If you take a minute to flip through a landscape magazine, one thing that you will notice is that it is the tile work that separates the good looking pools from truly great looking pools. For decades, decorative tile work has been confined exclusively to built in cement pools, as above ground pool owner were resigned to swimming in pools that were lined with simple, yet functional standard blue above ground pol liners.
Indistinguishable From Ceramic Tile
However; new development in plastics and plastics manufacturing technologies has in turn led to fantastic new development in above ground pool liners. Hence; now they come in a wide range of amazingly realistic decorative styles that can completely change the look of an above ground pool. Faux ceramic tile above ground pool liners actually duplicate the appearance of real ceramic tile, down to the most subtle details, including recessed grout lines.
The Total Look of Real Tile
But what about the top edge of the pool? Doesn’t the realism end there? The simple answer is not at all, because on a completely decorated above ground pool, the decking rides over the top edge, completely concealing it from view. What about the outside metal sides of the pool? Aren’t they visible thereby spoiling the effect? Once again, the decking completely conceals this part of the pool as well.
All at a Fraction of the Cost of Real Tile
The end result, is that when properly done, the complete look of an above ground pool with decking and a decorative tile above ground pool liner is nothing short of amazing. Wrap around natural wood decking combined with an faux tile above ground pool liner will make for an overall effect that will have your guest thinking that you spent tens of thousands of dollars to accomplish.
