The perfect swimming pool must look good, have all the necessary features, and be durable. Fiberglass pools have surged in popularity in recent years, and for good reasons. They offer a myriad of benefits that cater to the needs of modern homeowners looking for durability, ease of maintenance, and aesthetic appeal. In this blog, we'll delve into the advantages of fiberglass pools and why they might be the ideal choice for your backyard oasis.
Durability and Strength
Fiberglass pools are renowned for their resilience and longevity, which is a distinct benefit considering the extremes of weather in our region. Constructed from a seamless one-piece, pre-formed shell made from fiberglass and resin, these pools are designed to withstand fluctuating temperatures and harsh weather conditions without cracking or buckling. The flexibility of fiberglass allows for slight movements within the earth, making it an excellent choice for regions with high and low temperatures.
We stock Narellan Pools, whose proprietary gel coat and laminate construction ensure their pools can withstand all climate conditions across the globe. All Narellan Pools come with a Lifetime Structural Warranty.
Low Maintenance
One of the most appealing aspects of fiberglass pools for homeowners is their low maintenance requirements. We firmly believe that you should spend more time enjoying your pool and less time maintaining it, so fiberglass fits the bill.
The non-porous surface of a fiberglass pool inhibits the growth of algae and bacteria, so you will need fewer chemicals to keep the water clean and balanced. This not only saves time and effort in pool upkeep but also reduces the long-term costs associated with chemical purchases, making fiberglass pools a family-friendly choice for those concerned with sensitive skin.
Quick Installation
Time is a luxury, and fiberglass pools offer the benefit of a quick installation process. Unlike concrete pools, which can take several months to complete, a fiberglass pool can be installed in a matter of weeks. The shell arrives pre-formed and ready to be set into the excavated hole, greatly expediting installation. You can enjoy your new pool much sooner than you might expect if you choose fiberglass for your pool.
Smooth Finish
We’ve already mentioned how the gel coat surface of a fiberglass pool is extremely durable, but it is also very smooth to the touch. This eliminates the risk of scrapes and cuts from rough surfaces, which is especially important if you have young children. The smooth finish also contributes to the pool's cleanliness, as there are no crevices for dirt and algae to hide in.
Aesthetically Pleasing
The pre-built nature of fiberglass pools doesn’t limit your options. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colours, allowing for a high degree of customization to suit your taste and complement your home's aesthetic. The gel coat finish provides a beautiful, shimmering effect that enhances the pool's visual appeal and can be tailored to match your landscaping design. Paired with Brad Cross Watershapes landscaping (our associated partner), your fiberglass pool will sit seamlessly in a luxurious backyard environment.
Energy Efficiency
Fiberglass is an insulating material, making these pools more energy-efficient than their concrete counterparts. Fiberglass pools retain heat better, which can help to reduce heating costs and may even extend the pool season at either end. This insulation also means that the pool can maintain a consistent temperature, providing a comfortable swimming experience no matter how long the family wishes to stay in the water.
Eco-Friendly
As you might have guessed from the energy savings, fiberglass pools are an eco-friendly option that doesn’t compromise quality. The reduced need for chemicals and energy for heating contributes to a much smaller environmental footprint, which is ideal for the environmentally conscious homeowner. Additionally, the longevity of fiberglass pools means less frequent replacements, reducing waste over time and making savings financially.
Compatibility with Salt Systems
Fiberglass pools are compatible with saltwater systems, too, which are gentler on the skin and eyes than traditional chlorine pools, again making them a family-friendly choice. Saltwater systems can also further reduce your maintenance efforts and costs, so they are worth considering for your new pool.
