We have over five negative edge pools with built in catch basins, although all of our models can be custom made with these features. Check out our NEWEST ADDITION The Sydney Spa, which is a Full perimeter overflow spa. On of our newest additions to our Vanishing edge line of fiberglass pools.
Vanishing edge fiberglass pools, often referred to as infinity pools or negative edge pools, are designed to create the illusion that the water extends seamlessly into the horizon, giving a stunning visual effect. These pools can be an attractive addition to any landscape, offering both aesthetic appeal and a unique swimming experience.
Design: The defining characteristic of a vanishing edge pool is its design, where one or more walls are lower than the water level. This creates a beautiful visual effect as the water appears to cascade over the edge.
Features of Vanishing Edge Fiberglass Pools
Material: Fiberglass pools are pre-manufactured from molded fiberglass. This material is known for its smooth surface, durability, low maintenance requirements, and easy installation.
Installation: Fiberglass pools typically have a faster installation time compared to concrete pools. The vanishing edge feature requires careful planning and construction to ensure proper drainage and aesthetics. Custom pools like this need a catch basin in order for the process to work. San Juan Pools makes a line of Infinity pools that are one piece including the waterproof catch basin.
Water Features: Many vanishing edge pools include additional water features, such as waterfalls or fountains, which can enhance their visual appeal and create soothing sounds.
Customizable: While there are standard models available, many fiberglass pools can be customized in terms of size, shape, and features to fit individual preferences and landscapes. If you see a San Juan Pool that isn't a vanishing edge, but you would like it to be one. We can customize it!
Maintenance: One of the significant advantages of fiberglass pools is their low maintenance needs. The smooth surface reduces algae growth, and chemical maintenance can be more manageable.
Considerations
Cost: Vanishing edge pools can be more expensive than traditional pool designs due to their complexity and the engineering required for proper drainage and aesthetics. A lot of that complexity is due to the building of a separate watertight catch basin. But with a San Juan Infinity pool the catch basin is one piece and integrated into the pool. Thats where you save, and the install is simplified.
Site Requirements: The pool must be built on level ground or a property that can support the necessary drainage system for the vanishing edge to function correctly.
Regulations: It’s essential to check local building codes and regulations, as they can differ significantly between regions, particularly for designs that feature unique elements like vanishing edges.
Safety: Safety features, such as proper fencing and pool covers, should be considered, particularly in homes with children or pets.
Conclusion
Vanishing edge fiberglass pools can be a stunning focal point in your backyard, providing both beauty and functionality. They enhance outdoor living spaces and can create a luxurious ambiance. If you’re considering adding one to your property, working with experienced pool builders and designers is crucial to ensure the pool is not only beautiful but also safe and well-constructed. Incorporating a San Juan Fiberglass Pool will not only give you the effects of an infinity pool but make the vanishing edge paradise you are dreaming of a reality!
