Pool Design Melbourne
Pre-engineered Inground Swimming Pool Design
Albatross Pools specialises in the design, manufacture and construction of pre-engineered inground swimming pools tailored to each client's specifications, assembled and installed on site across Melbourne and Victoria.
Unlike concrete pools and fibreglass pools, the Albatross pool design is constructed from the highest grade of zinc enriched BlueScope Australian steel panels, which are assembled together and interlocked in place with a concrete beam and floor. A sanitised commercial grade Aqualux PVC Membrane is vacuum-sealed into the pool shell resulting in a durable satin smooth non-slip pool interior.
How is the Albatross pool design built?
Please note: the soil conditions of the property featured in the clip above required the addition of reinforcement in the pool floor. Reinforcement in the pool floor is not normally required in an Albatross pool.
Benefits of the Albatross pool design
Introduced by Albatross Pools over fifty years ago, the innovative pre-engineered pool design originated in Canada and the United States of America in 1948, where currently 85% of pools are pre-engineered. It is now the world's biggest-selling pool type, and here is why
Custom Pool Design Flexibility
- Your pool will be fabricated to suit your outdoor space and lifestyle, achieving virtually any shape and size from plunge pools to lap pools.
- Entry steps, benches, swim outs and wading areas (ideal for young children) can be tailored to your requirements.
- Multiple options are available when designing pool depths and floor profiles.
- Well suited to difficult sites with poor access, sloping land and volatile soil conditions.
Built Fast. Built to Last.
- Your pool will be built within 5-10 days, ready for landscaping and fencing.
- Manufactured from the highest grade zinc enriched steel with a proven track record spanning over 50 years in pool construction globally.
- Albatross Pools is both the manufacturer and builder of your new swimming pool, meaning there is no split warranty between the manufacturer and the pool installer.
- Backed by a 10-year structural warranty and a 12-year pool interior warranty, offered by a company specialising in building pools for families since 1969.
- The very first Albatross pools, built in 1969, are still operational and on display at the Warrandyte Display Centre, making them the oldest display pools in Australia.
The Aqualux Pool Finish
- You will experience a satin smooth, non-abrasive commercial grade PVC membrane in your Albatross pool. It will not snag swimwear or graze soft, water-logged skin.
- Your pool will feature the only pool interior specifically designed and engineered for swimming pools.
- From the moment you step into your pool, the satin smooth texturised Aqualux PVC membrane ensures the entire pool is non-slip.
- Virtually maintenance free, your pool interior is non-porous and will not chip, peel, crack, separate, leach chemicals or blister.
- Thicker than 15 layers of pool paint, the Aqualux pool interior can stretch over 200% before breaking, compared to some other pool interiors that stretch only 4% before breaking.
- Choose from over 14 Aqualux pool colours, from resort-style tile effects, Mediterranean greens through to classic ocean blues with metallic flecks creating a stunning shimmer on a summer’s day.

Is the Pre-engineered Pool Design a new concept?
Not at all. While today's pool design is constantly evolving, the basic steel wall concept has been widely used around the world since 1948.
The pre-engineered swimming pool design was developed in North America as a durable alternative to concrete pool construction, which was being damaged by freezing ground conditions. While freezing is rarely a problem in Australia, many areas in Melbourne and throughout Victoria still experience constant ground movement and soil volatility, particularly in today's climate.
The pre-engineered pool design continues to be widely accepted around the world and is the building method of choice throughout Canada, the USA, the Caribbean, England, Europe and the Middle East. In fact, some of the biggest and most talked-about pools around the world are pre-engineered pools with a PVC membrane.
The Smart Alternative for Melbourne Pool Buyers
An Albatross pool gives you the design flexibility of a concrete pool combined with the installation speed of a fibreglass pool. Building a pool is one of the best decisions you can make for your family and lifestyle, and we encourage you to consider all pool design options before you build your dream pool. You can even take an Albatross pool for a test drive.
