If you want to build a swimming pool or garden area that’s reminiscent of a luxurious Balinese resort, look no further than green sukabumi. Green sukabumi natural stone has been used to create stunning tiled swimming pools for many years.
Why do designers, architects, landscapers and DIYers repeatedly choose green sukabumi? Not prone to scratches or chips, this emerald coloured natural stone is the ideal choice for elegant and enduring outdoor designs.
A unique and beautiful natural stone
Green sukabumi is as rare as it is beautiful. Found only in certain parts of Indonesia, this green stone is named after the Sukabumi regency in West Java where it was originally discovered.
For years, green sukabumi has been used in and around the swimming pools of lavish Indonesian resorts and villas, not only because the tiles look gorgeous shimmering underwater, but because this natural stone actually has unique water purifying properties.
Green sukabumi contains zeolite as part of its natural chemical compound. Zeolite purifies your swimming pool by absorbing heavy metals, contaminants and bad odours from the water. Good water filtration is essential to maintaining a clean and enjoyable swimming pool, and zeolite is known to be an efficient, naturally occurring cleaning machine, removing more contaminants and heavy metals than many sand or chemical filters you’d have to pay to install.
Why choose green sukabumi?
In addition to keeping your pool nice and clean, green sukabumi stone boasts several other unique properties that make it perfect for swimming pools and other outdoor applications.
Sukabumi stone is temperature stable, meaning it doesn’t absorb too much heat on scorching summer days. It’s also slip resistant, which minimises accidents around the pool.
It has a very low absorption rate and strong water resistance. Because the Bali stone is so impermeable, you don’t need to seal green sukabumi to ensure it lasts. This natural stone will endure for generations without too much maintenance because it has high abrasion resistance to scratches and chipping.
How do designers use green sukabumi?
When designers think ‘swimming pool,’ they immediately think of green sukabumi stone, but how else can you utilise this attractive natural stone in your renovations? Green sukabumi is a great choice for floor and wall applications. Because it’s so water resistant and slip-proof, it’s excellent on your back patio or in stone walkways.
Rough finished green sukabumi is commonly used to build striking, strong natural stone walls around your own backyard paradise. Not just reserved for the great outdoors, green sukabumi stone can also be used in mosaic cladding style to create intricate accent walls.
