Swimming Pool Trends: Fashion to Uniqueness

Our attention to detail our swimming pool is one of the things that set us apart from other pool builders. We all know that your swimming pool should be more than just functional – it should add interest and. incorporating such new trends will definitely help you to have an advantage to others. Here are some of those trends:
  1. Beach Entry 
    Beach Entry is also known as a “natural design”. It is like a beach wherein it gradually descends into the ocean waves, a beach entry pool features a deck that gently slopes beneath the surface of the water and becomes increasingly deep as you move forward.  
  2. Fire Features
    Including mesmerizing flame from fire accents or tiki torches around the pool area is now a new idea of adding great effects to the poolside atmosphere.
    3. Water Fountains
    Transforming your pool into an elegant backyard resort is indeed possible especially when you are about to add water fountains into it. Pool fountains create a sound shield for your pool and it also attracts swimmers in many reasons. Water fountain features come in many different styles such as raised spa that pours over some type of spillway into the pool below; bubbling fountain rising from a step or shallow pool; water spouts arching water across the pool’s surface; or even a dramatic waterfall constructed of rock and surrounded by lush landscaping elements. Any of these unique water features.
    4. Infinity Edge Pool
    The reason behind constructing an infinity edge pool is to let the water flows over one or more sides of the pool into a catch basin and is then re-circulated back into the pool. Since the edge of the pool seems to disappear, this type of edge is ideal for backyards with city, ocean or other scenic views. It also adds an exciting visual element to level yards and lots by providing a reflection of the surrounding landscape in the surface of the pool.


    5.Specialty Finishes

    Surrounding your pool with unique and special finishes in your pool is a great idea to make your pool pleasing to the eye and stylish. One way is incorporating a glass tile which is currently the hottest and the most expensive but indeed worth buying for. Glass tiles come in a rainbow of colors, some with unique swirls, bubbles and shading, and are often used to create custom mosaics.


    6. Saltwater Pools

    Why sacrifice the feeling of “burning eyes” because of chlorine if there is another way around. Saltwater pool system may be the best answer. While the upfront cost for the said system may seem more expensive, the maintenance costs in the long run are actually lower than those of a traditional chlorine pool.

    7. Rock Feauture

    How about a dramatic effect in your pool? By using a natural or manmade rock, it creates the kind of serene and breathtaking atmosphere you’d find in nature. Possibilities for incorporating rock into your swimming pool design are endless.


    Now that you have these entire new trends, it's up to you now for what you will apply for you to be satisfied and amazed. Happy designing!
