Discover now the pools that will make you dream in 2019:

During this summer month, we spend long days in the sun, and it is hot. During these 3 summer months, everyone needs to relax in a pool, whatever the type.

Without thinking too much, you can this summer get the pool to suit your taste and budget. If you have the possibility to install one at home, there is nothing better, and now is the ideal time to get a clearer idea about pool trends for 2019. There are three essential elements that can combine to give you the conviction of having chosen your ideal pool: Luxury, design and aesthetics.

We haven’t forgotten that the choice of a pool will depend on the exact space you have available as well as your budget. When we think about the idea of having a pool, we immediately make the connection with luxury and wealth. However, this is not always the case, you can have a pool according to your means, knowing that in recent years, the installation price of pools has decreased, and it is now affordable and reasonable for more people, so much so that in France there are more than 2.5 million private pools!

Here are the different ideal pool types:

If you always feel the need or desire to relax your muscles at any time of the day at home with family or friends, then it’s perfect! There is something for everyone’s taste:

I. Semi-inground or inground pools:

We all think that any beautiful pool can only be inground, or semi-inground, since we always have the idea that it has value and is much more highly regarded than others.

Regarding inground pools, we find several types: The polyester pool or “shell” pool: It is simply a basin based on these materials: fibreglass and resin, and manufactured completely at the factory. For installation, there is nothing simpler, because you only need to dig and place the shell. There are different shapes to satisfy everyone’s needs, or each target. Nothing simpler as a solution, which is ultimately economical for this type of (inground) pool.

The concrete pool: this is a type of pool that will ensure watertightness and structure. This type of pool allows you to develop or design all desired shapes.

The masonry liner pool: a pool made from breeze blocks or concrete whose impermeability is guaranteed by a PVC membrane called a liner.

The panel liner pool: the walls are designed from pre-constructed panels in steel, concrete or resin, which facilitate manufacture at a low cost. The floor is made from reinforced concrete. Once again, impermeability is guaranteed by a liner. The pool bottom is often in reinforced concrete.

These types of pools are ideal if you already have a completely flat plot at home. If the land is rather on a slope, the semi-inground pool will this time be simple to install. Often, it is made of wood.

If this type of pool has as an advantage the aesthetic side and adds more value to a house, it must not be forgotten that they have constraints:

The budget: for this type of pool, the budget is generally substantial. The price starts at 10,000 euros, and can increase more and more depending on the characteristics, equipment, and shapes as well as individual tastes.

The procedures: Pool models of more than 10 m² will require planning permission, and will also require a building permit. This will depend on the communes, so it is necessary to check with the town hall before starting work. A development tax could be requested. Inground pools are counted as annexes to the house. There may be an increase in council tax and housing tax, as they are considered as an improvement to the building as well as its rental value.

Finally, since 2004, the law requires all owners of inground pools to equip them with a secured device: a protective barrier or pool fence, an alarm, a secured pool cover or a shelter. This will of course generate additional costs.

II. Above ground pools:

In recent years, we have noticed that above ground pools are increasingly present in many homes. Here too, we find different types of pools:

The inflatable pool: it is the pool that is most used each summer, because its price is very reasonable, and everyone can afford this type of pool to cool down. Effective and easy to set up, because you only need to inflate the ring and fill it. It generally does not exceed 1.25 m in height and 6 m in diagonal. This type of pool remains quite small for swimming properly.

The tubular pool: it is relatively more expensive than the inflatable pool, the tubular pool is also more solid. An enormous “pocket” in PVC or polyester, the liner, forms the pool. If the height of this pool does not exceed 1.30 m, its length, on the other hand, can reach 10m, which allows several people to spend a pleasant moment, and to swim in a comfortable and comfortable way.

Wooden pools: they are often in treated autoclave pine or exotic wood, this type of pool lasts a long time, has a very nice aesthetic side and it is also very strong. No fear of it being damaged. It is often octagonal or hexagonal in shape, it can be slightly buried to develop stability.

The steel pool: It consists of a structure of walls in anti-corrosion lacquered steel and steel, its stability is guaranteed via steel struts and coping posts.

These pools are generally very easy to assemble, even if you sometimes need to plan one or two days for steel or wooden pools. Their height must not exceed 1.30 m. However, they do not require planning procedures. Some larger models require installation on a concrete slab. For the slab, planning permission may possibly be required. This once again depends on the communes. An advantage moreover: these above ground pools are not subject to tax, nor to the obligation of safety equipment. The pool is also demountable.

Which model should you choose?

There are no good or bad choices in choosing the pool you want. The choice is yours, and it depends only on your taste, preferences and budget. And the pool in question must meet your expectations and needs.
