The Benefits of One-Piece Swimming Pools
One-Piece swimming pools are becoming more and more popular as a first choice for domestic swimming pools, whether an indoor or an outdoor swimming pool installation. They have been widely produced in America, Australia and Europe since the 1950’s. One-Piece pools are ideally suited for the domestic market because of their flexible design and ease of installation, providing almost instant visible results once installed.
One-Piece pools can be made into customized attractive shapes and the pool shells are more resistant to damage than vinyl lined or tiled pools. This style of pool is also easier to clean. One-Piece pools, by definition have to be transported in one piece. It is important to keep in mind that transportation and access can occasionally place limitations on the size of pool possible.
One-Piece pools have been popular in Australia for many years. Around 60% of pools are constructed in this way and are steadily gaining popularity in the UK. They offer great flexibility allowing the addition of features such as steps and underwater ledges at a fraction of the cost of a concrete pool say.

Compass Ceramic Swimming Pools
Compass Ceramic Pools have been at the forefront of swimming pool design and manufacture, utilising the latest materials and technologies to produce a product of superior quality, and aesthetics for over 30 years.

Liner Swimming Pools
Liners come in a range of qualities and standard. The highest available quality is on-site welded liner due to its durability and robustness in comparison to one-piece liner – also known as a ‘bag’ liner. As customers’ aspirations for pools have changed over the years, one key advantage to welded liner is the versatility of shape that can be achieved due to it being cut on-site.

Concrete Pools
There are three different methods to create a concrete swimming pool: reinforced concrete blockwork, shuttered and poured reinforced concrete or sprayed reinforced concrete (also known as gunite or shotcrete).
