WHY FIBERGLASS

ADVANTAGES OF FIBERGLASS POOLS:

  1. It’s smooth non-porous surface provides little opportunity for growth and development of algae, thereby minimizing pool cleaning.
  2. It is more economical because it requires less chemicals to maintain proper water balance
  3. Installation time of a fiberglass pool is relatively short and can be completed in a matter of days, as compared to months, for the average gunite pool.
  4. Fabrication of a fiberglass pool shell requires hand crafted laminations enabling the fabricator to exercise rigid quality control. This results in a durable shell having approximately ten times the tensile strength and 17 times the flexural strength of gunite
  5. Premium quality fiberglass pools carry an extended warranty because of their structural superiority
  6. Due to the inherent flexibility of one-piece fiberglass pools, they possess a higher resistance to structural failure caused by shifting or unstable soil conditions.
  7. Virtual elimination of major pool maintenance problems and expense such as replastering and relining.
  8. Eliminates rough or pitted surfaces common to gunite pools that are responsible for skin abrasions on feet, knees, hips, shoulders and hands.
  9. Should any structural damage occur to the pool shell, complete repair can be easily made, restoring it to it’s original strength.
  10. The pool is a permanent home improvement and yet the structural integrity of the pool shell is such that it can be moved from location to another should the need arise.
