Building a custom pool is an exciting investment for you and your family. From choosing its shape and size to picking the perfect color and materials, your pool will become the focal point of your outdoor space, helping to unify family and friends to enjoy the heat of the sunshine in cool, refreshing lapping water and the company of those dearest to us. Therefore, it’s important that you design a pool that perfectly meets your requirements and specifications, and Creative Master Pools will be able to help.
Currently, freeform and geometric pools are among the most popular pool shapes, with both designs offering exceptional functionality and stunning finishes that promote nothing but luxury lifestyle and ultimate relaxation. For those who would like to splash out further, tanning ledges can be seamlessly incorporated into the design, together with beautiful steps and flawless finishes in a variety of different colors and materials.
In this article, we’ll be explaining the difference between freeform and geometric pools, ensuring your luxury swimming pool is perfect for your needs.
Geometric pools
Geometric pools are available in an array of different shapes, including:
- Rectangle
- Oval
- Square
- Shapes with straight edges and definitive lines and/or angles
Geometric pools are excellent for transforming your backyard into a formal, or contemporary outdoor living space that can be enjoyed by all. Typically, geometric pools are rectangular, so you can have an early morning swim, then cool down and relax in your luxury swimming pool.
Autocovers can also be installed on geometric pools. This ensures that your geometric pool is covered at all times with the help of a locking system, for absolute peace of mind. Not only will this help increase safety around your pool, but it will also prevent bugs and debris from contaminating your pool.
Autocovers also improve energy efficiency, reducing the amount of heat that could potentially be lost, as well as preventing evaporation. This can be beneficial as evaporation often causes the extraction of heat, water, and chemicals which keep your pool healthy.
Benefits of geometric pools
Whether you’re a competitive or casual swimmer, or simply wish to lay back in the heat of the summer sun in a beautiful, luxury geometric pool, they remain an excellent, popular choice.
Benefits of a geometric pool are:
- Straightforward to build
- Suitable for swimmers of different abilities
- Perfect for installing a tanning ledge
- Ideal for adding a vanishing edge
- Cost-effective
- Seamlessly complements the architecture of a house
- Can be formal or contemporary
- Opportunity for decorative finishes such as mosaics
- Easy to add an autocover
- Great for the easy addition of symmetrically layered entryways
Freeform pools
Freeform pools are in direct contrast to geometric pools. With a curvilinear form, freeform pools are not available in standard shapes and don’t follow strict, structural rules. Freeform pools are perfect for those who have a small, compact backyard, as it has the ability to flawlessly curve around your available space to create a tranquil, relaxing oasis regardless of how big or small your yard is.
Providing a beautiful, lagoon-style feel, stunning landscape design opportunities, and breathtaking pool features can further enhance the look of your pool, creating an incredibly luxurious space for everyone to enjoy.
