Five ways to your perfect pool house

Considering adding a pool house onto your property? Or looking at replacing an existing pool house? We have put together five things to consider when looking at a pool house.

Consider the space you have available for your pool house.

Adding or replacing a pool house on your property can be a big decision. It can take a lot of time to consider suppliers for your pool house and more time to have it constructed. A new pool house can be as big or small as you want it to be.

Your pool house can include other features such as Jacuzzi’s, saunas and steam rooms. When designing your pool house ensure that you take into consideration the other uses for the space. A pool house which is too big will cost you a lot of money and leave you with wasted space which you don’t use. A pool house which is too small can leave you cramped and unhappy with the structure.

Glass or brick?

Consider the look and feel that you want for your pool house. The style and age of your property will help you to decide which materials to use and which style you want for your pool house. Glass is a popular choice with all British pool houses. It generates the feeling of the pool being outside, even when the weather isn’t so good. Adding brick to the design can allow the pool house to blend in with the original property.

Apropos design and manufacture glass and aluminium pool houses which are bespoke to suit any project. They are able to create a pool house designed completely out of glass and aluminium or can create a orangery effect pool house by using their roof lights and folding sliding doors.

Think outside the box

Create a pool house which is unique to your property and suits your lifestyle. If you are just considering a standard extension building as your pool house try using features such as folding sliding doors and roof lights to make a different space to that of your neighbours.

Using folding sliding doors on your pool house can allow you to bring the outside in. It also means that you can open your pool house in the summer and make it feel like the pool is outside.

Roof lights can be added to any new or existing pool house. A roof light can allow more light into your pool house and can include electric vents for ventilation. Additional features such as these can make your pool house unique and practical.

Glass pool houses

Using glass in your pool house design can have many advantages. The additional light that it provides means that you won’t need to use as much electricity on lighting. The double glazing has thermally efficient properties which save on heating bills.

Glass is available in many different options which can provide benefits to our pool house. Priva-lite glass changes from clear glass to frosted glass at the push of a button. Glass is available tinted, in many different colours to provide privacy for your pool house.

Pool house suppliers

Finally consider your pool house suppliers carefully. Ensure that they have experience in designing and building pool houses. Don’t be afraid to ask to see examples of their work.
