Fiberglass Pool Advantages
Homeowners have three choices
for inground pool construction:
vinyl, gunite and fibgerglass.
Fiberglass technology
revolutionized the swimming pool
industry. Vinyl pools are quick
to install but are also prone to
tears, discoloration and leaks.
Gunite pools take a long time to
install and require a great deal
of labor. Still, even gunite
pools crack with time and
require replastering. With
fiberglass, you can enjoy pool
ownership without the worry,
inconvenience or expense
associated with vinyl and gunite.
Fiberglass pools are strong,
flexible, resistant to cracks,
easy to maintain and quick to
install.
Strength and Flexability
Gunite pools are very
strong, but not flexible. As the
ground shifts, that strength
eventually leads to cracks.
Fiberglass pools are flexible
and strong. As the ground
shifts, they flex to accommodate
the new topography instead of
cracking. Cracks are an eyesore,
can lead to leaks and can be
expensive to repair. With
fiberglass, you don't have to
worry about how your pool will
hold up to ground movement now
or years from now. Your pool is
built to last and endure.
Maintenance
Fiberglass pools are
amazingly easy to care for. If
you've had a pool that was a
headache, chances are it wasn't
fiberglass. A fiberglass pool
has a smooth, non-porous
gel-coat finish. Algae cannot
cling to the smooth walls of a
fiberglass pool the way it can
to the rough walls of a gunite
pool. Another advantage inherent
to fiberglass pools is the fact
that their surfaces are
chemically inert and do not lead
to water chemistry imbalances.
Gunite pools release calcium and
other minerals into the water,
working against the pool owner
as he or she attempts to balance
the pH. When you have a
fiberglass pool, your pool is
working with you to make your
job as easy as possible.
Texture
The gel-coat finish on
a fiberglass is smooth and non
abrasive. Even the
skid-resistant pool floors are
non abrasive and a pleasure to
walk on. Do you ever remember
leaving a pool to find your or
your children's feet covered in
blisters or your swim suit
snagged? Gunite pools are
notorious for their painfully
abrasive texture. Fiberglass is
smooth so it is comfortable and
safe to swim and play in. With a
fiberglass pool your pool
surface will never scare you
away from enjoying your
investment.
Cost
Fiberglass and gunite
pool installations generate
comparable material and
equipment costs, but fiberglass
pools require much less labor
than do gunite pools. Where a
gunite pool might take anywhere
from one to three months to
install, a fiberglass pool is
full of water and running in
about two weeks. That's anywhere
from two weeks to two and a half
months less labor costs for you
to finance. The savings are
significant and bring the cost
of adding a pool to your
backyard down without
sacrificing quality. That is the
advantage of using fiberglass
technology.
When built properly, gunite
pools are good pools; but a
fiberglass pool by Gary's Pool
and Patio is a great pool. Our
pools are easier on your feet,
faster to install, less
expensive and require less
chemicals and less maintenance
than do gunite pools. This is
why so many people are turning
to fiberglass. Shouldn't your
pool be a pleasure to care for
and swim in? Submit a pool
inquiry or give us a call to
