Vinyl pools are popular because they are inexpensive. The pool is covered with a vinyl sheet that seals around the deck. Vinyl is flexibler than concrete and cheaper than fiberglass.
Tiles cost approximately $4 per square foot. Ceramics are $7-$50/sq.ft. Stone or glass tile can be more expensive. Add to that the installation cost and the final price can easily reach six figures.
This surface gives your pool a more sophisticated look. Most commonly, tile is found along the waterline in a swimming pool.
