Swimming pools with built-in steps: everything you need to know

Built-in steps for a swimming pool are more than just decoration; they lend style and functionality to these spaces. At Exagres, we know that a swimming pool forms an integral part of your garden and home, so we offer solutions that combine design, safety and practicality. Here is everything you need to know about built-in swimming pool steps: their advantages, the regulations and the range of different styles.

Built-in vs. prefabricated swimming pool steps

Unlike prefabricated steps, built-in steps are perfectly integrated into the overall design of the swimming pool. A wider range of materials can be used to create them, such as extruded or porcelain tile, and they can be adapted to any pool shape and size, whether that be rectangular, hexagonal or even a custom design. Such steps provide a sense of continuity and harmony, ensuring that every part of your swimming pool is unique and personalised.

The regulations governing built-in swimming pool steps

The construction of built-in swimming pool steps has to follow certain specific regulations to ensure safety and functionality. These rules are intended to guarantee the right depth, the correct inclination and the use of non-slip materials to prevent accidents. The design of our built-in steps considers these regulations to make sure that every part of your swimming pool is not only aesthetically attractive but also completely safe and functional.

Types of built-in swimming pool steps

There are several different styles to choose from when opting for built-in swimming pool steps. Roman style steps provide classical elegance while right-angle steps suit more modern designs perfectly. Rectangular steps are practical and aesthetically pleasing, semi-round or ‘wedding cake’ steps are perfect for families and free-design steps offer unlimited creativity options. Furthermore, steps with water jets add a touch of luxury with built-in water filtration and pumping systems for a spa effect in your home.

At Exagres, we strive to offer swimming pools that are not only aesthetically attractive but also safe, long-lasting and easy to maintain. Built-in swimming pool steps are the perfect way to improve the look of this space while adding functionality and unbeatable style. With a huge range of designs and technically impeccable materials, such as extruded and porcelain tile from Exagres, built-in steps will customise your swimming pool to make it unique and tailored to your needs.
