How to choose the perfect pool liner colour

Selecting the colour of a pool liner is a key factor that influences its aesthetics, functionality, and visual perception. Beyond the appearance of the water, elements such as natural light, depth, vegetation, and architectural surroundings affect the result. To achieve a comprehensive technical solution, it's also crucial to choose a durable and easy-to-maintain pool liner, such as a reinforced PVC membrane.

Why does pool water appear blue?

Contrary to popular belief, the blue color of water is not solely due to the reflection of the sky. Water absorbs long wavelengths (reds, oranges, and yellows) and allows short wavelengths (blues and violets) to reflect, giving that characteristic hue.

Influence of liner colour on water appearance

The choice of pool liner colour directly affects the water's appearance:

White liner: Provides freshness, a sense of cleanliness, and spaciousness. Reflects sunlight, ideal for warm climates as it reduces water temperature.
Sand or beige liner: Conveys warmth and creates a visual effect of turquoise waters, evoking Mediterranean environments.
Dark blue or indigo tones: Reproduce the depth of the sea and create serene environments.
Natural green: Integrates perfectly with gardens or natural surroundings, ideal for pools seeking harmony with the landscape.
Grey: Highly versatile and modern, it complements contemporary architectural styles and better conceals dirt.
Black: Adds sophistication and exclusivity, improves water temperature in cold climates due to higher heat absorption.

A protective layer between the concrete shell and the membrane.
An antifungal barrier that prevents the proliferation of microorganisms.
