Piscine inox hors sol sur un toit-terrasse à Saint-Tropez, terrasse en bois et gazon

Saint-Tropez: a one-piece stainless steel pool craned onto a roof terrace overlooking the gulf

Q: Peut-on installer une piscine sur un toit-terrasse ?

Oui, si la structure du bâtiment supporte la charge. Une étude de structure vérifie la faisabilité avant tout projet.

Q: Comment une piscine inox arrive-t-elle sur un toit ?

Selon l’accès, le bassin est livré entier puis gruté ou héliporté, ou bien assemblé sur place à partir d’éléments.

Q: Pourquoi l’inox pour une piscine en rooftop ?

L’inox est léger, autoportant et étanche. Il convient aux toitures où un bassin béton serait trop lourd.

Q: Une piscine inox peut-elle rester hors sol ?

Oui. Les parois en inox brossé peuvent rester apparentes, ou être habillées de bois, de pierre ou de verre.

Q: Quel traitement de l’eau pour une piscine inox ?

Le chlore, l’oxygène actif et les UV conviennent. L’électrolyse au sel n’est pas compatible avec nos bassins inox.

Saint-Tropez: a stainless steel pool craned onto a rooftop in one piece, overlooking the bay

Saint-Tropez, Var
6 min read

Location: Rooftop of a residence in Saint-Tropez (83)
Client type: Private individual
Project: Stainless steel 316L infinity pool, installed above ground on a rooftop
Timeline: Craned in July 2020, photos of the completed pool in October 2020
Features: Pool shell manufactured in one piece in our workshop, transported by special-needs convoy, craned onto the roof, with exposed stainless steel walls

In Saint-Tropez, Steel and Style installed a stainless steel pool on a rooftop overlooking the bay. The pool shell was manufactured entirely in our workshops, delivered by special-needs convoy, and installed by crane in a single day.

A pool shell manufactured entirely in our workshop

The pool was assembled and welded in our workshops: self-supporting stainless steel structure, 316L stainless steel sheets, integrated plumbing. It left the factory in one piece, ready to install.

Manufacturing in our workshop means working in a controlled environment, to the millimeter, and reducing the on-site construction period to just a few days.

The crane installation, one day in July 2020

A mobile crane was installed in the residence's parking lot. The pool shell was lifted, swung over the gardens, and then lowered onto the prepared location on the rooftop.

This installation method is possible because a stainless steel pool is light compared to a concrete pool. Our rooftop pool: feasibility, loads and technical constraints guide details the points to check before a rooftop project.

An above-ground pool with stainless steel walls

The pool shell is installed above ground. Its brushed stainless steel walls remain exposed and create a clean volume on the terrace, between the wooden decking and the lawn.
