RENOVATION - SERAPOOL Porcelain

100 1. Why Can’t Natural Stone Be Used in Pools? • It absorbs water, which promotes bacterial growth. • The material cracks and wears down due to water absorption during freeze- thaw cycles. • Chemicals and salt quickly erode natural stone and make it sharp. Although natural stone looks beautiful architecturally, it is not technically suitable for pools. 2. Why are pebble (gravel-based coatings) not suitable? • Due to its hard structure, it is highly prone to cracking. • It swells when it absorbs water from the substrate. • Proper workmanship is critical, and skilled labor is almost impossible to find today. • It cannot be applied in regions with freezing temperatures. • Its textured surface may lead to rapid algae growth. 3. Why Doesn’t Glass Mosaic Adhere? • There is no texture on the back surface for the adhesive to adhere to. Therefore, it will peel off over time on floors and walls. • It is not durable on surfaces exposed to water. Post-Application Procedures • After the coating is completed, the pool is filled with water. • Mechanical and electrical systems, insulation, and coating are tested to ensure they work together properly. • This stage is extremely critical for ensuring the pool is durable, safe, and trouble-free to use. Considering Aesthetic, Architectural, and Technical Decisions Together A pool is not just a swimming area, but also an architectural element that adds aesthetic value to a home. For proper architectural planning: • Sun position • The pool’s visibility from the house • Pool dimensions and shape • Details such as reinforced concrete stairs and seating areas • Mechanical room and balance tank dimensions • Electrical, water, and ventilation requirements must be clarified with all teams. Serapool Porcelain offers both an aesthetic and safe solution with its resistance to pool chemicals, salt, and mechanical wear. With the right material selection and meticulous application, the pool can be used without problems for many years once the renovation process is complete.
