Design & Computer Generated Images (CGI)From your initial enquiry to the moment you take the plunge for the first time, you will find our service matches the quality of our pools every inch of the way. After an amazing showroom experience and initial consultation to agree budgetary figures, we produce concepts for the project in the form of CAD drawings. We then consult with you and fine tune until you are completely satisfied and have approved every detail.

There is then the option for us to produce a Computer Generated Image so you can visualise everything perfectly with photorealistic images of how your project will look. Once you give your final approval you can be sure your dream pool will be built to award winning standards.

Lighting & Ceiling EffectsOur expert designers use specialist lighting and ceiling effects to improve the overall

impact of the development. Clever use of lighting above and surrounding a pool or spa is responsible for creating and controlling the ambience, atmosphere and mood.

Stretch ceilings offer a world of possibilities. They hide unsightly building features, light/alarm and air conditioning fixtures behind a strong, stretched flexible membrane. It has good acoustic properties along with vapour control and has a surface that can be digitally printed with any design that will have a powerful effect by maximising the

reflection of light and ripples from your pool.

Combining clever lighting with a printed stretched ceiling creates an immersive visual experience that vastly enhances the pool or spa development.

Fountains & Water FeaturesWhether they mimic nature or create an exciting, revitalising feature, waterfalls and water features are used to add sophistication and beauty to homes. Grandiose or a

subtle water feature enhances any development.

The features are calming and soothing and are constructed from a vast range of lavish natural materials; they have a universal appeal that all ages can admire and

enjoy. You will be excited to share this ultimate luxury with family and friends.

Moving FloorsLike the roll-on room, moveable floors provide you with an additional useable space in your home. This highly flexible system delivers the

luxury of raising or lowering the floor of your pool to any preselected water depth. This provides safer, shallower depths of water for children or to enable disabled persons with special needs to benefit from the

pool. As well as the additional space when the floor is fully raised, the energy costs for heating are greatly reduced. It will transform your pool

room into a function room in minutes with the press of a button.

78 79

Auto Pool Covers As well as looking good an automatic pool cover has many very useful functions. At the turn of a key it can offer a superb safety barrier that

protects your family from harm. In addition, pool owners benefit from cost efficiencies from the reduction of water and chemical evaporation,

lower heating and operational costs as well as the barrier keeping dirt and debris out of the pool which helps lower overall maintenance costs.

Roll-On Room

Our clients demand the very best

and we make sure we can deliver it in

each and every project we undertake.

Innovation is an integral part of

everything we do and our designers

are continually looking for new,

more efficient and inventive products

that can enhance the overall pool

experience.

A perfect example of this is what

we call our ‘roll-on room’. We can

create a multi-functional area that

will give you so many options. At

the flick of a switch a solid floor

will glide across to safely cover your

beautiful swimming pool and create

a new space. Available on new build

pools and as a retrofit, a rolling floor

is a versatile safe and secure pool

covering solution. The roll-on floor

transforms an indoor pool into a

party space or a games room and

complemented by a cinema, bowling

alley and bar, the latest residential

spa developments set new standards

in extravagance. The floor looks

fantastic and is finished with a wide

range of products from natural stone,

ceramic tiles or even timber to match

the remainder of your pool surround.

The technology is state of the art and

the effect is breathtaking.

WellnessAt the end of the day, there is no better place

to unwind and relax than in your own pool. It is the perfect environment but we can offer you so

much more… and your own personal ‘wet area’ can enhance the whole experience.

We build spas, saunas, steam rooms and Hydro spas, all of which can be incorporated into the design of

your pool ensuring that each element will blend perfectly into the overall concept. This is about taking the pleasure you get from your pool to a

different level and it’s about enjoying life to the full.

Portrait Pools have recently partnered up with one of the World’s leading luxury Thermal Wellness

equipment suppliers, Sommerhuber. A selection of their fantastic product range is shown in this

brochure, further examples can be experienced in our New Wellness Showroom.

Reflecting on our Continued SuccessAs you flick through this brochure you will see a small selection of the many beautiful commissions we have received over the last three decades. We have many glowing testimonials from our customers and with over forty top Prestigious Swimming Pool and Allied Trade Association (SPATA) Awards it is not difficult to understand why Portrait Pools is regarded as the UK’s leading Pool and Spa provider.

The mission of the British Pool & Hot Tub Awards (SPATA) is to recognise the achievements of the wet leisure industry, by showcasing the best examples of design, construction, installation and innovation. Portrait has been awarded the Prestigious National Pool Contractor of the Year on a record four occasions and has won over 100 industry awards for its Residential and Commercial projects.
