CONCRETE POOLS – WHY THEY ARE A PREMIUM CHOICE FOR MODERN HOMES

A concrete swimming pool is one of the most durable, stable, and architecturally flexible solutions you can build in a private home or outdoor leisure area. It is not just a place for swimming – a concrete pool becomes an architectural element that is fully customizable to your home’s design, garden style, and your personal needs.

In this article, we explain:

- why concrete pools are highly sought-after in Latvia,

- how the construction process works,

- the main advantages,

- and how concrete pools compare to composite (fiberglass) pools.

Why Choose a Concrete Pool?

Fully Customizable Size and Shape

Unlike composite pools with fixed factory-made molds, a concrete pool allows you to create absolutely anything:

- a rectangular pool

- an infinity pool

- an L-shaped pool

- pools with multiple depth zones

- unique custom shapes

- integrated steps, benches, or seating areas

- very large pools — even 10–20+ meters long

There are no limits — only your architect’s vision and your personal preferences.

Extremely Durable Structure (50+ Years of Lifespan)

Concrete pools offer one of the strongest constructions available:

- resistant to ground movement

- withstands freeze–thaw cycles

- supports large water volumes

-unaffected by UV and temperature fluctuations

This is a long-term investment — often a lifetime pool.

High-Quality Waterproofing and Finishes

Plungo concrete pools are:

- reinforced

- poured as a monolithic structure

- waterproofed using professional 2–3 layer systems

- finished with ceramic tiles, mosaic, stone, or membrane liners

This ensures safety, premium visual quality, and easy maintenance.

Ideal for Complex Terrains and Custom Landscaping

Composite pools require a specific space and access for installation.
Concrete pools do not.

Concrete pools can be built:

- on slopes,

- next to terraces,

- around corners of the house,

- around trees or natural features,

- in locations where a prefabricated pool cannot be physically delivered.

Elegant Design + Premium Property Value

Concrete pools are the most popular choice for luxury homes, villas, and SPA-style properties.

They significantly:

- increase property value,- 

- transform the garden into a centerpiece,

- create a calming, spa-like atmosphere.

How a Concrete Pool Is Built

1. Project Planning

We design the shape, dimensions, depth, pipework, and technical room.

2. Excavation and Base Preparation

A precise excavation is made, including technical channels.

3. Reinforcement and Monolithic Concrete Pouring

Steel reinforcement + concrete layers create a solid, long-lasting structure.

4. Waterproofing

Multiple professional waterproofing layers are applied.

5. Finishing

Tiles, ceramic surfaces, stonework, mosaic, or PVC membrane.

6. Installation of Filtration, Heating, and Lighting Systems

The pool is calibrated, tested, and prepared for use.
