Project #4357

As you can see from the 'before' picture, these Toronto, ON, clients had created a truly magnificent backyard oasis for themselves. Unfortunately, because of the harsh Ontario winters they had to endure, the centerpiece of their oasis - the pool - could only be used a few months of the year.

Libart custom-designed an enclosure to fit the 5' 5 1/2" wall along the full length of the pool and stair-shaped smaller walls on each short end of the pool.

A 75000 BTU heater was added (see photo), which helped create a perfect micro-climate. On a typical winter day, with the outside temperature at -15? C (5? F), the water temperature was 29? C (85? F) and the inside temperature at 27? C or 80?F. The air was humid and warm, without fog, while the stone work and deck were very dry and warm. There was condensation on the glazing, but no dripping.
