Knife-Edge Pools

A mirror-surface effect is created as the pool’s water flows into a slot edge running along the pool’s perimeter.

Pebbled Finishes

Aggregate finishes are also one of the top trends in luxury pool design for 2015. One of the hottest of these finishes found in high-end swimming pools is the pebbled finish. This popular technique uses an aggregate material lining the pool rather than the traditional gunite surface. And not to worry, today’s pebbled finishes are easy on your feet. These aggregate finishes are also very durable, beautiful to view, and the tiny polished pebbles gleam in the sunlight.
