Spas
The Chaikin Ultimate Group’s custom spas are not only a design focal point, they provide the ultimate in relaxation and therapeutic benefits.
Your spa can be designed as a standalone with or without a pool, it can be created within the footprint of the pool or attached to the side, either flush or raised with soothing water cascading into the pool.
Negative Edge
Also called infinity pools, these pools give the effect of water with no boundary. The water flows over the edge of the pool down to a catch basin
below, where it is pumped back into the pool. For waterfront sites, the effect is breathtaking, as the pool seems to extend into the bay, lake, or ocean beyond. For sites with challenging grade changes, the negative edge and catch basin below offer an opportunity for a separate outdoor living area, with the overflow becoming a dramatic waterfall focal point.
Bubblers
Bubblers can bring a spectacular spark to any pool design when used with complementary lighting.
On a beach entry or tanning ledge, they can make a fantastic splash zone, enjoyable for kids and adults alike.
Sheer Descents
Descents of varying sizes, from a few inches to multiple feet, offer a captivating array of aesthetics, from a sheet of glass to a mist of droplets.
When in place, they gracefully pour into the pool or spa, emitting the serene and tranquil sound of falling water.
Tanning Ledge
Tanning Ledge, commonly called a sunshelf or baja bench; is a flat ledge typically located at the entrance of the pool.
This tanning ledge is the perfect location for a lounge chair or the sun-worshipper who wants to avoid getting overheated from the sun or fully submerged while enjoying the pool.
Fire and Water Features
Fire & water features are custom accents you can add to your pool with a split personality!
During the day, they are unassuming but are a great focal point of your swimming pool. At night, they come alive as their flames create a beautiful and dramatic ambiance.
Plunge Pools
A plunge pool is a small pool great for lounging and relaxing. These pools are often a perfect solution for many Long Island homeowners with limited yard space.
While they’re not meant for swimming laps, their uniform depth allows for water exercise.
Cold Plunges
Cold plunges have been used since Roman times to reduce inflammation, strengthen the immune system, improve resilience, and reduce stress.
Once limited to luxury resorts, these are now an attainable amenity to complement your warm pool or spa.
