Azuro builds custom concrete inground and prebuilt fiberglass swimming pools.
Inground Pool Options
Azuro specializes in building inground swimming pools that are a delightful addition to your backyard. Inground pools can be built using one of two methods: prebuilt fibreglass moulds or custom concrete construction.
Prebuilt Fiberglass Pools
Our high-quality fiberglass pools offer durability, low maintenance, and quick installation. Fiberglass is a strong and resilient material that withstands harsh weather, is energy-efficient to heat, and offers a non-slip surface that’s easy on the feet. Styles incorporate ledges and benches, dual entry, various seating configurations, and built-in shallow and deep ends, with various colour options, and the maximum size is 16 x 40 feet. Additional customization of fiberglass pools is limited since they are prebuilt at the factory.
Unique Inground Concrete Pools
Each custom-designed concrete swimming pool we build matches your style preference and the unique terrain of your backyard. And our inground concrete swimming pools come in any shape and size, with many design features, including invisible edges (sometimes called vanishing, spillover, infinity, or negative edge swimming pools), swim-up style, swim in caves, and beach entry.
Energy Efficient Swimming Pool Pumps, Filtration Systems, and Heaters
Whether you choose a custom concrete or a fiberglass pool, we use sophisticated pumps, filtration systems, and heaters (pool heat pumps and pool gas boilers) for maximum energy efficiency. Our in-floor self-cleaning swimming pools keep your pool 99% clean year-round.
State-of-the-art Swimming Pool Technology
Azuro uses state-of-the-art technology that provides full-in-house controllers for all aspects of your inground swimming pool (pumps, filtration systems, water heaters, pool cleaning, LED lights for added beauty and ambiance, and parental block/lock) as well as an iPad app so that you can manage your pool from virtually anywhere.

Compare Inground Custom Concrete and Prebuilt Fiberglass Swimming Pools
| Inground Concrete | Prebuilt Fiberglass | |
|---|---|---|
| Installation/ Build | After excavation, a metal/rebar frame is constructed, concrete (gunite or shotcrete) is applied to form the pool shell, and the interior surface is applied. | Fiberglass pools are pre-moulded, which allows for a faster installation after excavation than concrete pools. |
| Customization | Fully customizable to any shape or size. | Limited to prebuilt formats and sizes are based on transportation limitations (max ~15 wide). |
| Durability | When maintained, a well-built concrete pool structure will last ~50 years. | Fiberglass is a strong and resilient material that can withstand harsh weather conditions and resist cracking, making it long-lasting (~25 years). |
| Maintenance | Low maintenance. Depending on weather conditions, it may require resurfacing every ~25 years. | Low maintenance. |
| Interior Surface and Texture | Plaster, exposed aggregate, tile, or polished aggregate, which can be smooth or textured. | Gel-coat finish provides a smooth, non-slip surface that is gentle on swimmers. |
| Cleaning | Requires regular brushing and vacuuming. | Fiberglass surface discourages algae growth and minimizes the need for scrubbing, making cleaning easy and requiring fewer chemicals |
| Build Estimate* | 16 to 20+ weeks | 10 to 12 weeks |
*From permitting approval to finish. Note, a building permit is required to construct or install swimming pools in BC. Permits are issued by municipalities, and processing time varies depending on project type and your location.
