FIBERGLASS POOLSFiberglass swimming pools are one of the most rewarding and customized ways to transform your backyard into the ultimate outdoor sanctuary. Compared to concrete pools, fiberglass pools are the easiest to maintain and have the strongest and most durable material. When you invest in a fiberglass pool, you’re building a pool that will last a lifetime and remain a constant source of relaxation, fun, beauty, and delight year after year.

WHAT IS A FIBERGLASS POOL? Fiberglass pools are in-mold, handcrafted pools that arrive at your home ready to be installed in your yard. The fiberglass is created from millions of interwoven glass threads covered with a polyester resin. It’s an incredibly sturdy material that’s ideal for an in-ground pool. In comparison, a concrete pool requires a steel or wooden framework that needs to be covered by a mixture of cement, sand, and water. Fiberglass is the material of choice for bathtubs, sinks, hot tubs, and multi-million dollar yachts, not to mention, airplanes, helicopters, exotic automobiles and many other high-performance products. As such, fiberglass is the best choice for the material for your in-ground swimming pool.

Initial Steps in Installing a Fiberglass Pool
The Process:
Step 1. The inside finish is applied to the pool mold, which is in a gel coat form that hardens through polymerization. This gives the pool interior a smooth, durable, and algae-resistant surface.
Step 2. The pool mold is then turned upside down, and the outer surface is layered with chopped fiberglass – the first layer has vinyl ester resin, and the second has polyester resin added to it. This gives the pool a non-porous and watertight barrier.
Step 3. For additional strength and to prevent bulging, a woven glass mesh material (roving) and a rigid ribbed structure are added on the bottom and sides, respectively.
Step 4. A final layer of fiberglass mixed with polyester resin is applied before it is set aside to cure for adequate time.
Step 5. The shell is taken out of the mold, and the excess material gets trimmed. Before the pool shell goes to the site, it undergoes a complete quality check.
ADVANTAGES OF BUYING A FIBERGLASS POOL:
Quicker Installation
Anyone eager to get their backyard pool understands the value of a fast installation job. Compared to other types, a fiberglass pool takes the least amount of time to install (typically three to six weeks, even for a large in-ground pool).
Less Cleanup After the Job Is Done
The Norco installers are ready when the pre-made mold arrives, meaning – there is the minimal effort needed for post-project cleanup. Even additional details, such as seating, steps, tile patterns, and in-floor cleaning systems are pre-installed.
Savings on Maintenance Costs
When well-maintained, fiberglass pools can last for up to 30 years without requiring resurfacing. You also do not need to keep adding chemicals or clean the walls every weekend.
Non-Porous Surface Means Less Damage
The gel coat on the interior pool finish makes the surface smooth and non-abrasive, which means a comfortable swim and in-pool play session. The non-porous surface prevents algae from building up.
Highly Durable and Reliable
The fiberglass swimming pool shell is made of extremely tough and durable material, entwined with several layers of fortifying vinyl ester and polyester resins. These factors make a fiberglass pool less likely to break. So, it does not need a renovation unless there is significant repair or damage.
The Six Layers in your Fiberglass Pool Shell
Pool Size
A fiberglass pool must not exceed a width of 16 feet, and anything more requires extensive transportation permits. But by investing in beautiful landscape designs, you can achieve the look you are going for and balance the sleek appearance of the pool.
- Excavate the site and level the pool.
- Install the plumbing, filtration, and circulation systems.
- Back-fill the pool shell and install the tile and coping.
- Build the deck and surrounding landscape.
