More customization for pools

According to members of the trade, 2016 turned out to be their best year over the past decade. It is estimated that there are now close on 2 million private pools in France - a record !


Keeping a close eye on constantly changing demand, professionals in the pool sector compete in imagination to meet consumer requirements, as witnessed by innovations just presented at the 11th edition of the "Trophées de la Piscine et du Spa" held by the FPP ("Fédération des Professionnels de la Piscine").

Topping the bill, the customized pool is increasingly popular. Nowadays, home-owners are no longer discouraged by small gardens, difficult terrain, or even a limited amount of sunshine. Pool specialists such as Idoine Piscines and Excel Piscines - the expert for original shells - propose a considerable number of new made-to-measure structures, which also suit all kinds of budgets.
Other strong trends include physical training and the quest for well-being. Specialized equipment suppliers such as Waterform design packs comprised of aquabikes, dumb-bells and aquatic trampolines. Once reserved for professional athletes, these items are now available to the general public.

The pool can also be adapted to an urban home, as demonstrated by the angular pool signed Diffazur which won the Gold Trophy in the urban pool category. Lap pools built of reinforced concrete (Gunite) are meeting with real success and can sometimes even be incorporated into the roof or terrace of a contemporary villa. As for colours, black and anthracite grey are extremely trendy and highly esthetic.
