In general, it seems that since the corona entered our lives, one of the hottest industries in the field of home design is the home pool industry, when the demand for home swimming pools reached a peak and they became a key component in deciding the location of Israelis' next home.

"Israel is considered a world power in the field of private pools," he continues.

"We recently returned from Barcelona where the largest exhibition in the world was held in the field. The largest delegation was the Israeli delegation. The demand for pools in Israel is huge and the number of home pools relative to the number of people in the country is only growing. "At the highest product level and with the best quality of construction. The innovation is also evident in the strict adherence to water quality. Today we are building systems, which include very strict filtration and purification processes, to ensure that water is kept clean, despite the high temperatures."

One of the most prominent trends today is stone design in pools.

"We manage to make special designs in the pool and play with the various cladding materials. Customers ask for special things and we work with artistic sequences, which do amazing things, including cutting or sculpture designs that we offer or the customer requests. There will be no repetition of designs. Everyone wants a unique and special pool and this is a challenge we enjoy meeting. There are lots of innovations in flooring, upgraded cladding materials, advanced lighting types, underwater speakers and hydraulic floors that offer safer protection for children and increased yard space. Different, each of which is suitable for a different home. "

"Surfing pools continue to be the most popular in Israel. These are pools that have a perimeter channel whose function is to collect the water flowing from them and thus a special effect of surfing the pool to the horizon and a unique integration in the landscape and courtyard. "The tidy, which rests on solid foundations from concrete castings. This type of pool allows planning and design in accordance with customer requirements and in full accordance with environmental data."

A hydraulic floor will maintain safety and increase the yard area.

And what's going on in the field in terms of sizes?

"Israelis prefer pools as large as possible. Home pools in Israel are considered very large, especially in peripheral cities," Zadok answers.

"A 20-meter pool, which is very large, has become common, but especially outside the city and in the countryside we also build 30-meter pools. Inside the city the space is more limited, and this is our place to offer - next to the pool itself - greater emphasis on special designs "And no less important, technological solutions that will allow full enjoyment of the pool, such as devices for swimming against the current, unique Jacuzzi systems and more."

Every mistake will cost you a fortune

What must someone who has decided to set up a swimming pool in his backyard know?

"Anyone who chooses to set up a private pool at home should know that this is a process that requires precise planning by experienced professionals. Every mistake you make will cost you a fortune and its repair will require a large investment. A pool is an important area to give the right planning and financial investment. Proper planning also allows for cost reduction but one must know where one can cut and where the savings will only lead to damages and much higher costs later on. There are projects where we build the pool from scratch, and at the same time upgrade existing pool The cost can be 3 times (!) Greater than the cost of setting up a pool with proper and accurate planning. "

A pool where the water level is lower than the flooring level and thus the water does not slide out.

The skimmer's patent allows the absorption of floating dirt on the water and maintains a clean pool.

"At the request of architect Lior Rosenfeld, we chose this pool, which is covered with gray mosaic, where all the systems are hidden in concrete and not visible. The pool has an elegant shutter cover that allows it to be heated all year round and to provide security for members and guests."

Skimmer pool construction is an accepted construction method in the field but it limits to some extent the design options.

Cost: about NIS 350,000

Strip pools are considered to be highly designed pools that surround the house from several directions and are suitable for rectangular lots or long yards.

The pool is 22 m long and 5 m wide. We covered the pool with porcelain granite, It has different types of cladding such as mosaic or stone, as well as different types of cover. Each pool has unique design details that correspond with the design style of the house. It gives us a unique place to express the design dreams of the tenants, And special ideas.
