"Concrete pools are the only way to achieve a truly bespoke solution. They require proper design and planning dependent on the composition and geology of the site. Beware expensive ceramic pool companies that tell horror stories of uk pools, that crack, leak move because of uk clay soil types, this doesn't happen if proper analysis and engineering take place.
Modern concrete builds have improved energy efficiency too, if designed and engineered by an expert will be similar to a ceramic pool. Dependent on size requirements and budget concrete will provide some cost savings that will be well spent on an insulated pool deck. Happy to help if you need any more advice."

"Concrete swimming pools are considered by most of people to be the best and most luxurious of all swimming pool constructions. Finishes, including hand laid mosaic can create a real statement and thing of beauty.
Concrete pools offer several benefits to homeowners like
the ability to choose your preferred surface texture, very durable and can last a long time when properly cared for. Also a very important thing, increases the resale value of your home.
Happy to help with more information and advises"
