FAQs

Steel And Style Answers Your Questions

Why choose stainless steel for my swimming pool or spa?

Stainless steel is an extremely durable, corrosion-resistant and easy-to-maintain material. It also offers a unique aesthetic appearance, with a mirror effect that enhances the water.

How much does a stainless steel and glass pool or spa cost compared to a traditional pool?

Stainless steel and glass pools are often considered high-end. The higher cost is due to the materials used, specific engineering and skilled labor. However, their durability and aesthetics make them a highly valued investment in the long run.

What is the difference between glass and PMMA (acrylic)?

Glass offers superior transparency and scratch resistance, while PMMA (or acrylic) is lighter and can be more easily shaped (especially for curved shapes). Both materials are suitable for aquatic use, depending on the desired aesthetic and style.

Is glass strong enough for a pool or spa?

Yes. The glass used for submerged walls (often laminated glass or tempered glass) is specially designed to withstand water pressure and shocks, while maintaining optimum transparency.

Isn't the glass likely to scratch easily?

Special pool glass is usually treated and hardened to resist scratches. However, as with any glass surface, it is best to avoid abrasive objects when cleaning.

Does stainless steel heat up faster than other materials?

Stainless steel conducts heat evenly. Water temperature may rise faster or remain at that temperature longer, but a good heating and insulation system is recommended for optimum efficiency.

What are the maintenance precautions for a stainless steel swimming pool?

A simple regular cleaning with clear water and the use of products suitable for stainless steel are sufficient. It is advisable to check the chemical balance of the water (pH, chlorine, etc.) to avoid limescale or residue deposits.

Is it possible to have stainless steel and glass walls at the same time?

Absolutely! The transparent walls integrate very well with a main stainless steel structure, to create windows or partitions offering an exceptional view of the inside of the pool.

Can I completely customize the design (size, shapes, finishes)?

Yes. Stainless steel and glass are particularly versatile materials that lend themselves to custom designs. You can thus create a unique project, adapted to your desires and the architecture of your space.

Do stainless steel and glass swimming pools require specific building permits?

As with any pool construction, it is necessary to inquire with the town hall or local authorities. The rules vary depending on the size of the pool and the regulations in force in your municipality.
