How to choose a swimming pool in Geneva?

There are now many solutions on the market suitable for all terrains and surfaces. But before you take the plunge, it's important to think carefully about your investment and consider the shape, size, design, and budget required. Pool construction in Geneva: How to choose the right pool? Which structure should you opt for? We explain!

Choosing the right pool lining is essential, both from an aesthetic and technical point of view, as it ensures the pool is watertight. A distinction must be made between linings that are independent of the substrate , such as liners, reinforced PVC, polyester, or coatings, and linings that are dependent (which do not ensure the pool is watertight), such as tiles or paint.

Tailor-made pools, get exactly what you want

Whether indoor or outdoor, above ground or in-ground, covered or uncovered, you can choose a custom-made pool that is fully personalized to your tastes. Custom-made pools can also meet specific requirements, such as small spaces or unsuitable terrain.

A swimming pool is an integral part of your garden design. It should fit in as well as possible and, above all, you should like it. If you are looking for something unique that will fit perfectly into your space and is the right size. A custom-made pool is the ideal choice.

In-ground and semi-in-ground pools, a solution adapted to all types of land

A semi-inground pool is a good compromise between a traditional inground pool and an above-ground pool. A semi-inground pool is partially inground and partially above ground. Its "hybrid" structure allows it to be installed on sloping ground, for example, where it would not have been possible to dig a traditional inground pool. With a variety of sizes and shapes available, this type of pool will suit all families' needs and adapt perfectly to different types of terrain, whether sloping or difficult to access.

Indoor swimming pool, enjoy it all year round

The covered pool is enclosed and allows you to enjoy your pool for much longer than a so-called "classic" pool. An indoor pool can be a shell pool, an in-ground pool or even a semi in-ground pool. However, it is very rare to see covered above-ground pools, even if it is technically possible.

A pool cover has many advantages: it allows you to bathe for longer periods of time, for a whole season, or even all year round if you decide to install a heater. A pool cover limits the amount of dirt that settles on the surface of the water and therefore the need for cleaning. Last but not least, it provides safe access to the pool for adults and children.

Above ground pool, ideal for avoiding major earthworks

The principle of an above-ground pool, as its name indicates, is that it is not buried in the ground. As a result, it is easy to install because it does not require heavy earthworks, which considerably reduces its price.

If you are interested in this type of structure, we advise you to opt for an above-ground swimming pool in kit form. They are therefore more solid and more comfortable than inflatable pools, while being very affordable and easy to install in a garden.

Reinforced PVC pool, a configuration that suits all pools

The reinforced PVC membrane is suitable for all shapes and sizes of pools. Unlike a liner, which is a custom-made pocket, reinforced PVC membranes are welded in place. This means that they can be adapted to all pool shapes: freeform, swim lane, overflow pool. It has an average thickness of 150/100 and its characteristics make it a waterproof and pleasant to the touch pool liner. It has a longer lifespan than a traditional liner, from 15 to 20 years.

The reinforced PVC membrane ensures and guarantees total waterproofing for all swimming pools. It can be installed directly on any surface and can waterproof all types of pools. When it comes to renovation, this configuration is particularly recommended for repairing waterproofing problems in traditional pools with shells or in masonry and tiled pools.

This pool model has a beautiful finish. The membrane is available in various plain, printed or 3D printed colours. You can order the one you want.

Construction of a swimming pool in Geneva: what type of terrace to choose?

Swimming pool with terrace, a modern and friendly space

Designing a pool with a terrace has become a delicate art. How do you choose the right materials? Which accessories are best suited to my needs? Today, advances in technology make it possible to assemble equipment to create beautiful pools even in limited and difficult-to-access spaces.

Wooden decking for swimming pools, a natural and warm material

Wood is a very popular material for pool deck surrounds. It has the advantage of often being less expensive, easy to work with and having that natural look that will develop a grey patina over time. In addition, a wooden deck can be built on stilts, high above the ground. This is an ideal choice for sloping ground.

Wood remains a natural, warm material that offers beautiful possibilities for your custom-made pool. In addition, wood is a naturally non-slip material. This prevents falls on wet ground.

When it comes to laying a wooden deck, there are different grades of use for your deck. Wood is graded from 1 to 5 according to its water resistance! For a wooden deck, the use class used is generally class 4, as it can withstand prolonged or permanent dampness.

Pool decking, perfect finishes

Depending on your wishes, you can opt for resistant materials that require little maintenance, such as tiles. If you have children and you are afraid of falling on a slippery floor, then we recommend that you opt for composite wood, which is less hard than stone or tiles and will be more suitable for you.

Made up largely of natural mineral materials, stone is recyclable but also particularly resistant over time. In terms of design, its noble character is particularly appreciated by private individuals. In addition to a wide range of colours, stone terraces can be fitted with various accessories for a perfect finish to your pool.
