Fiberglass pools are in-ground swimming pools made from a single, pre-manufactured shell of fiberglass that's delivered to your home for installation:
- MaterialFiberglass is a strong, flexible material made from millions of glass threads covered in polyester resin.
- ConstructionFiberglass pools are built in a factory mold in layers, with each layer fused to the next. The shell is then reinforced with additional material.
- InstallationFiberglass pools are quick to install, with the pool in the ground and full of water by day two. A full installation with patio work can take 1–4 weeks.
- MaintenanceFiberglass pools require little to no maintenance. The gel coat on the pool doesn't react with pool water the same way concrete does, so fewer chemicals are needed to keep the water clean.
- DurabilityFiberglass pools are known for their durability and can last for decades. However, aggressive water can damage the gel coat, which can lead to permanent discoloration.
- Other benefitsFiberglass pools are weatherproof and UV resistant, and they have a high gloss finish. They can also be designed with multiple entry and exit points, which can provide more design freedom and be ideal for people who tire quickly while swimming.
