01 — The Ottawa Climate Threat
What Ottawa's Winters Are Doing to Your Concrete Pool
Every winter, water seeps into your concrete pool shell and expands by 9% when it freezes — creating internal pressure that forms micro-cracks. Ottawa is projected to see a 33% increase in freeze-thaw events by 2050.
The damage follows what engineers call the Parabolic Damage Curve — concrete mass loss accelerates rapidly after the initial cycles. A pool that looks fine today may be structurally compromised within one or two seasons.

04 — About Urbano
Ottawa's Concrete Pool Authority
Founded in 2015 by master artisan Justin Richard, Urbano Design combines over 30 years of expertise in custom concrete construction. Our work uses European tile, natural stone, and high-performance materials — MaxFine, Laminam, Peau de Béton, Dekton — engineered specifically for Ottawa’s freeze-thaw climate.
We are not a general contractor who builds pools on the side. We are concrete pool specialists. That distinction matters when your investment is $90,000–$150,000+.
- Concrete pools only — gunite, shotcrete, and ICF
- Continuous training and industry-leading certifications
- European tile, natural stone, and premium aggregate finishes
- Climate-engineered systems for Ottawa's freeze-thaw cycle
05 — Built for Ottawa Winters
Today’s Winters Demand Better Materials
That increased movement puts extreme stress on older pools built with outdated materials and rigid adhesives — causing bonds to fail, crack, and separate over time.
That’s why all new pools and repairs at Urbano Design use modern flexible materials engineered for today’s freeze-thaw conditions.
06 — Client Experiences
What Ottawa Homeowners Say
“The quality of work is unlike anything I’ve seen from other contractors in Ottawa. Justin’s team treated our pool like a piece of architecture, not just a construction project.”

“We engaged Urbano for a complete concrete pool restoration. The freeze-thaw damage was significant — they not only fixed it but upgraded the finish to something that will outlast us.”
Andre Godin
Manotick Estate Owner
“No rushing out the door — quality is the only standard they work to. Our new concrete pool is the centrepiece of our property. The consultation process alone was worth every penny.”
