Inspiration for Small Pools on Terraces and Rooftops
Enjoying summer without leaving home is becoming easier than ever, thanks to compact pools designed for terraces—an ideal solution for rooftops, raised patios or charming urban spaces. Whether you're looking to unwind, cool off or add value to your property, there are options to suit every type of terrace. Below, we explore the main types of urban pools and key considerations when designing them.
Raised Pools
Swimming raised pools are perfect for terraces where the building’s structure doesn't allow for excavation. They're quick to install and preserve the original waterproofing, which reduces the risk of leaks.
To ensure a safe and functional environment, it’s essential to use ceramic flooring with a non-slip C3 finish (≥R11) around the pool and in access areas. Additionally, ceramic design brings warmth and visual continuity to the rest of your outdoor space.
Prefabricated Pools
Although prefabricated pools might seem like a quick fix, at Exagres we advocate for more durable and high-quality construction solutions, such as in-situ concrete pools or advanced ceramic systems that ensure both resilience and aesthetic harmony.
That said, if you choose a prefabricated pool, we recommend paying special attention to how it integrates with its surroundings. Using anti-slip ceramic cladding in the surrounding area not only enhances safety but also elevates the overall look—particularly important in urban terraces where space is at a premium but design should never be compromised.
Infinity Pools
Swimming infinity pools or overflow pools are the epitome of luxury. Highly sought-after for rooftop spaces with views, they offer stunning visual continuity. While they require more technical execution, the results are truly spectacular.
In such cases, Exagres’ advanced ceramic systems for edging and pool walls allow for precise and aesthetically pleasing results. Their resistance to sun exposure, frost and heavy use also makes our materials a reliable, long-lasting choice.
Mini Pools and Jacuzzis
For small terraces or rooftops with structural limitations, mini pools and outdoor jacuzzis offer an accessible touch of luxury. There are compact models that are easy to install and, when paired with proper waterproofing and technical ceramics, can transform the space into a true oasis.
The choice of non-slip ceramic cladding makes all the difference in terms of safety, maintenance and style. And with Exagres’ special pieces—such as steps, grates and edging—you can achieve a fully integrated, professional finish.
