Concrete pools: skimmer, overflow or infinity

The shell is cast on site to fit your plot, and you choose the waterline: a skimmer pool, a brim-full overflow pool or an infinity edge that flows into the view. Form, steps and finish are drawn per project.

Three waterlines

The key design decision in a concrete pool is how the water meets the edge. A skimmer pool is the most economical; an overflow pool makes the surface a mirror; an infinity edge links the water to the view.

  • Skimmer · no balance tank
  • Overflow · grated channel and balance tank
  • Infinity · a spilling edge facing the view

When does concrete make sense?

For pools that don't fit standard sizes, need to blend with the architecture or will see heavy use. Overflow edges, built-in steps and special finishes can all be solved in one project.

  • Free-form plans and different depth zones
  • Mosaic, tile or liner finishes
  • Villas, residences and hotels

How it is built

After the site visit and measurements come the structural design, excavation, reinforcement and concrete. Then the pipework is pressure-tested, waterproofing and finish are applied and the plant room is installed.

  • Reinforcement and pipework checked before pouring
  • Pressure test to prove the system is watertight
  • Filling and commissioning after the finish

What creates the effect?

The edge alone doesn't do it. Pool level, the viewing point, the overflow channel and the balance tank that collects the water all work together — so we start by measuring the view and the slope.

  • The waterline seen from the main seating area
  • Slope, retaining walls and drainage
  • Wind direction and safe walking areas
The right model

When to choose a concrete pool

  • You want no limits on size or shape
  • You want an overflow or infinity edge
  • You are thinking of mosaic, ceramic or stone
  • You are building for a residence, hotel or large shared pool

To be honest: Concrete pools can crack and leak over the years, and repairs mean breaking out and re-finishing, so they are expensive. A liner finish inside reduces the risk. On cost it comes after panel-liner, and the price rises with size.

FAQ

Common questions

Do concrete pools leak?

Not with a good structural design, waterproofing and workmanship. Over the years, though, settling ground, cracks or tired waterproofing can cause leaks, and repairs mean breaking out and re-finishing, which is costly. To avoid that risk, choose a liner finish inside, a panel-liner pool or a container pool that is leak-tight for life.

How long does a concrete pool take?

Around 6–10 weeks. The exact schedule depends on excavation, finish and equipment, and is set out in writing in the quote.

What finish goes on the inside?

Mosaic, tiles or a liner. We choose together based on looks, maintenance expectations and budget.

Can it have an overflow edge?

Yes. A concrete shell suits single- or multi-edge overflow systems; the balance tank and pipework are planned from the start.

What's the difference between overflow and infinity?

In an overflow pool water spills into a channel on one or more edges. Infinity describes a spilling edge that faces the view and seems to merge with the horizon.

Do I need a sloping plot?

No. A slope strengthens the effect, but overflow systems work on flat plots too; for the infinity look the viewing angle matters.
