Fiberglass Pool Installation & Replacement

How fiberglass pools became popular

With the rising demand for home pools after the second world war, a new model of pool made its debut on the market in the 1950s--the Fiberglass Pool. Fiberglass, a material formed by embedding glass fibers into resin, is used in all sorts of applications. From airplane parts to bathtubs, fiberglass has been recognized as a highly durable and dependable material for all sorts of uses.

The advantages of a fiberglass pool

While there are many types of pools made from various materials, there’s a reason why fiberglass is such a popular option among homeowners. This popularity can be attributed to their high level of durability against the elements, with fiberglass being the material that stands up best to sun, snow, and debris. Fiberglass is an ideal material for all climates and requires significantly less maintenance, expense, and construction.

With fiberglass, you also have the option between an inground or above ground pool, where other materials can limit this design choice to being either one or the other. Fiberglass can even be installed semi-inground, for a best of both worlds.

Much like concrete, a fiberglass pool can be largely customized, even coming in a variety of shapes and sizes, including various depths. The difference largely lies in the method of construction. A fiberglass pool is a prefabricated shell so that when it arrives, it’s ready to be installed right away. With concrete, the process is much more involved, including time for the concrete to fully and properly set before it can be sealed.

A fiberglass pool is a wonderful addition to any home, with the added benefit of endless fun, and a handsome boost to property value if you ever decide to sell. If you’ve been considering investing in a fiberglass pool, the experts here at HomePro Match are just a call or click away!
