The Pool - An Area to Enjoy

The richness of designs and textures of ceramic pieces allows for their wider use and the different styles of manufacture make them possible to install them for any use.

In this aspect, the pool crown is a special piece manufactured with the latest technologies technically and aesthetically, with a multitude of non-repetitive graphics and with the latest anti-slip technology, with textures that are soft to the touch.

On the other hand, there are trends that combine different textures and colors for the crown of the pool and the pool glass. The combination of a soft and clear stone with others of rich and vibrant tones surprises and reveals a novel, exotic and very attractive result.

Another trend is the continuity of the interior areas of our homes with the exteriors, making the rooms appear larger, combining smooth textures with non-slip textures, generating serene and relaxing places.

The possibility that porcelain flooring gives you to choose between different finishes, colours and formats allows you to have more options when it comes to customising your pool or beach areas.

A fundamental part of making a pool a reality is the use of special pieces for all corners, corners, steps and type of pool crown. All these, unique points in the construction of a swimming pool, have special pieces that make our project a special, quality area, with guarantees for its perfect maintenance afterwards.

Each type of pool, whether they are classic skimmer, overflow or infinity, has its own technical particularities and you need to have specific pieces. For this reason, we have the most specialized manufacturers in this type of product, such as Exagres, Cerámica Mayor, Rosa Gres, APE...

This type of special pieces for swimming pools make each project special, so we always recommend those series that contain this type of special pieces for your pool:

• Grids
• Angles
• Half rods
• Rounded edges
• Double rounded edge for above-ground pool

Another fundamental aspect to take into account in the design of the pool are the graphics and textures of the pieces that cover both the pool basin and the beach area or around the pool. In this aspect, the possibilities are endless, from the warm and natural wood, the elegant marble, the textures of stone or the cement finishes that are so current today.

Another trend in recent years, already possible due to the number of finishes in ceramic materials, is to give color to the pool pool so that the water offers different shades from the typical ones of a lifetime with blue mosaic tiles, which are not just there, but have always been the only constructive way. At this point, there is a fantastically detailed article by Rosa Gres, which explains the reason for the blue color of water and that we will detail here.

A glass of pure water is transparent. It has no smell, no taste, and no color. Or so it seems to us at first glance, but why do we see the pool water and the sea blue?

The blue color of the water is due to the Rayleigh scattering effect.

Water absorbs long-wave lengths of light (red, orange, yellow) more easily than short-wave ones (blue, violet).

The unabsorbed (blue) shortwavelengths of light bounce off and in doing so we pick them up with our eyes. There we have the beautiful blue tones of the water.

The effect increases with the amount of water. For this reason, at a shallow depth, less than 50 cm approximately, we do not perceive it and see the water transparent.

So thanks to Professor Rayleigh, Nobel Prize in Physics in 1904, we can discard the myth that water is blue only because it reflects the sky as if it were a mirror.
