Mirror-edge pool
A pool as beautiful as your reflection: the water brims on all four sides and flows into invisible channels, creating a perfect mirror.
A perfect body of water, incomparable water
The mirror-edge pool is the most accomplished form of the infinity pool: the water overflows on all four sides into a system of perimeter channels. The water surface reaches the exact level of the coping, the mirror illusion is total, and the pool merges with its terrace and reflects the sky.
- Overflow on all 4 sides, a perfect mirror effect
- Permanent skimming of the water surface : exceptional water quality
- A zen, elegant and luxurious atmosphere
- Design suited to contemporary architecture
The mechanics of a water mirror
Behind the apparent simplicity lies precise engineering, and that is what sets a true mirror-edge pool apart from a simple infinity pool.
Invisible channels
A fine perimeter slot borders the entire pool : the water flows into it without a single gutter being visible.
Flatness to the millimetre
For the water to overflow uniformly on all 4 sides, the coping must be perfectly level, the number-one requirement of the mirror effect.
Oversized balance tank
A buried balance tank collects the overflowing water ; it is larger than on a conventional infinity pool, because the overflow surface is complete.
Automated level
A lift pump and level regulation keep the water sheet constant, whatever the evaporation and the weather.
Why choose a mirror-edge pool
Exceptional water
The permanent skimming of the entire surface carries leaves, pollen and impurities towards the filtration. The water stays crystal-clear with fewer products.
Absolute aesthetics
The reflection of the sky, the vegetation and the architecture erases the boundary between water and terrace. The effect is striking by day and by night.
Property enhancement
The centrepiece of a high-end outdoor layout, the mirror-edge pool adds lasting value to the property.
An exceptional achievement
The mirror-edge pool sits at the top of the range : its installation is more technical and its budget higher than that of a conventional pool, or even of an infinity pool on a single side.
- More demanding earthworks and structure (balance tank, flatness)
- A slightly larger plant room
- Simplified routine maintenance thanks to permanent skimming
- Every project is subject to a bespoke study

Excellence, right down to the structure
The mirror-edge pool demands perfect flatness of the coping: it calls for the very best of our concrete know-how. It is built with the patented Aquafeat permanent formwork system, monolithic reinforced concrete, CSTB technical approval and a ten-year warranty.
