So what is the difference between these pools?<\/p>\n<h2>Composite pools<\/h2>\n<p>Composite removable pools are made of an <strong>alloy of wood and PVC<\/strong>, being an ideal alternative to wooden pools.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These pools offer an avant-garde look in your garden and you have the option of graving or semi-graving them.<\/p>\n<h2>Wooden pools<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grepool.com\/en\/wooden-pools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Traditional wooden pools<\/strong><\/a> are <strong>made from French Scots pine<\/strong> and have great durability thanks to the pre-treatment that the wood requires before its final delivery.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They have a guarantee of up to 10 years on the structure of the pool, which has a perfect rustic decoration for your home.<\/p>\n<h2>Advantages of composite pools<\/h2>\n<p>Composite pools offer certain advantages over traditional wood that are importants to know before buying a pool.<\/p>\n<h3>Maintenance<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grepool.com\/en\/composite-pools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Composite pools<\/strong><\/a> are easy to maintain as they do not require special care; no varnish or oils or special waxes. Unlike wooden pools that do need a specific treatment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can clean the composite pool with water periodically and it is enough to maintain it. These pools are <strong>resistant to elements such as extreme weather and the environment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Endurance<\/h3>\n<p>As composite wood is also made of PVC, it offers greater resistance as <strong>it does not absorb as much moisture<\/strong>. This makes the structure more resistant to rain and sun rays.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The composite adapts to different spaces and can be built in different formats and colours. It is a perfect material to keep outdoors since in addition to the weather, it also resists other elements such as mold or termites.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In general<strong>, it resists all types of parasites and fungi<\/strong> without suffering the destructive action of any plague.<\/p>\n<h3>Stability<\/h3>\n<p>Traditional wood is <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.grepool.com\/en\/articles\/swimming-pools\/swimming-pool-set-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>easy to assemble<\/strong><\/a> but can undergo expansion or compression regulated by changes in temperature. However, the composite is more stable and does not suffer from these phenomena.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It does not lose the warmth and naturalness of traditional wood since it has the same aesthetic appearance. In addition, the companies that use thermoforming to manufacture these composite pools <strong>allow this material to bend and adapt to any curve without breaking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This means less risk of the appearance of cracks or chips, thus avoiding having an accident when walking barefoot on the surface.<\/p>\n<h3>Eco-friendly and sustainable material<\/h3>\n<p>Composite is a <strong>recyclable material<\/strong> that also starts from recycled products for its manufacture since it comes from wood waste from other processes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>By using recycled products, this material helps the environment and is eco-sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Find in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grepool.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>GRE<\/strong><\/a> all the models of our composite pools and enjoy the advantages it offers.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The above-ground wooden pools offer great resistance, as well as being a sustainable and ecological material.
