What is a mirror pool?

The mirror pool is an infinity pool whose overhangs merge on the four sides of the pool. Thus, the pool gives the impression of a beach since the contours of the pool disappear under the water line. The water is therefore similar to a mirror, hence the name "mirror pool".
Very elegant and modern, the mirror pool attracts more and more fans thanks to its rarity and its aesthetics. We reveal everything you need to know about the mirror pool and its advantages.

The mirror pool, a real design asset

A real asset to your property, the mirror pool gives the impression of a beach in the heart of your garden. If you are planning to have this type of installation done at home, here are a number of elements to take into account before you get started.

The advantages and disadvantages of a mirror pool

Beyond its almost undeniable rarity and aesthetic appeal, the mirror pool offers many advantages but also some disadvantages to be aware of before embarking on such a project.

The advantages

– It provides permanent circulation of water in the pool and therefore good elimination of impurities.
– It enhances the value of your land and your residence thanks to its modernity, its rarity and its elegance.
– Maintaining a mirror pool is simpler than a traditional pool since the water overflows into the channels, eliminating impurities naturally.

The disadvantages

– The mirror pool has a much higher cost than traditional pools.
– The temperature of the pool is very difficult to maintain due to the constant movement of the water.
– Such an installation can only be carried out by a professional specializing in mirror pools.

How much does a mirror pool cost?

As you will have understood, the mirror pool is an expensive and relatively demanding piece of equipment. The overflow principle involves creating a water collection system. To do this, additional basins must be dug with great precision to ensure the proper functioning of the pool. Also, the mirror pool filtration system must be much more powerful, which also represents an additional cost.

For these reasons, the cost of a mirror pool is generally 30% higher than a traditional pool. It varies depending on the size, shape, and options chosen for your pool, but the price of a mirror pool can easily approach €40,000 or even €50,000 depending on your land's constraints.
