Features And Options
Our swimming pool designs and features have come a long way since
we built our first swimming pool ! Today, Piscinas Lapitec offers
a wide array of unique and exciting features for your pool. Select
from the drop-down list below to learn more about some of these options!
Edge Pools
Piscinas Lapitec is proud to have pioneered one of today’s
most popular and visually stunning pool features. Any of these
unique water features will help transform your swimming pool
into an elegant backyard resort.
Waterfalls, Fountains & Other Water Features
Our attention to detail is one of the things that sets us apart
from other pool builders. We know that your swimming pool should
be more than just functional – it
should add interest and beauty to your backyard. Incorporating a water feature,
such as a waterfall or fountain, into your pool’s design can help accomplish
this.
Water features come in many different styles.
It’s common
to see a raised spa that pours over some type of spillway into the
pool below. You might also consider a bubbling fountain rising from
a step or shallow pool, water spouts arching water across the pool’s
surface, or a dramatic waterfall constructed of rock and surrounded
by lush landscaping elements. Any of these unique water features
will help transform your swimming pool into an elegant backyard
resort.
Rock Features
The use of natural and/or manmade rock can have a dramatic effect
on your swimming pool design. From simple pebble work in a wall
or deck to dramatic boulders flanking a pool or defining a waterfall,
the use of rocks helps to create the kind of serene and breathtaking
atmosphere you’d find in nature. Possibilities
for incorporating rock into your swimming pool design are endless.
Beach
Entries and Baja Steps
Historically, swimming pool entries were basically all the same: three or
four small steps leading down into the “shallow end” of the pool. But
today, many homeowners are enjoying a more “natural” design, such
as a “beach entry.” Much like a beach that gradually descends
into the ocean waves, a beach entry pool features a deck that gently slopes
beneath the surface of the water and becomes increasingly deep as you move
forward.
Some pool owners are also incorporating a “baja step” into
their pool. This is simply a large rounded step, generally only
a few inches to a foot or so deep, that allows swimmers and loungers
alike to dabble in the water without becoming entirely immersed.
