Concrete and Interlock: Two Excellent Options for Your Fiberglass Pool
When installing a fiberglass pool, selecting the right deck material is an important decision that affects both the aesthetics and functionality of your outdoor space. Ontario's distinct four-season climate presents unique considerations for pool owners. Both concrete and interlock pavers offer compelling advantages that can complement your fiberglass pool beautifully.
The Benefits of a Concrete Surface
At KW Fiberglass Pools, we’ve seen firsthand why concrete is a popular choice among Ontario homeowners. A well-designed concrete deck provides a smooth, seamless surface that creates a clean, contemporary look around your pool. I’ve found that its unified appearance not only expands the visual space but also provides an elegant backdrop for outdoor furniture.
One of the key benefits we appreciate is concrete’s excellent value proposition. It’s accessible for various budgets, and modern finishing techniques have completely transformed what concrete can look like. With options like stamped patterns, integral coloring, and decorative scoring, we can mimic natural stone, brick, or tile designs tailored to a home’s architecture. We also offer cool-deck treatments, which reduce heat absorption on hot Ontario summer days, keeping surfaces comfortable for bare feet.
The Benefits of Interlock Pavers
Our team also loves working with interlock pavers for their aesthetic versatility and durability. They come in a wide range of shapes, colors, and textures, so you can create personalized designs that match any architectural style, whether it’s a heritage home or a modern build. We enjoy experimenting with creative patterns, borders, and inlays that really make a pool area stand out.
In Ontario, where seasonal ground movement is a reality, interlock pavers offer significant advantages. Their segmented nature means they flex with subtle shifts, which is perfect for our clay soils. Plus, their excellent drainage helps manage spring meltwater and summer storms, reducing pooling and enhancing safety. Many of our clients appreciate that interlock installations are ready to enjoy immediately—there’s no prolonged curing period.
Making the Choice at KW Fiberglass Pools
At KW Fiberglass Pools, we believe that both concrete and interlock can deliver excellent performance when installed by our experienced team. The choice really comes down to your aesthetic preferences, budget, and specific needs. Often, we even combine both materials—using concrete for structural elements and interlock for accent areas—to create a balanced, beautiful outdoor space.
