Toronto definitely outweigh concrete and fiberglass options.
