Basin choices of Living Pools

All about pool types & materials for natural pools

The choice of pool basin surfaces for natural pools is diverse. Natural pools focus on a modern, clean-lined design, with aesthetic and ecological aspects playing an important role. Common materials include foil, polypropylene, exposed concrete, granite and stainless steel. Each material offers unique advantages and can vary depending on budget and construction time.

Biotop Living Pool with blue liner surface as waterproofing

Liner waterproofing

The liner surface is the most commonly used method for living pools. A concrete pool is constructed on site and waterproofing is carried out using a tear-resistant, UV-resistant FPO (flexible polyolefin) liner or PVC liner. Pool liners ranging from bluish grey tones to dark, almost black anthracite tones are particularly popular. The timeless classics, blue-grey, graphite grey, granite grey and anthracite give every pool an elegant touch.

Granite Kusserpool with integrated Biotop technology

Kusser granite pool

Granite prefabricated pools from Kusser impress with their material and construction, which make both in-ground and freestanding pools possible. The high quality construction ensures aesthetic surfaces without joints and allows the pool to be customised. All components are made from local granite, which not only makes the pool visually appealing, but also increases its durability and robustness. After a short construction period, the pool is delivered directly to your garden.

Biotop Living Pool pool built from exposed concrete

Architectural concrete

Exposed concrete pools offer a raw, natural aesthetic and blend harmoniously into modern architecture. The individual colouring of the concrete creates a unique atmosphere that makes the pool a special eye-catcher in your garden. Fair-faced concrete is characterised by its high compressive strength and robustness, which makes it a durable choice for a natural pool.


 

Prefabricated pool

The Living Pool can also be supplied as a prefabricated pool, which is delivered as a whole. This construction method has numerous advantages that make it an extremely attractive option. The short construction time, the perfect surfaces and the long service life of the pool are particularly noteworthy. Another advantage is the ease of cleaning. The smooth surfaces of the prefabricated pool make it easier to remove deposits and ensure that the water remains permanently clear and clean.

The prefabricated pool is made from robust polypropylene sheets, a material characterised by high stability, durability and resistance. Production takes place directly at the manufacturer's premises, where the pools are manufactured precisely to the dimensions required by the customer. Overall, the prefabricated pool is a modern, practical and durable solution that is ideal for the construction of natural pools and fulfils the highest demands.
