Pool Build & Installation
Building a swimming pool is a major investment, we have a wealth of experience of building all types of luxury swimming pools so you can be rest assured our professional team will execute your ideas successfully on time and on budget.
Pool Build Process Stage 1
Constructing Your Pool Shell
We will initially confirm the finish floor level for your home or commercial indoor swimming pool.
We will use this as our datum in conjunction with construction drawings to set out swimming pool dimensions.
Once the exact size and positioning requirements have been confirmed, your contractor will excavate the feature space in preparation for your swimming pool build.
Shuttering & Steel Reinforcement
Our team will build a temporary shutter system from plywood, which will form four insulating walls for the pool walls and floor.
Then we’ll create a steel-reinforced cage based on structural design calculations for your pool. The shutter system provides structural reinforcement for the pool shell.
Pool Build Process Stage 2
Curing of Concrete
From project start to completion, the build and construction of your swimming pool shell will take between 2 and 5 weeks, depending on the dimensions and complexity of pool design.
Once the shell is completed, we’ll leave it to cure for a minimum of 4 weeks.
While the shell is curing, we’ll install pipework from the pool to the plant room.
Fittings & Lights
Once the pool is cured, the holes for the fittings are drilled through the concrete shell. This gives the specified fittings and light niches the most secure water tight fitting. These can include:
- Pipe fittings
- Sumps
- Vacuum fittings
- Skimmers
- Return water inlets
- Advanced filtration systems
- Colour changing LED lighting
Pool Build Process Stage 3
Waterproof Coating
The next stage of the swimming pool build is to waterproof the steel re-inforced shotcrete pool shell.
A waterproofing membrane consisting of a tough synthetic HDPE sheet, with an adhesive side covered by a pressure-sensitive protective coating; when it comes into contact with concrete, it guarantees a tough, strong bond with the placed concrete itself (fully bonded). This composition guarantees that, when the sheet comes into contact with the placed concrete, the membrane forms a tough bond with the placed concrete.
Finally, a waterproof tanking coating system is applied prior to fixing ceramic tiles using an appropriate adhesive. Guaranteeing a 10 Year Structural Guarantee to BS EN 1992-1-1.
Tiling & Copings
Upon completion of a drop test (filling the pool to check for leaks), the pool will be given time to dry before finishing with final fittings and tiling.
Your luxury swimming pool will then be tiled to your tile design choice of material, color and pattern. We work with the best tile manufacturers in the world to provide you with an extensive range of options for your pool. From classic blue mosaic tiles, porcelain, glass and stone tiles, as well as bespoke creations and heritage collections.
We can even apply your bespoke personal design to make your luxury swimming pool unique to you.
Pool Build Process Stage 4
Heat & Ventilation
While your pool shell is being tiled, we’ll begin the primary phase of your heating and ventilation system. It’s important to regulate air temperature and humidity in your indoor pool space. That’s why we carry out HAVC work, ensuring that the air is healthy and recirculated correctly.
Ventilation and heating systems involve the installation of ductwork. Depending on the pool design, it will be in the ceiling void, under the floor or even both.
Pool Filtration & Water Management
To ensure you are swimming in drinking water our state of the art filtration systems, pumps, dosing equipment and inter-connecting pipework are installed to give crystal clear water.
Your luxury swimming pool build project is finished by filling the pool with our drinking water quality pool water.
We use Dryden Aqua integrated water systems to remove toxic chlorine by-products and ensure that your pool water is consistently clean for the perfect swimming environment.
I'd like to thank all the team at Chemsol for their hard work and diligence during our pool build. In particular, our project manager Matt was great and helped bring the project together. Most importantly our kids love their new pool, as do all their friends!
Pool Construction Types
Luxury Commercial Pools
Concrete swimming pools are an extremely strong pool construction and are built using reinforced steel rods to form the shape of the pool. This is then sprayed with concrete to form the pool shell. This is then tanked for waterproofing and finished with render. Chosen tiles are then applied to the smooth render for a high end finish.
It is the ultimate in bespoke luxury and is traditionally what people think of when considering a pool construction.
NIVEKO Home Pools
A "mono pool" such as NIVEKO is also known as a "one piece" pool because they are factory-made and usually delivered in one piece. Larger sized pools are delivered in sections and are welded on site.
They are pre-assembled, with all the optional finishes such as invisible skimmers, underwater lighting, jets, steps and a cover cave are pre-manufactured in the factory and delivered complete to site, ready for installation.
Stainless Pools
Our luxury stainless steel pools are exceptionally designed with impeccable craftsmanship. A luxurious pool option for inspiring projects throughout the UK.
Architects love it for its design flexibility. Owners love it for its durability, elegance and easy maintenance. When it comes to swimming pools, stainless steel consistently outperforms and outlasts other materials, making it the best in class.
