Seawater Stone

This type of stone for pools can be national or imported. Besides, it has anti-sliding characteristics and does not absorb heat easily. Alexia and Juliana recommend its use "inside the pool, because as the stone is white, the bluish tone intensifies when wet or with variations in lighting". The cost per square meter of this stone is between R$ 1,000.00 and R$ 1,000.00.200 to R$ 350 reais.

The values can vary from R$ 70 to R$ 250 per square meter. Therefore, it "can be indicated for any type of project", they point out.

Ceramic coating

Although it is not a natural stone, there is a wide range of types and price ranges, which directly depend on the quality and manufacturer. Alexia and Juliana state that "some types are similar to the finish of natural stones". Therefore, "their diversity allows for a wide variety of projects. It is recommended to use those with a non-slip finish". The value of thiscoating varies between 80 and 300 reais per square meter.

Besides these tips, the architects point out that the "swimming pool lining, both the internal and the border part, needs to be resistant and low maintenance, because it will be exposed to bad weather. Besides, the ideal is not to be slippery, to avoid accidents, and preferably should not absorb too much heat, to ensure more environmental comfort".
