Do you have a luxury swimming pool project coming up in 2020? Preparation is key, and trusted advice from industry experts, such as Guncast Pools & Wellness, can make the process easier for everyone involved. Here are a few of the many factors that need to be taken into consideration when building an outdoor pool.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION…

It’s important to bear in mind that a premium outdoor pool is much more than just a place to swim. This is a bespoke area for entertainment, relaxation and leisure, a space for memories to be made for years to come.

It’s a good idea to position the pool in a well-lit, accessible location, preferably the sunniest spot and sheltered from the wind. With careful swimming pool design, a luxury pool can become the heart of a home, embellishing the landscape and creating a unique selling point that boosts property value.

CONCRETE SPRAYING METHODS

Choosing the right construction method for your project can impact the overall finish and integration of the pool into the wider build scheme. The preferred choice is the gunite wet or dry sprayed concrete technique, which is widely used for the construction of high quality, elite swimming pools. Speak with our specialists today for advice.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT FINISHES

Is the pool theme going to be atmospheric and modern, or traditional and bright? The surrounding structures and finishes are just as important as the pool itself. One factor that will leave a lasting impression is the swimming pool tiling.

Large format porcelain tiles are an excellent choice where the look of natural stone is desired, without the usual drawbacks that natural stone encounters in a pool environment.

Mosaic tiles are versatile for creating stylish pattern-work and, since Roman times, have been used to create opulent decoration. Dark coloured mosaic tiles are often used to create a dramatic, reflective effect and combined with a dark grout, the pool’s finish becomes seamless, elegant and sleek.

Guncast imports the finest mosaic tiles from around the world to achieve beautiful, durable pools and offers an exclusively designed range of marble featuring the latest in on-trend colours including Slate Green, Anthracite Grey, and Bottle Green.
