- 1. A cladding device for a swimming pool comprising:a slab having a bottom surface with side walls extending upwardly from said bottom surface, said slab being formed of a concrete material; a first glass plate; a second glass plate; a first mounting means for mounting said first glass plate to an inner side of said bottom surface of said slab; and a second mounting means for mounting said second glass plate to an inner side of the side wall of said slab, said first and second glass plates having respective edges tightly juxtaposed together.
- 2. The cladding device of claim 1, each of said first and second mounting means comprising:a frame formed of an assembly of profile bars, each of said profile bars being an angle iron, the respective glass plate being inserted and tightly fixed within said frame; and fixing means secured to said frame, said fixing means for fixing the frame to said slab.
- 3. The cladding device of claim 1, said first mounting means comprising a first frame formed of an assembly of metallic profile bars, said first glass plate inserted within said first frame, said second mounting means comprising a second fame formed of an assembly of metallic profile bars, said second glass plate inserted within said second frame.
- 4. The cladding device of claim 3, said first and second glass plates being contiguous with a profile bar extending longitudinally at the juxtaposed edges of said first and second glass plates.
- 5. The cladding device of claim 4, said first and second glass plates being inserted above said profile bar, said profile bar being fixed against said slab.
- 6. The cladding device of claim 4, said first frame having said profile bar at a juncture of the bottom surface and at least one of said side walls, and profile bar being an angle iron, said first glass plate residing against said angle iron.
- 7. The cladding device of claim 6, said second mounting means further comprising:at least one fastening organ integral with said profile bar, the fastening organ being a fastening lug, the fastening organ being cooperative with an upper edge of said second glass plate so as to fix said second glass plate to the side wall.
- 8. The cladding device of claim 2, said first and second glass plates having a gap between adjacent edges thereof, said gap receiving a fir-type seal coated with a silicone seal therein.
- 9. The cladding device of claim 3, each of said first and second mounting means further comprising at least one compressive gasket positioned against the profile bar, each of said first and second mounting means further comprising suction pad means cooperative with the respective glass plate for immobilizing the respective glass plate against the profile bar.
- 10. The cladding device of claim 1, each of said first and second glass plates comprising a plurality of glass plates superposed together and having a reinforcing element interposed therebetween.
- 11. The cladding device of claim 1, at least one of said first and second glass plates being transparent and covered with an enameled or lacquered-glass layer.
- 12. The cladding device of claim 1, further comprising:an optical means positioned on said slab, said optical means for creating a lighting effect in the swimming pool.
- 13. The cladding device of claim 1, at least one of said first and second glass plates having an anti-slip coating thereon.
