2 Types of Natural Stone for your Poolside
A pool is an excellent feature to any back yard. Natural Stone gives it a finished, functional look for the long haul.
2 Types of Natural Stone for Poolsides:
– Granite
– Quartzite
There are certainly more than two options to consider when choosing the stone for your poolside, however there are reasons these are the two most popular.
Granite is a natural stone that has a variety of earth-toned colors that create a very pleasing look. Granite also requires no manufacturing, making it an excellent natural choice.
Granite should be sealed regularly to avoid things like mildew and staining. If sealed properly, granite will last for a very long time.
One of the main reasons Granite is a great choice for a pool, is that it does not reflect heat on those hot summer days!
Quartzite also makes an excellent poolside stone. It stays fairly cool in warm weather compared to other stones, making it ideal for a poolside area. It is also a very durable stone.
Unlike the Granite, Quartzite is a more uniform, solid color. For this reason, it may be easier to match other features on the exterior of your home, or even the pool decore.
Quartzite is a non-porous, germ-free material. This is great for a natural stone poolside, places that skin may be exposed.
