Why Choose a Fiberglass Pool?

There’s been a rise in the demand for fiberglass pools, and for good reason. While there are other pool options to choose from (think gunite and vinyl liner), fiberglass pools have become increasingly popular over the last few years due to their numerous benefits, including their durability, low maintenance, and ease of installation. Let’s dive in and take a look at just a few of the reasons why you should choose to install a fiberglass pool from a reputable pool builder to expand your outdoor living space. 

Streamlined Installation Time

One significant advantage of fiberglass pools is their timeline aspect, which allows them to be built in a fraction of the time it takes to install other types of pools. Fiberglass pools are manufactured in a factory and arrive at the installation site as a single piece. Unlike other pool materials, which can take several weeks to install, a fiberglass pool can be installed in as little as a week. This reduced installation time allows homeowners to enjoy their new pool sooner and with less disruption to their daily routine.

One reason for the shorter installation time is that fiberglass pools do not require extensive site preparation. Since the pool shell arrives as a single unit, there is no need for a time-consuming on-site construction process. Rather than watching a months-long process of excavation, frame building, curing, and more, fiberglass pool installation is relatively simple and less time-consuming – the fiberglass pool is placed in an excavated hole, leveled, and backfilled. 

This streamlined installation process is also accomplished because weather conditions don’t play such an integral role in the end date. With other types of pools, inclement weather can cause significant delays in the construction timeline. For example, concrete pools require specific temperature and moisture conditions during the curing process, which can be challenging to achieve during certain times of the year. On the other hand, fiberglass pools are not impacted by weather conditions during the manufacturing process, which ensures a consistent and high-quality product.

Lower Maintenance

One of the biggest benefits of a fiberglass pool is that it’s much easier to maintain than other swimming pool options. Pool owners often spend an hour or less per week maintaining the pool, far less than many expect. You also don’t have to spend as much time balancing chemicals or scrubbing walls because fiberglass is a non-porous material. This material makes them extremely durable and resistant to cracking, fading, and other types of wear and tear. You probably won’t need to resurface the pool either, as the gel coat can last the lifetime of the unit.

A fiberglass pool is a very durable option and can last over 50 years with proper care. Because you avoid a lot of the expensive parts of pool maintenance, such as resurfacing and chemical use, it’s a much less costly pool to operate and maintain. Choosing fiberglass means you spend a lot less over the lifetime of your pool, both in terms of time and money. It’s much easier to keep things clean and clear.

A Huge Variety of Add-On Options

Gone are the days of an uninspired white fiberglass shell. When you choose to incorporate a fiberglass pool into your backyard, you can add on a ton of options — spas, spillways, overflows, tile mosaics, vanishing edges, and more. The surrounding materials can be decking, rockwork, or any other option that you would have available with a traditional concrete pool. As a result, you can have an inground pool that’s just as beautiful and as aesthetically pleasing as its counterparts.
