Stunning Remodelled Pool

with Automatic Safety Cover

The project

This project involved upgrading an existing fiberglass swimming pool with an automatic safety cover and full glass mosaic tile interior. Our clients wanted to enhance the safety and aesthetics of their pool. A key requirement was to make the pool safe with an automatic cover. They also needed to upgrade the existing fiberglass coated interior to a full glass mosaic tiled interior, while retaining the kidney shaped pool design.

To meet their needs, we implemented a comprehensive solution. Our proprietary “Beaching” system was used to allow the automatic pool cover to be stored in the ground within a chamber and run under coping tracks. By creating a beach entry area around the irregular kidney shaped pool, it enabled the cover to operate smoothly on the water’s surface.

The old fiberglass interior was removed and replaced with stunning Ibiza 23.5mm iridescent glass mosaics. Sky blue tiles were used to provide an elegant finish for the waterline tile band and step edges. Existing skimmer and light components were re-routed to accommodate the new interior layout, achieved by supplying a new surface water skimmer to the extended pool side.

The automatic cover installed is a hydraulically fed Certikin Coverstar model operated from the pool filter room. We are one of the very few companies with specialised expertise to perform this type of reshaping work to seamlessly integrate new automatic safety covers to existing swimming pools.

The project was a resounding success. The clients are absolutely delighted with the outcome – a beautifully remodelled pool featuring a striking glass mosaic tiled interior and the added safety of an automatic cover system.
