According to architect Camila Sato, the material chosen must offer resistance to chemical products and to the volume of water: "these characteristics must be obtained from the manufacturer, as well as the suggested use for each type of lining available in the market". Check out more tips below:
What is the best lining for a swimming pool?
According to the architect, there isn't a specific model, but the one that best suits expectations: "as there is a wide variation in pool shapes, an adequate choice of lining facilitates the execution and/or installation of the intended lining, as well as the construction deadline". Check out the suggestions below, given by civil engineer Patrícia Vasques:
Vinyl
The vinyl lining is a flexible PVC laminate, commonly used in masonry pools: "Fiberiber pools can receive this material, however, any other type of lining such as ceramic, tiles or other rigid type is not indicated, because the pool built with this type of material will have displacements of these pieces", advises Patrícia.
Tablets
Patrícia explains that the use of tiles as lining offers the greatest benefit for the project: "its mobility and adaptation to the different pool formats, even in curves, besides the ease of cleaning, avoiding the accumulation of dirt and micro-organisms, are the main positive points. However, this lining requires specialized labor for its placement".

"Tile is a traditional material, resistant and cheaper compared to any other option, but it requires attention in cleaning due to the creation of slime. Besides, it has a huge diversity of shapes and colors, which allows the creation of mosaics, drawings or engravings in the bottom of the pool", explains the engineer.
Ceramic and porcelain tiles
For Patrícia, the differential of ceramic and porcelain tiles is resistance: "whether enameled, matte, or rustic, this material is resistant to ultraviolet rays, to chemical products, and to the movement of the pool structure. An excellent choice for those who are looking for durability and easy maintenance".
Natural stones
Natural stones, such as marble and granite, require more attention in the choice, for they cannot be porous and must resist chemical products and large volumes of water. For this option, the architect Camila suggests: "when choosing the stone, it is important to pay attention to the types that offer the possibility of performing an adequate finishing, so that they don't have edges that can cause accidents".
To conclude, engineer Patrícia reveals that there are no rules about the chosen style: "pools are no longer only blue, but can play with the colors and shapes available, so a project guarantees the perfect layout and desired effect.
