Bespoke Pool Artwork
3D Printing
Precision That Inspires Possibility
Using 3D printing, we create complex, custom-designed templates that were once impossible, every detail is crafted to exact specifications using sustainable, high-performance materials designed to last for decades underwater.
Smarterpools is at the forefront of swimming pool artwork technology, leading the way in integrating cutting-edge methods into both design and construction. Our 3D-printed templates are engineered to work seamlessly with natural aggregate finishes such as PebbleCrete. By embedding a variety of coloured pebble finishes into bespoke moulds, we’re able to create intricate, contrasting and textured pool surfaces that are truly one-of-a-kind.
Even more, these custom templates are often integrated with fiber optic lighting, turning the pool floor into a radiant piece of illuminated art.
With our in-house design team and photorealistic 3D modelling, clients preview their designs long before construction helping streamline the process, avoid surprises, and ensure a perfect outcome.
Benefits include:
• Rapid prototyping for custom designs
• Durable long-lasting materials designed for use underwater
• Extreme detail and dimensional accuracy
• Efficient planning, time and cost savings
• Enhanced visual integration with fiber optics and aggregates
Glass Mosaics
Timeless Elegance in Every Tile
Glass mosaics transform pool surfaces into visual poetry.
Whether a vibrant floor mandala or a subtle border motif, mosaics elevate design through colour, pattern, and texture. Either in a fully mosiac tiled pool or as accents used in conjunction with natural aggregates like PebbleCrete in applied finish pools.
They’re a versatile, low-maintenance solution that brings lasting beauty, and a tactile, luxurious finish.
Why glass mosaics?
• Suitable for any pool shape or scale
• Wide palette of colours and materials
• Resistant to chemicals and weather
• Custom designs for truly personal spaces
For added brilliance, mosaics can be combined with fiber optics, glowing subtly in low light to create shimmering borders and accents.
Fibre Optic Integration
Lighting Reimagined
Fiber optic lighting delivers stunning visual effects to enhance artwork outlines with sideglow fiber optics or LED strip lighting, safely and efficiently.
With fiber optics there is zero electricity in the pool itself, this technology offers peace of mind and long-term reliability (lasting up to 50,000 hours).
From twinkling star floors to softly glowing steps, this is luxury lighting without compromise.
Key advantages:
• Safe, water-separated light delivery
• Starfield effects, constellation replicas, and glowing lines
• Customisable RGBW for mood-specific scenes
• Seamless control via app or voice (Alexa, Google, Apple)
Our signature Star Pools combine mosaic artistry with fibre optics for a dazzling, immersive experience, perfect for resort-style living.
Harmonious Integration
Artistry Meets Engineering
Every element plays a part in the Smarterpools experience:
| Element | Purpose | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| 3D Printed Templates | Custom creations & perfect form | Precise artwork and seemless integration |
| Glass Mosaics Artwork | Timeless visual richness | Enduring elegance, radiates the sun reflection |
| Fiber Optics & LED Strip | Dynamic illumination for outlining artwork | Visual drama, and brings the artwork to life |
Together, these technologies create pools that go beyond utility, they captivate.
