Fiberglass Pools 

The process of installing a fiberglass pool starts with a pre-made shell that's crafted in a manufacturing facility. This complete unit is delivered directly to your installation location. The beauty of these pools is that all desired features - whether it's built-in benches, entry steps, shallow lounging areas, or other custom elements - are already integrated into the shell's design. Having a fiberglass pool doesn't mean compromising on amenities, as virtually any pool feature can be included in your chosen design.

Pre-manufactured fiberglass pools come in numerous pre-set designs and dimensions, though this means there's less flexibility for completely custom layouts. If you're looking for traditional pool shapes or compact swimming solutions, fiberglass pools are an excellent option.

Modern fiberglass pool shells are engineering marvels, constructed with multiple layers of specialized materials - including reinforced fiberglass strands, polyester and vinyl ester resins, and glass mesh reinforcement. The technology has evolved significantly since these pools were first introduced, with many now matching or exceeding concrete pools in terms of longevity.

One standout advantage of fiberglass pools is their compatibility with salt chlorination systems, as they contain no metallic components that could corrode. The smooth surface makes routine maintenance like cleaning the waterline significantly easier than concrete alternatives, and naturally inhibits algae formation.

The gelcoat finish on fiberglass pools creates an exceptionally smooth surface that's gentle on swimmers' feet - a noticeable difference from concrete pools' rougher texture. This sleek surface not only enhances comfort but also helps prevent algae from taking hold.

The initial investment in a fiberglass pool is similar to gunite and higher than vinyl. You also need to pay the delivery costs to get the pool shell from the factory to your home. Fiberglass pools come fortified with extremely durable materials, which makes them hard to break. They are flexible and tough with the right installation, and if damages do occur, they are typically easy to repair.

The rapid installation process is one of the most compelling advantages of choosing a fiberglass pool. After your pool shell arrives on-site, the installation can be completed remarkably quickly.
