them and they keep the pool clean and debris free and still extend the swimming season. Pool & Spa Enclosures Ltd offers a wide range of enclosures that will keep outdoor leisure areas clean and comfortable all year round. The company specialise in making swimming pools, spas, patios and their surroundings enjoyable throughout the seasons making any swimming or leisure area functional whatever the weather. The case for covering a pool is a strong one. The benefits to pool owners are clear – much greater use of the pool and significant maintenance savings. Using natural sunlight to warm the pool is also
environmentally friendly and anything which means you don’t have to rely on a British summer has to be a good idea.
A pool house – a perfect climate change solution
Swimming pools with pool houses are becoming more popular. As our summers get hotter, more people are investing in swimming pools and hot tubs for the home. Last summer saw the weather go from one extreme to another with a snowy winter and a hot spring. So a pool house can be the best way to deal with the variables of climate change. An off the shelf glass and aluminium pool house could be the perfect way to protect your pool from the elements and keep it clean. They come with additional features such as self cleaning glass, electric vents and folding sliding doors which allow you to open up your pool house when the weather is nice. Adding or replacing a pool house on your
property can be a big decision but the fact is a new pool house can be as big or small as you want it to be. At the lower end of the scale you can build or buy a basic wooden building which will be

robust and strong and serve its purpose and perhaps cost you as little as £1,000. With a bigger budget the sky really is the limit. Wooden buildings like those from English Heritage buildings are made from solid green oak and produce spectacular designs and looks. Your pool house can include other features such as hot tubs, saunas and steam rooms or even a mini gymnasium. Getting the size right is perhaps the biggest decision you need to make. A pool house which is too big will cost you a lot of money and leave you with wasted space which you don’t use. A pool house which is too small can leave you cramped and unhappy with the structure. The style and age of your property will help you to decide which style you want for your pool house. Glass is a popular choice with all British pool houses. It generates the feeling of the pool being outside, even when the weather isn’t so good. Adding brick to the design can allow the pool house to blend in with the original property. Create a pool house which is unique to your
property and suits your lifestyle. If you are just considering a standard extension building as your pool house try using features such as folding sliding doors and roof lights to make a different space to that of your neighbours.
Roof lights can be added to any new or existing pool house. A roof light can allow more light into your pool house and can include electric vents for ventilation. Additional features such as these can make your pool house unique and practical. Using glass in your pool house design can have many advantages. The additional light that it provides means that you won’t need to use as much electricity on lighting. The double glazing has thermally efficient properties which save on heating bills.
