Why Permeability Matters Around Your Pool

Permeable surfaces around pools are a game-changer for safety and maintenance. By allowing rainwater and splashed pool water to pass directly through the floor, you minimise puddles and the risk of slips. Proper drainage is vital for compliance with UK regulations and ensures your pool area remains tidy and comfortable in all seasons.
