Fiberglass pools have made a comeback in the last decade, and now construction companies across the country are offering them as an affordable pool alternative. One of the main reasons why fiberglass pools are increasing in popularity is their relatively low cost in comparison to concrete pools. Here are some reasons why fiberglass pools might give concrete pools a run for their money.

Color and Texture

Fiberglass pools can be made to look like any other type of pool, but they are often made with a smooth white finish. This makes fiberglass pools ideal for people who want a minimalist look to their pool, but it also makes it easy to keep the water clean. When you have a smooth surface, algae growth is less likely because there is nothing for it to cling to or grow on. Fiberglass pools can also be painted with different colors if that is what you prefer.

Maintenance 

Concrete pools require regular maintenance because they are much harder surfaces than fiberglass ones. Fiberglass pools do not need much maintenance because they do not have cracks or crevices where dirt can gather or where algae can grow. With a fiberglass pool, all you need to do is brush off any loose dirt before it has time to settle into the surface of your pool and start causing problems.

Environmentally Friendly

Concrete pools are made using cement and other materials that are harmful to the environment. Fiberglass pools do not use these materials; they use sand, silica, and limestone instead. The material used in fiberglass pools is also very easy to recycle, making them even more environmentally friendly than concrete pools.

Durable

Concrete pools can be vulnerable to wear and weathering in direct sunlight. This can make them more prone to cracks and general deterioration over time. Fiberglass is much less likely to crack or break because it doesn't absorb water as concrete does, so there's no worry about cracks forming over time due to weathering effects or other factors.

Installation Ease

Because fiberglass pools are made from synthetic resin and glass fibers that are molded into a pool shape, they are easy to install. Concrete pools, on the other hand, require multiple steps to create their final shape. They involve pouring concrete into forms and waiting for it to dry before pouring more concrete on top of it. Fiberglass pools do not require any formwork or drying time between layers of material. This makes fiberglass pools much easier and less expensive to install than concrete ones.

A fiberglass pool is usually less expensive, faster, and easier to install. Call a fiberglass pool installation service to start planning.
