Have you always dreamed of owning an in-ground swimming pool? You may have been waiting for years to make this dream a reality. The only issue is that many in-ground pool options are available, and making a choice may be difficult. However, fibreglass pools have numerous advantages, so we recommend their installation. So, which pool kind is best for you, and which pool can meet all of your family’s requirements?
You are likely familiar with concrete and vinyl liner swimming pools, but fiberglass pools are also becoming popular because of their undeniable benefits. Let’s discuss these benefits in detail.
Fast Installation
The installation process for a concrete pool usually takes 2 to 3 months. The installation process for vinyl is faster and typically takes several weeks, but nothing can match the speedy installation of a fiberglass pool. A fiberglass pool can be set up and decked in 3 to 5 days, providing plenty of time for summer enjoyment. The actual installation time may fluctuate depending on the specifications of each project.
Once the pool is in the ground and the backfilling starts, the pool is already filled with water, accelerating the installation process. This ensures all other surrounding elements, such as decking and water features, are ready for installation. Fiberglass pools are now prepared for installation, which speeds up the installation procedure. Whether above ground or in-ground, with or without a deck, or even on a roof, a fiberglass pool offers endless possibilities.
Fiberglass Pools are Durable
Fiberglass pools are renowned for their durability, strength, and little chance of damaging. While vinyl pools have many advantages, fiberglass pools are generally less susceptible to puncture. This reduces the possibility of damage and the pool’s overall maintenance expenses over time.
Some of the most common punctures in liner pools include the sharp ends of a pool pole, dog claws, and a wide range of non-pool-safe toys and objects. Fiberglass pools typically have less concern for these items.
Multiple Shapes & Colors
Sometimes, customers think they have fewer design options if they choose a fiberglass pool. While this was once the case, it is no longer true. Fiberglass pool surface colors come in various colors, including sand, grey, black, and shades of blue, creating the desired ambience. In addition, the shapes of fiberglass pools are continuously evolving. Various shapes are available for backyards and budgets, including graded entries, sundecks, rectangles, and asymmetrical ones.
Smooth Surface
Fibreglass swimming pools’ smooth, non-abrasive surfaces are quite popular among families, particularly those with kids. It provides a safer and more enjoyable swimming experience. Unlike rough concrete or tiled surfaces that can cause scrapes, bruises, or even painful blisters, the silky finish of a fibreglass pool provides a gentle skin feel, allowing swimmers to move freely without worry. The comfort is present in all pool areas, from the steps to the seating areas, ensuring a safe and enjoyable swimming experience.
The smooth finish of these pools also greatly improves their overall aesthetic appeal, creating a sleek and contemporary appearance that complements any backyard design. The smooth, shiny surface reflects light beautifully, adding a touch of sophistication and luxury to your outdoor area.
Fiberglass Pools Can Increase Property Resale Value
A fiberglass pool can significantly enhance the value of your home, although not all swimming pools can achieve this. A fiberglass pool can boost your home’s value by approximately 5% in certain markets. So, investing in a home can be worthwhile, even if you don’t intend to permanently reside there.
What makes fiberglass pools more valuable than other types? It’s simple: most homebuyers want a pool but don’t want a headache-inducing option. In other words, they are looking for a durable, visually appealing, low-maintenance pool option.
