Why Choose a Fiberglass Pool?

Monday, February 20th, 2012

  

A Fiberglass pool can provide the perfect setting for a day of leisure, a party or a picturesque backdrop to enhance your home.  Millions of swimming pool owners are now choosing fiberglass pools instead of the traditional concrete or vinyl pool.    In fact, many pool owners have owned a concrete pool or two in the past and may not want to spend the money and time on such a big investment.

A big plus is that a fiberglass pool is already made and ready to install. You may even be able to swim within the first week of installation.  Additionally, fiberglass pools contain a smooth finish which is non abrasive to the skin.  Fiberglass not only looks great, but it is also very easy to maintain and it is resistant to staining as well.  Chemical usage is typically low, and you can save a bundle just by choosing fiberglass over a traditional gunite swimming pool which requires more chemicals to keep it properly maintained for safe swimming.  

A Fiberglass pool may be a perfect option for you and for your family.  With the newer technologies for color and many options to choose from, a fiberglass pool is ideal for the simple to sophisticated pool owner.

The Best Decision is a Fiberglass Pool

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

When selecting or purchasing a new pool, there are a few things to consider. Do you select concrete, fiberglass or even a vinyl surface? 

 Although concrete is considered strong, it doesn’t necessarily mean it is the best surface for a long lasting swimming pool.  Actually, some fiberglass materials are 17 times stronger than concrete.  Gunite pools can also crack in freeze-thaw climates.  Fiberglass, however, is considered ideal for freeze-thaw temperatures such as Michigan.  In addition, a fiberglass pool is generally easier to install than concrete and it is a whole lot easier to maintain.

The great part about selecting a fiberglass pool is that it is done off site, which means you will not need to worry about the process taking over your backyard for a month or more. In fact, generally fiberglass pools are completed in just a short couple of weeks as opposed to months of labor.

Finally, fiberglass pools do not require resurfacing.  Concrete swimming pools which contain plaster will need to be resurfaced every ten to twelve years or so. Painted surfaces might need a touch up every 3 years or more.

Installing a fiberglass pool can enhance the quality of your home while providing hours of enjoyment, exercise and overall good mental and physical health.
