Most buildings have a floor that nobody uses. It doesn’t have walls, it’s not indoors, and it’s usually too hot to stand on for long. We call it the terrace. But what if that space could become the most valuable, most beautiful, and most peaceful part of your home?

A terrace swimming pool doesn’t just add a pool. It adds a place to cool off, host friends, unwind under the skyline, or float through the quiet. With Desjoyaux’s rooftop-adapted pool systems, it’s not only possible. It’s refreshingly simple.

What Is Unique About a Terrace Swimming Pool?

A pool on a terrace isn’t a copy of one in the garden. It’s a different story — one of elevation, space, light, and structure.

Here’s what makes it different, and better:

Terrace Swimming Pool Specifications

Here’s what goes into building a Desjoyaux pools terrace and why it works where others can’t:

  • Structure: Modular active casing made from recycled polypropylene panels, filled with concrete
  • Filtration: Patented in-wall pipe-free system that filters the entire pool in under 3 hours
  • Waterproofing: 75/100 or 150/100 reinforced PVC liner, which is UV-resistant, algae-proof, hand heat-welded onsite
  • Support: Rooftop load tested and reinforced if needed, meaning no slab cuts required
  • Installation Time: 12 to 20 working days on average
  • Access Needs: All materials can be carried manually to the site; no cranes or machine lifts necessary

Everything is built to suit rooftops, not retrofit ground pools upward.

Terrace Swimming Pool Construction

In the case of terrace swimming pool construction, you don’t start with a dig. You start with a slab, a skyline, and a structural drawing. Here’s how the Desjoyaux team turns a rooftop into a pool that’s built to last:

We inspect your terrace, test the load capacity, and recommend reinforcements if needed. No guesswork, just facts and calculations.
Our modular panels are placed directly on the slab and shaped to your design. This system is light, flexible, and fast to install.
We form a monolithic shell by pouring the pool floor and wall infill in one go. The structure bonds without seams, stronger and cleaner.
The entire system fits inside the pool wall. No floor piping. No backwashing channels. Just a single, smart unit that filters and circulates.
Your selected liner (textured or smooth, light or dark) is heat-welded on-site for a seamless, watertight finish.

Innovative Pool Construction Techniques Used

This pool system wasn’t adapted for rooftops. It was designed with rooftops in mind.

1

Pipe-Free Filtration

No floor trenches, no suction-return circuits. Everything is self-contained and serviceable above the surface.

2

Modular Casing System

Made from recycled plastic and shaped like Lego, assembled on-site, poured with concrete for lasting strength.

3

No Plant Room, No Pumps Below

You don’t need to dedicate indoor space. The pump and filter sit poolside, concealed within a clean, quiet casing.

4

Flexible Liners, Made in France

Our 150/100 liners have a polyester mesh layer perfectly ideal for rooftops with more movement and exposure.

Sustainability and Easier to Maintain

Terrace pools get more sun, more dust, and more wind than other types of pools. But Desjoyaux pools are built to handle all of it, without high effort or high cost.

  • No water wasted as cartridge filters need rinsing, not backwashing
  • Low-power pumps circulate fully with reduced energy draw
  • Minimal chemical use with smooth liners that resist algae and stains
  • No leaks. All plumbing sits within the pool wall, not under your slab

This isn’t just easier for you. It’s easier on the building, the environment, and your maintenance calendar.

Maintenance

No tiles to regrout. No pool room to ventilate. No heavy filters to remove. Here’s what you actually do:

  • Every few weeks: Rinse the filter cartridge (takes 5 minutes)
  • Every few days: Skim leaves or dust if you like
  • Monthly: Check pH and chlorine with a dip-strip (we’ll show you how)
  • Yearly: Optional service visit or annual maintenance contract

If you want to clean your terrace pool without calling someone, you can. If you want us to take care of it, we will.
