MOVING SWIMMING POOL FLOOR FAQ's
Crafting Innovative Spaces
01
WHAT ARE MOVABLE POOL FLOORS?
The moving pool floors, also called movable floors or lifting pool floors, are platforms that make it possible to adjust pool depth as needed. They harness hydraulic technology to make both indoor and outdoor pools deeper or shallower, depending on use. Movable floors are used to turn pools into multipurpose spaces: aquatic facilities can be turned into a deck, a stage, or a recreational area (among many other possible activities) when the platform is raised.
03
DO YOU ONLY DO THE MOVING POOL FLOORS OR DO YOU ALSO BUILD THE POOLS?
We are swimming pool designers by qualification, so if it is a brand new pool we will design the pool and movable floor as a package, but if you are working with a swimming pool contractor we will be happy to work alongside and do just what is needed from us. If the site is in or around London, we can also undertake the entire design, supply, and installation of the swimming pool equipment package including the heating & ventilation for the indoor swimming pools. We do not undertake the builders work associated with the pool as it's usually the main contractor who does that, but our installation partners AQUA SPAZIO can assist you in the pool build, waterproofing and finishing.
05
HOW MUCH WEIGHT CAN THE MOVING FLOOR TAKE?
The load capacity of Rolling Decks and Suspended Floors is 100kg/sqm so for an 8m X 4m pool size it will be over 3 metric tonnes or about 30 good-feeling people standing on top. For Floating Floors, when installed with locking pins, it can be up to 200kg/sqm or double of Suspended Floors.
02
WHO NEEDS MOVABLE POOL FLOORS?
Anyone who wants to maximise the space in their home, wants a secure pool that is impossible to access by children or pets when closed, wants to transform the pool area for social occasions, wants the pool covered by a hardcover to have space for events or just someone who wants to save energy, water and the environment.
04
WHAT FINISH CAN I HAVE ON MY MOVING POOL FLOOR?
The answer is fairly straightforward, for the Rolling Pool Decks and the Suspended Pool Floors, the only finish available is marine-grade timber or composite decking. On the floating floors that are our most popular design for brand new pools, you can have composite deck included within the price, or for the same price, we can supply and install the floor with stainless steel trays on top ready to be tiled by others using tiles no more than 10mm thick. On the other three types of floors, you can have pretty much whatever you want, decking, tiles, pavings, or even cobblestones if you fancy....!
06
HOW LONG FROM POOL TO DANCE FLOOR?
No more than a few minutes:
About 3 minutes for the Rolling Decks.
Less than 5 minutes for Movable Floors up to 1.80m maximum depth of the pool.
Up to 10 minutes for deeper pools
