A natural stone pool for more elegance in your garden
Every garden owner dreams of having their own pool to cool off in during the summer. The choice is huge - there are pools in a wide variety of shapes, built with different materials. At stone4you, we offer the planning and installation of outdoor pools made of natural stone, whereby each swimming pool is unique.
Not only do natural stones have unique properties, they also give every garden that certain something. When the sun hits the water and the natural stone underneath, a unique play of colors is created every time, reflecting naturalness and elegance. If the natural stone from your swimming pool is then also found on the patio in the patio slabs and tiles, a harmonious overall picture is created in the garden.
Are you interested in a natural stone pool for your garden? At stone4you, we offer you a large selection, lots of ideas and comprehensive advice for outdoor pools made of natural stone - simply contact us. Contact us on.
A natural stone pool is a pool that is completely or partially lined with natural stone. A variety of features can be incorporated - massage jets, stone loungers or even light sources under the water. The individual touch can be defined by a pool surround and matching patio slabs and tiles.
In contrast to the classic outdoor pool, which is lined with a prefabricated plastic pool, the natural stone pool is first poured with concrete. The concrete shell is then lined with slabs or tiles made of natural stone. Lining with porcelain stoneware or mosaic is also possible, but the use of natural stone offers unique advantages. The process behind the construction of a natural stone pool is altogether more complex, but the final result has a higher quality and more natural look than a classic pool.
Due to the production process, the natural stone pool can be cast in a wide variety of shapes. Whether skimmer pool, overflow pool or infinity pool - your new natural stone pool will adapt to your needs, your terrace and your garden.
At stone4you, we offer you a large selection of different natural stones. We use natural stone in the form of slabs or tiles. Porcelain stoneware is also often used for pools. However, unlike granite or slate, for example, this well-known raw material is not a 1001TP3 natural product, but is produced industrially. Porcelain stoneware imitates natural stone deceptively realistically - but if you want to build a pool from real natural stone and enjoy the benefits, you should choose between the following types of stone:
Our number one choice for building a pool is granite. The natural stone is highly resistant, has a robust structure, is resistant to water and chlorine and retains its unique shine for a long time. Granite is also visually appealing - the shimmering elements in the natural stone are enhanced by contact with water and the sun's rays, meaning your pool will impress with its uniqueness. Tip: An impressive example of the use of granite in swimming pools is the Valser Therme (architect: Peter Zumthor). If you are considering using granite, you can get an idea of its effect here.
Similar to granite, quartzite is an ideal stone for your new natural stone swimming pool. Quartzite is formed under high pressure and temperature, which changes the quartz grains it contains. The formation of the natural stone makes quartzite one of the finest and purest natural stones - it is hard-wearing and resistant to weathering and wear. The ideal stone for your new swimming pool, but also for patios and terrace slabs.
Unfortunately, not all natural stones are suitable for a pool - many natural stones do not behave optimally in constant contact with water. These include, for example, many limestones or marble - limescale builds up over time and is deposited in the water. Sandstone is a wonderful natural stone for many different applications, but unfortunately not for use in the pool, as efflorescence can form on the stone after a while. The well-known natural stone travertine also has its advantages and disadvantages if you plan to line your pool with it.
Let us advise you - we are your natural stone experts and will support you with creative ideas for planning and building your new natural stone pool.
Although not every natural stone can be used for your new pool, natural stones such as granite and quartzite offer a number of advantages over porcelain stoneware, including for your terrace and patio slabs.
Due to the unique composition of natural stones such as granite and quartzite, the stone offers the great advantage of being non-slip. With the right surface treatment, natural stone offers enough grip in and around the pool, as well as for the patio.
Who needs a pool heater when natural stone is the perfect heat accumulator? Once the sun shines on your new swimming pool, it heats up to a pleasant temperature and retains this heat for a long time. The ability to store heat also makes it possible to swim in a natural stone swimming pool in the fall or spring.
Natural stones such as granite or quartzite, which are formed under high pressure and temperature, are also resistant to environmental influences. They are unaffected by constant contact with water. At the same time, cleaning a pool made of natural stone saves a lot of time, as granite and quartzite can be brushed off quickly and easily.
Natural stone offers a natural look - that's obvious. Anyone who has ever enjoyed the sparkle of natural stone under water combined with sunlight knows what we are talking about. Every natural stone is unique, which means that every natural stone swimming pool can be individually and uniquely tailored to you and your needs. Leave the planning to us and coordinate your swimming pool with your patio slabs and the rest of your garden.
