Over the last few years, the increasing respect for the land and environment has led to a gradual change in the choice of colours and materials used for swimming pools coating.

The types of vegetation present in our territory vary greatly from inland to the coast and from the north towards the south. While the classic blue swimming pool goes well with large, lush green areas, more subtle colours such as sand (there are many references of Castiglione pools of this type) or even more striking colours such as black are more suitable in other areas. Castiglione swimming pools were asked to deliver this latest trend on more than one occasion, which allowed them to design high quality pools.

Black is a good solution for recreating timeworn Po Valley or Ligurian canals or, for example, for becoming at one with nature in the surroundings provided by lava stones, which are typical of Sicilian volcanic islands or Tirrenian coasts. Among other things, it is important to consider that the shade of the swimming pool water is determined by the colour of the sky and therefore, in any case, it tends towards blue. The colour chosen for the coating can only emphasize or minimize this shade, depending on the type of scenery in which the pool is placed.

Finally, it is important not to forget that darker tones can help to attract the sun and keep the water a few degrees warmer even during mid-season, extending the bathing period and favouring energy conservation.
