The Benefits of Fibreglass Pool Installations
Adding a swim space to a home or commercial property is a surefire way to add value, curb appeal and enjoyment. If you dream of doing the backstroke in your own backyard pool, it’s time to make those dreams a reality withx Puddle Pool Services.
Simple Installation
In the past, having an inground pool installed meant heavy excavation, laying rebar foundations, pouring concrete, waiting for it to cure, laying liners, installing plumbing and more. This process can last for weeks, or even months. This is made even worse when you consider the extreme weather shifts in Ottawa. Cold weather will bring a pool build to a screeching halt so it puts hard time limits on your project.
A fibreglass pool is pre-built, eliminating the lengthy installation process. Once an area is excavated, pools are brought and placed directly inside the designated pool opening. From there, pool shells are secured in place. This process lasts a few days instead of several weeks or months!
Low Maintenance
Fibreglass pools are made by layering strands of fibreglass with layers of resin. The result is an extremely durable shell. Concrete is a porous material, making it vulnerable to algae growth and damage. A fibreglass model is resistant to microbial growth. A gel coat finish also prevents staining, and damage caused by UV exposure or chemical imbalances.
Flexible Materials
Property owners in Ontario are familiar with shifting soils caused by extreme temperature shifts. Pools made from fibreglass are flexible so when soil begins to shift you don’t have to worry about cracks or bulging walls.
Many Pool Design Options
Just because pool shells are pre-made doesn’t mean that they all look the same. Don’t get stuck with a cookie-cutter swim space when you can browse dozens of designs, choosing the best one for your yard.
Longer Lifespan
When maintained properly fibreglass shells will last longer than any inground or above ground pool. With proper maintenance, a vinyl liner will last somewhere between 10-15 years but a fibreglass swimming pool can last several decades! Concrete pools will need to be resurfaced and repaired but durable materials and gel coatings mean that fibreglass models don’t!
