Classic Concrete Pool

A classic / traditional concrete pool, also known as a shotcrete pool, is the most popular choice for homeowners who desire a simple, durable, long-lasting swimming pool. The key aspects of a classic concrete pool include:

Construction Process: Traditional concrete pools are built using a process that involves spraying concrete (known as gunite or shotcrete) onto a steel-reinforced framework. This method allows for flexibility in shape, size, and design, as the concrete can be moulded to fit specific requirements.

  1. Durability and Longevity: Concrete pools are known for their durability and longevity. The solid structure, reinforced with steel bars, provides strength and stability, allowing the pool to withstand various environmental conditions and ground movements. With proper maintenance and care, a well-built concrete pool can last for several decades.

  2. Customisation: One of the primary advantages of a traditional concrete pool is its ability to be fully customised. Homeowners have the freedom to create a pool of their desired shape, size, and depth. This extends to features such as integrated spas, waterfalls, swim-up bars, and other design elements that enhance the pool's aesthetic and functionality.

  3. Aesthetics: Traditional concrete pools offer a visually appealing and luxurious look. They can be finished with a variety of materials, such as tiles and glass bead plaster to create a stunning feature. The versatility in design options allows homeowners to match their pool's aesthetic with their outdoor space and personal style.

  4. Water Features and Additions: Concrete pools provide ample opportunities to incorporate water features, such as cascading waterfalls, water jets, or bubblers. These additions can enhance the pool's ambiance, create a soothing atmosphere, and contribute to a more enjoyable swimming experience.

  5. Maintenance and Repairs: Concrete pools may require more maintenance compared to other pool types. Regular upkeep includes cleaning, water chemistry balancing, and occasional resurfacing or retiling.
