Swimming Pools
When choosing the materials for a swimming-pool several factors have to be considered before purchase and installation.
Thanks to its characteristics, porcelain stoneware is an ideal solution for locations of this kind.
In terms of appearance an outdoor pool must fit attractively into its surroundings. The choice of colour, for example, is important for the shades reflected by the water.
Another factor that provides a tasteful, elegant context is continuity between the materials of the pool, the pool edges and the surrounding paved areas, possible thanks to the large offering of porcelain stoneware tiles.
Francesco Camellini – Chief Technical Officer discusses external facades, with a particular focus on ventilated facades, the applicational benefits of this system and the use of porcelain stoneware in installations of this kind.
