How to choose the right swimming pool liner?

 When the temperature begins rising outside and the sun is shining bright, it’s time to jump on the floating lounge chair with a cocktail garnished with an umbrella and forget about the world problems - which have been a lot in recent times. Putting your recreational fantasy in neutral gear, you suddenly notice a hole in your pool liner. If you are also noticing water leakage problems, it’s time for swimming pool liner repair.

When it comes to pool liner, the options are endless. From pattern and color to thickness and texture, you get an opportunity to customize the liner as per your specific needs.

That said, it is often not an easy task to choose the best pool liner from so many options. As with everything else, there are certain factors to consider before making the purchase such as the type of pool you own, personal preferences, taste, budget, and more.

Thus, the swimming pool contractors at Fuggetta Contracting Corp in Staten Island are sharing a list of the most important factors you should consider to ensure you choose the best swimming pool liner.

Color
The color of your pool liner plays an integral role in determining the overall look of your pool after the installation. Choosing the liner color depends entirely on what you want your pool to look like. While the color choice is often blue for 99% of pool owners, the decision-making process isn’t over yet. Pool liners are available in many different shades of blue, such as vivid blue, aqua blue, deep blue, light blue, and more. Thus, comprehending what you want the end result to be is the quickest way to narrow down your options.

Choosing a dark shade of blue will make it difficult to notice dirt and debris in the pool. However, they are more susceptible to fading as they absorb more sunlight. Whereas, lighter shades attract less sunlight, do not show signs of fading for years, but make dirt and debris noticeable. Thus, they need to be regularly cleaned.

Pattern
Deciding what pattern you want is still easier than choosing the color. Even though there are many patterns available to choose from such as ceramic tile print, neutral stone, marble stone, and more, the entire decision comes down to choosing between a tile or no-tile look. Tile look involves a decorative design on the edge of the liner above the waterline. Regardless of what option you choose, make sure it complements your patio.

Texture
It is exactly what it sounds like. It is an embossed surface that is under your foot. It not only makes it easy for you to walk around in your pool without slipping but also feels good underfoot. It basically provides an added safety.

Thickness
Thickness is yet another important factor to consider. While you may think the thicker, the better, it’s not always the case. Of course, in many cases, the thicker pool liner lasts a lifetime and does not fade over time. However, the lifespan of your swimming pool liner depends a lot on the installation. If it is overstretched during installation, it’ll affect its lifespan. Thus, it’s important to consult with experienced swimming pool contractors in Staten Island to ensure your pool liner is installed effectively.

There you have it! Choosing the best pool liner can be a time-consuming task. However, if you know exactly what you want, you are all sorted.
