Are swim islands without EVA or with EVA better?
Swim islands with EVA are usually the better choice because their non-slip surface offers more safety, is more comfortable to step on, and does not become slippery as quickly when wet. The protective EVA layer also makes them significantly more durable than versions without this feature.
What are the advantages of swim islands without EVA?
Swim islands without EVA are often lighter, dry faster, and are cheaper to buy. They are well suited for occasional use, as a pure swimming platform, or for families who do not need a non-slip surface. They can also be smaller when packed.
What are the disadvantages of swim islands without EVA?
Swim islands without EVA offer less grip, which can lead to a risk of slipping when the surface is wet. In addition, the material is more susceptible to scratches, abrasion, or UV damage. For intensive use, e.g., with many people, they are usually less durable and comfortable.
