Vanishing edge & infinity pools
An edge that disappears into the view.
Where a property has a waterway, canal or open outlook, a vanishing edge turns that view into part of the pool.
Lifetime structural warrantyStart a conversationMake a statement with vanishing edge pools. Otherwise known as infinity pools, this design is celebrated for its smooth, glassy appearance and lack of supporting walls, which creates a seamless transition between the water and the surfacing material. This option offers a profoundly modern look and is ideal for customers wishing to add a contemporary twist to their backyard paradise.
Here at Pool Builders Inc., we’re recognized as leading swimming pool builders and innovators, highlighted by our numerous awards and membership in the elite Master Pools Guild. All our professionals are chosen for their exceptional design and construction skills, allowing us to create truly personalized results that enhance the character and usability of your home.
Vanishing edge pools are achieved through overflow technology, whereby water will flow into an unseen basin and is then recycled back into the pool, creating an illusion of a ‘vanishing edge’. For reassurance, we offer a lifetime structural warranty and free, no-obligation estimates on all pools, to further discuss your plans and concepts, please get in touch with our advisors today. We serve a broad area of Davie, Fort Lauderdale, and South Florida, including Pembroke Pines and Weston.
Begin with the view
The disappearing edge is most convincing when it aligns with water, sky or an open landscape beyond the property. We study the main viewpoints from the house, patio and seating areas before positioning it.
How the edge works
Water flows over a precisely level wall into a catch basin, then returns through a dedicated circulation system. The visible simplicity depends on careful coordination below the finished surface.
Engineering creates the effect
Edge tolerance, basin capacity, pump sizing and water-level control determine whether the spill remains even and reliable.
- Precision edge levelling
- Catch basin design
- Balanced hydraulics
- Wind and evaporation planning
- Automatic water-level and control options
Integrate the rest of the pool
Spas, sun ledges, steps and lighting should support the primary view without competing with it. Materials on the edge and basin are selected to strengthen the illusion from the intended viewing position.
Plan for real operating conditions
Wind, rainfall, evaporation and splash-out affect a vanishing-edge system. Equipment access and ongoing care are discussed early so the visual effect remains practical to own.
The property has to support the idea
A vanishing edge needs a worthwhile outlook, enough room for the basin and suitable site levels. If another water-edge treatment would serve the property better, we will explain why.
Your planning checklist
Start with the view beyond the water.
The disappearing-edge effect depends on its relationship to the landscape and viewing position. Review the outlook from the house and patio before choosing where the edge will be placed.
- Identify the main view and usual seating position.
- Discuss the property’s levels and available space.
- Allow for the catch basin and equipment access.
- Review water movement, operating needs and ongoing care.
Think it through
Questions to explore with your designer
Ask the designer to show how the edge, catch basin and surrounding deck fit the site. The engineering and circulation plan are part of the effect, so compare the complete proposal rather than the visible edge alone.
Bring your questions, inspiration photos and project priorities to the consultation. We can help you compare directions and identify the next decisions for your property.
