Five Reasons To Buy A Fibreglass Pool
There are more fibreglass swimming pools in this world than any other type. 60% of people who own a pool have chosen fibreglass. It’s a popular choice and for a good reason. Fibreglass pools can mean less maintenance, less cost and are ultimately more hard wearing. Here at Barrier Reef Pools, we’ve come up with five good reasons as to why it ranks number one for pool purchases.
Installation
One of the most significant advantages with a fibreglass pool is the speed it takes to install. No need to hang around and wait impatiently, you can have it in your back garden within a week. Concrete pools will generally take twelve weeks and use more labour and materials meaning higher costs. As with all pools, you’ll need council approval, but the installation can take just days.
Minimal Maintenance
Less Cost
Resilient And Durability
A fibreglass pool is extremely strong, resilient and durable. It’s non-porous and has a smooth, gelcoat-finish so is less resistant to stains. Unlike some pool surface finishes, they do not need resurfacing during their lifetime and require very little ongoing care. A fibreglass swimming pool can also add value to your home. Fibreglass is the preferred choice by many home buyers as it’s regarded as more robust.
Flexibility
The nature of fibreglass means it can bend to fit almost any shape remaining intact despite rough soil conditions. It cannot shrink or swell and is able to withstand constant environmental elements. It’s flexible nature, which allows for movement, means it won’t break or crack. Concrete and other pre-formed pools contain mineral fillers which reduce their flexibility.
