We explore why The Block contestants are opting for Plungie pools this season and how these innovative pools are making a splash in the world of home design and renovation.

Plungie pools have been gaining popularity in recent years by offering homeowners the highest quality concrete pool  that stems from  their pools being prefabricated and built in a quality controlled factory. Unlike traditional in-ground pools, Plungie pools are easier to install, require less maintenance, and can be customised to suit any style or design preference.

One of the most compelling reasons contestants on The Block are choosing Plungie pools this season is the ease and speed of installation. In a high-pressure competition like "The Block," time is of the essence, and every hour counts.

Plungie pools are prefabricated, meaning they are manufactured off-site and delivered as a complete unit. They are available in 4 different sizes to suit your space aswell as being available in both rectangular and a circular model. This eliminates the need for time-consuming excavation and construction work that traditional pools often require. See the range of models  available here.

With Plungie pools, installation is a breeze. They can be craned into place, set up quickly, and filled with water within a matter of hours, drastically reducing the downtime associated with pool installation. This allows contestants to use their time and resources on other aspects of their renovations, ensuring they meet deadlines and deliver stunning results.

Another key factor driving the popularity of Plungie pools on "The Block" is their incredible versatility in design. These pools can be customised  to complement any architectural style or outdoor space, whether the contestants are going for a modern, sleek look or a more rustic, natural aesthetic, Plungie pools can be finished with a variety of materials and colors to match the overall design concept.
