By then furnishing the garden with your favorite style, you can create a space tailored to your taste and needs, spending unforgettable moments, without having to necessarily leave the house.

An overview of construction techniques

While at first glance the only thing that strikes you about a swimming pool is its aesthetic side, you must keep in mind that the fantastic final result you admire is the result of a complex construction technique designed in every detail.
Construction methods vary depending on the materials and technology used, which is why an inground pool in the garden can be made of:

Reinforced concrete

It is the most used method for a long time and guarantees complex projects, especially in infinity versions. Its installation requires time and technique which, in front of the final result, will deliver aesthetic projects of remarkable workmanship. It can be covered with almost all the materials on the market: from PVC reinforced membrane, to tiles, to mosaics, to natural stone, to resins or paints.

Fiberglass

These are swimming pools designed to be installed quickly, at a low cost, in spaces that are not necessarily large. The technology used allows a wide choice of shapes and solutions, and the construction times are generally short because not much work is required in the garden and it does not need to be covered.

Lost formwork

They are an alternative solution to reinforced concrete and offer some advantages in terms of construction time and the cost of building work. The final result is always of a high standard with the only drawback being the limited possibilities for customization and the choice of coating, which does not include all the possibilities of traditional reinforced concrete. With a good quality/price ratio, they offer excellent thermal insulation.

Prefabricated steel panels

In recent years, swimming pools built with this technique have grown exponentially in number. They are the end result of complex and particularly precise design phases that deliver models and solutions of rare and precise workmanship. The swimming pool is designed and built in the laboratory, through the creation of steel panels (ribbed or not) that are installed directly in the garden, without requiring too much building work, in a short time. There are different solutions for shapes, coatings and filtration systems, and they allow a wide freedom of design.

Alternative solutions

In addition to these solutions, you can also build your swimming pool in different versions: above-ground or semi-buried.

The semi-buried models are design projects capable of embodying the advantages of both inground and above-ground models with remarkable results. They require accurate installation and can be, for some brands, a construction variant of inground models.

The above-ground swimming pools can be placed anywhere, indoors or outdoors, and are ideal for those who do not want a permanent installation in the garden, because they do not require building work and can be easily disassembled and reassembled. The models in the catalogue offer solutions for every space and present a wide choice of models and aesthetic solutions.

The choice is wide and varies depending on your needs and the location where the swimming pool will be installed, look at the proposed solutions and contact us, we will design your dream together.
