7 reasons to choose a Fibreglass Pool and why they are a smart investment
If you are in the market for a new pool, there are a handful of options available to you when it comes to what material your pool is made from. Concrete, Vinyl and Fibreglass are the main materials and each has it’s pros and cons. It’s hard to know which one is best for you, but there’s no denying that fibreglass pools are the smart choice for a large portion of homeowners. Read on to find out more:
Quick Installation
In contrast to the time-consuming process of excavating, setting, and curing concrete pools, our fibreglass pools arrive pre-moulded from the manufacturer, allowing for a swift installation in as little as 2-3 days. These pools are easily craned into a pre-prepared hole, leveled, backfilled, and plumbed, making them immediately ready for use.
In comparison, the installation of a concrete pool could potentially span several months. Opting for fibreglass not only saves time but also minimizes the disruptions and mess typically linked with prolonged construction projects.
Durability and Strength: Built to Last
While concrete is often perceived as robust, it is susceptible to wear and tear such as cracking, particularly in the face of shifting soil or drastic temperature fluctuations. On the other hand, though vinyl is flexible, it is prone to punctures and leaks, often requiring periodic liner replacements.
Fibreglass, however, offers a solution to these issues. This durable material is designed to flex with ground movements, effectively preventing cracks and breakage. Our manufacturers have been carefully chosen for the quality of their pools. There are numerous benefits such as their wall structure difference, the edge beam detail and step reinforcement as well as their Graphene Nano Technology. Our manufacturers have created a totally new patent-pending construction process that is the next generation of fibreglass pool technology.
Anti-Microbial Protection
Our pools include Microtech Anti-Microbial Pool Protection which guards the pool's surface against the growth of bacteria, making it exceptionally hygienic and safer for your family.
In comparison, Concrete pools, with their porous nature, can harbour algae, requiring higher amounts of chemicals and rigorous scrubbing. Vinyl pools, on the other hand, might have you frequently patching up and replacing liners.
Flexibility in Design
Modern manufacturing techniques means that our pools come in a variety of different shapes, sizes and colours. Whether you are dreaming of a classic rectangle or a tropical lagoon-style pool, we have a wide range of pools to suit your vision. And while concrete does offer a high degree of customisation, fibreglass, with the other multitude of benefits competes fiercely in this department.
Resale Value of your home
Adding a pool to your home is an investment, but all pools are not created equal in the eyes of potential buyers. Fibreglass pools have a reputation for durability and low maintenance, appealing characteristics for homebuyers.
In contrast, concrete pools might raise eyebrows due to potential maintenance challenges, while vinyl pools pose concerns over liner replacements. A fibreglass pool could give your property an edge in the competitive real estate market, offering potential buyers the alluring promise of hassle-free pool ownership.
User comfort
Fibreglass pools define the ultimate in swimming comfort. Their seamless build guarantees a smooth, silky finish, eradicating worries of scraped toes or clothing snags, common with the rough texture of concrete pools. The insulating nature of fibreglass helps maintain water warmth, ensuring a consistently comfortable swim experience.
Easier to maintain
A fibreglass pool is easier to maintain. Concrete or vinyl pools are porous, creating more algae to clean and require more chemicals. Also, it’s more difficult to maintain pH levels in a concrete pool because concrete increases the pH of the water. In conclusion, fibreglass pools are cheaper to run and require less maintenance for you to worry about.
In summary, the advantages of a fibreglass pool, from its durable yet smooth structure to its efficient insulation properties, offer an unparalleled swimming experience, surpassing the limitations of both concrete and vinyl pools.
With their low maintenance demands and rapid installation, coupled with the subsequent increase in your home's value, opting for a fibreglass pool is undoubtedly a wise investment.
