LUXURY SWIMMING POOL DESIGNERS
Suspended Moving Pool Floors
A suspended movable pool floor is one of the most advanced innovations in swimming pool design, offering unmatched flexibility, safety, and elegance. At Aqua Spazio, we specialise in designing and installing bespoke suspended floor systems that transform pools into versatile spaces—ideal for homeowners seeking both luxury and practicality.
This unique platform-based system allows your pool’s depth to be adjusted—or even completely hidden at the touch of a button, effectively turning your pool into a patio, terrace, or entertainment area when not in use.
What Is a Suspended Movable Pool Floor?
A suspended pool floor is a structural platform made of lightweight stainless steel, typically topped with waterproof timber decking such as IPE. The platform is suspended by stainless steel cables anchored to the top edge of the pool walls.
The system operates using:
-
Hydraulic rams (for medium to large pools), or
-
Mechanical screws (for smaller pools)
These mechanisms pull the floor upwards through the water using a pulley system. Once it reaches the desired level, the platform is locked in place using manual or hydraulic locking pins built into the pool walls.
Key Features and Benefits
1. Dual Functionality: Pool + Usable Surface
The movable floor allows you to convert your pool into a fully usable solid surface perfect for dining, hosting, or relaxing—whenever the pool is not in use.
2. Customisable Water Depth
With height-adjustable functionality, you can:
-
Use shallow water for kids or therapeutic use
-
Increase depth for exercise or swimming
-
Raise floor completely to close the pool securely
3. Ideal for New & Existing Pools
The suspended floor design can be integrated into new builds or retrofitted into existing pools, provided space and structure are suitable.
System Design & Technical Considerations:
-
Platform thickness: approx. 300 mm
-
Surface area: Ideal for pools up to 36 sqm
-
Construction: Lightweight stainless steel frame with waterproof timber (IPE or similar)
-
Weight-bearing cables: Engineered to support both the platform and water resistance during motion
-
Locking pins: Through-wall hydraulic or manual locking mechanism for safety
As there are no moving parts beneath the pool floor, servicing and maintenance are easier and safer than other types of movable floor systems.
Visibility & Aesthetics
Because the system is suspended from above, cables are always visible within the pool. However, we reduce their visual impact through:
-
Stainless steel recessed channel guides
-
Carefully selected pool finishes to blend with cable hardware
This allows the suspended floor to maintain a minimal and elegant appearance while offering maximum functionality.
Why Choose a Suspended Movable Pool Floor?
-
Maximise space in smaller gardens or urban properties
-
Add multi-functionality to luxury homes or commercial spaces
-
Improve pool safety with quick, secure closure
-
Ensure long-term durability and low maintenance with premium materials
Whether you're building a new pool or upgrading an existing one, Aqua Spazio provides a bespoke solution from design to final execution.
