Traditionally "infinity edge pools" have been used as a design feature on the edge of swimming pools that have a view or drop off.
This allows concrete swimming pools to blend in with a pond, landscape, ocean or water views. However in more contemporary times these beautiful swimming pool features have evolved to provide a range of creative, beautiful all edge, high edge or look edges with or without a view or as a design feature.
Today, infinity-edge pools have advanced with custom concrete designs that incorporate an infinity "high edge" around part or all of the pool. This design elevates the outer edge of the pool above ground level, eliminating the need for a drop-off or view. This approach allows the pool or spa to "stand proud" of the ground, introducing a "wet edge" and transforming the walls into prominent "jewelry pieces" or features, rather than being hidden below ground level.
Once you have introduced the "infinity high edge," you can transform your swimming pool into a "feature" or "shining jewelry piece" by adding mosaic-style tiles with a pearl or Jewels 4 Pools finish, or by using large block tiling.
Infinity-edge pools, as known as "perimeter edge pools", where all-edge spillover with knife-edge hidden drains represent the pinnacle of pool design, providing the infinity-edge effect without needing a view.
In my opinion, these pools are the ultimate in pool and outdoor design, landscaping, and entertainment areas. Only top-tier builders and teams should attempt these projects, so ensure your pool builder has the necessary skill, experience, and insurance to execute this feature.
These pools require each infinity edge to be built to within a micron of level at every key point. There is zero room for error from construction to tiling, as any mistake will be evident in the water flow.
Additionally, these pools require hidden drains integrated into the concrete, with specialized plumbing that directs water to a balance tank, which can be either hidden underground or exposed. Crafting these hidden drains is one of the most challenging techniques in the pool building industry and should not be attempted by inexperienced teams.
During use, water spills from the walkways and pool into the hidden drains beneath the walkways, flows to the balance tank, and is cycled back to the pool via the pool equipment room. When done professionally, these infinity-edge pools are unparalleled in achieving the ultimate look.

Achieve the infinity-edge pool or Perimeter Edge Pool look without the high cost. Create a low-cost infinity-edge pool appearance by retaining the wall and styling elements but lowering the internal water level.
Beyond aesthetic benefits, this approach offers the full infinity-edge experience while utilizing standard external garden drainage methods. This eliminates the need for a balance tank, which can be a significant expense.
The key here is to produce a 200mm wall, with a raised edge while keeping the water on the inside at your traditional pool level.
Enhance your infinity-edge pool's appearance with up-and-over mosaic tiles to maintain its seamless look.
This lower-cost design and build model for infinity-edge pools offers a creative and flexible solution that can accommodate various budgets.
Contemporary infinity-edge pool techniques, such as the high edge, spill-over edge, and infinity-edge look, offer additional advantages by enhancing the design elements of your swimming pool spa.
