Want to add that extra
oomph to your home? Here’s how you can do that, make room
for a swimming pool. Be it indoor or outdoor, swimming pools
inside residences is the latest buzz in contemporary living.
Technology Pools, a leading importer of swimming pool
filtration and water treatment systems, makes customised pools
and spas for homes. There are, in fact, a variety of options
that you can choose from, such as the movable swimming pool,
ultra-level infinity pool, hydrotherapy, glass wall, outdoor and
stainless steel pools.
In the price range of Rs 6 lakh to Rs 1 crore, these are a
lifestyle statement for your home! The hydrotherapy swimming
pool is a safe treatment for arthritis and back pain. The warm
temperature of the water allows the muscles to relax and eases
pain in the joints.
There are also indoor swimming pools which can be used
throughout the year as a cost effective option. Says Hemant
Atrish, chief technology officer, Technology Pools, “The
trend in swimming pools nowadays is shallow swimming pools (ie
up to 1.25m deep) which are placed either next to the house, on
the terrace or in the basement.
If there is a possibility, then most people opt for a water
fall or an attached spa. People also prefer expensive tiles and
fancy lighting systems for the pool and surrounding space. There
are Italian tiles available even up to a price of Rs 75,000 per
square meter!” |
