What Are Vanishing Edge Pools (Infinity) Pools?
Vanishing edge pools, also known as endless or infinity pools, add a unique level of elegance to your backyard. The edge of an infinity pool vanishes, making the water appear endless. Fallen water collects in a basin and recirculates. This creates a breathtaking backyard oasis.
Benefits of a Vanishing Edge Pool
If you are considering adding a pool to your home, a vanishing-edge pool can be an incredible asset that accentuates your view. This is especially true if you live by the intercoastal or a lake. Depending on your view, a vanishing edge pool can appear as if your pool’s water is flowing into the adjacent water feature!
In addition to this pool’s stunning design, it can also increase the overall value of your property. An infinity pool would be a wonderful place for you, your family, and your friends. It can create unforgettable memories while providing you with the perfect oasis to relax and daydream.
Vanishing Edge Pools Construction Process
Building a vanishing edge pool is a sophisticated and precise process that requires a high level of expertise, careful planning, and meticulous attention to detail. The end result is a stunning, seamless pool that integrates beautifully with your environment. Here’s an overview of the steps involved in constructing a vanishing edge pool:
1. Design and Planning
The first step in constructing a vanishing edge pool is to work closely with our expert designers. This step determines the best layout for your pool. We’ll consider your property’s unique topography, the location of the catch basin, the desired visual effect, and your specific needs. Whether your pool will overlook a lake, intercoastal waterway, or other scenic views, our team will ensure that the vanishing edge aligns perfectly to create the illusion of water flowing into the horizon.
2. Excavation and Site Preparation
Once the design is finalized, excavation begins. This phase involves digging the pool area and preparing the site, including forming the necessary channels for the catch basin, pump system, and plumbing. Special attention is given to ensuring the vanishing edge will have a seamless appearance, which requires precise grading and structural support.
3. Pool Shell Construction
Next, builders create the pool’s structural framework using reinforced concrete or gunite, spraying it over the excavated area. They carefully construct the pool’s walls, floor, and vanishing edge to meet aesthetic and engineering standards. Below the edge, they build the catch basin to collect and recirculate water, achieving the desired effect.
3. Plumbing and Waterfall Integration
The plumbing work includes the catch basin pump, filtration system, and circulation system. This step is crucial for ensuring that water is constantly pumped back into the pool, maintaining a consistent water level, and achieving the “endless” effect. The waterfall mechanism is also integrated into the design for a smooth flow of water over the edge.
4. Finishing Touches
Once we complete the structural and plumbing work, we apply finishing materials like tile, stone, or pebbles for aesthetics. We carefully polish the vanishing edge for a smooth transition and adjust the surrounding landscape to complement the pool.
With precision and expertise, we create a pool that not only blends into your backyard but also enhances it, transforming your outdoor space into a serene, visually stunning retreat.
