The latter have become popular for their resistance, visual quality and for their profitability, so today we will tell you what they are, how they are assembled, what are their characteristics and benefits. Let’s get started!
What are fiberglass pools?
Fiberglass pools are prefabricated from this industrial polymer that is made up of thin glass filaments to which a polyester resin is added to obtain a flexible, durable, resistant and easy to maintain product.
The fiberglass is molded in a factory to obtain a one-piece product, ready to be installed in the place where an excavation is made with the area and depth made to measure of the bowl where the pool will be.

Characteristics of fiberglass pools
They are affordable. Unlike a concrete pool, fiberglass pools are up to 50% cheaper (or even more) because you don’t need to buy construction materials like cement or rebar, and no construction labor is required.
No need to assemble. Being a prefabricated product, they are acquired with the desired size and shape, which avoids the risk of water leaks that assembly entails.
Variety of models. There is a huge variety of fiberglass pools in various sizes and even with different finishes, which emulate a concrete pool with luxury materials such as granite.
Lightness. Fiberglass pools are very light, so they can be easily moved and installed; Even if you move house or expand your property, you can uninstall them and reinstall them elsewhere.
Saving. In addition to the lower cost of ownership for fiberglass pools, maintenance is also cheaper because attachments such as pumps and filters consume less electricity when cleaning the water.
Ease of cleaning. Fiberglass is a material that does not grow algae, which makes it easier to keep the water clean. In addition, the smooth surfaces also facilitate hand washing or brushing, and are compatible with automatic cleaning systems, saving 70% on chemicals compared to concrete pools.
Endurance. Fiberglass is a polymer resistant to weathering, in contact with water, so it is a highly durable material that withstands high temperatures, in case of an earthquake its fracture or deterioration is little, and it is only affected if takes direct hits with great weight.
Installing. Usually customers install fiberglass pools themselves, but it is not recommended since a firm base is needed to withstand the weight of the pool, the water and possible accessories, such as cleaning pumps, or access stairs.
In addition, it is important that the customer knows that fiberglass pools can be submerged or raised with an outer coating, sufficiently resistant to water pressure. In this way, they can be installed inside hotel rooms, rooftops, patios of small houses, party rooms, among other places where they will look spectacular.
A few decades ago it was difficult to find a variety of fiberglass pool models, but today there are different sizes, shapes, finishes, depths, colors and textures, so the end consumer can be sure that they will find the ideal one.
