Both sit at 400 to 450 GSM, and properties often buy one for both jobs. They are different products.
POOL TOWEL — 75 x 150 cm
Smaller, handed out at a reception or a cabana desk, laundered daily in season. Usually white so it can be bleached hard, or a woven stripe.
Specify: white bleachable, or vat-dyed if coloured. Five-pick ground weave, combed ring spun, double-stitched hems. They are gripped, wrung and thrown into bins hundreds of times a season.
BEACH TOWEL — 86 x 160 cm
Larger, because it is lain on rather than dried with. Often jacquard, a woven cabana stripe, or velour-faced if printed. Frequently given to the guest or sold in retail.
Specify: a tighter, shorter pile, which releases sand far better than a tall loose one. A high pile looks luxurious on the shelf and holds half the beach in it.
TWO PRACTICAL DIFFERENCES
Loss. Beach towels go on excursions and do not always return. Budget a replacement allowance rather than treating it as an annual surprise. A woven border makes a towel easier to identify and less appealing to keep.
Dyeing. Pool towels meet chlorine and bleach. Beach towels meet salt, sun and sunscreen. Vat dyeing — dye inside the fibre — is the right answer for both, and nothing resists sunscreen, so white you can bleach is the honest choice where staining matters.
Is the quoted weight before washing or after? Terry shrinks 5 to 7 percent over its first three industrial washes, mostly in length. We quote finished post-wash weight and size in writing.
