Why Choose A Fibreglass Swimming Pool?


Each year more and more Australians become pool owners, and if you're considering joining the pool ownership club, you may be wondering which type of pool is best.

Fibreglass pools have always been and continue to be front runners, and in this post, we'll explain why we think fibreglass is the superior choice and one you'll be happy with for life.

A breeze to install

Fibreglass pools are the fastest and easiest pools to install of all the pools on the market. As they are prefabricated and delivered, there is less construction work involved to install the pool. Once the ground has been excavated, it is just a matter of having the pool lifted into place and fitted. The simplicity of a fibreglass pool installation means you can have your pool installed in as little as a week rather than months. This enables you to enjoy swimming sooner without the hassle of having tradies at your home for an extended period.

Superior performance and longevity

Our fibreglass pools Melbourne are skilfully engineered using the very latest fibreglass pool technology to bring our customer's superior performance and longevity when it comes to their new swimming pool. All of our shells are manufactured in state-of-the-art plants using the best equipment and fibreglass on the market. Every element of our shell building is meticulously overlooked to ensure each one is constructed to the same high standard. Even our facilities are temperature controlled to ensure optimal curing. The same level of precision cannot be achieved when building a pool from scratch on site. External factors such as rain and the temperature can affect the end result and cause setbacks in the installation process.

Fibreglass naturally has a slight flex which enables it to withstand minor earth shifts without inhibiting the integrity of the shell.

Fibreglass pools are one of the longest-lasting pools that money can buy, and because of this, you'll find the warranties are much more generous than that of other pool types.

Tonnes of colours, designs, and styles to choose from

One thing you're not short of when choosing a fibreglass pool is options. At Melbourne Fibreglass Pool Company, we are constantly updating your collection to offer the most generous selection that caters to every taste, budget, and backyard. Our pools come in endless colours, designs, shapes and sizes featuring both classic designs and newer, more contemporary styles. We have pools for petite backyards, big backyards, and everything in between. Our friendly team can collaborate with you to find the right swimming pool and surrounding elements to ensure it ties in with your backyard perfectly.

They are comfortable and non-abrasive

Concrete pools are known for their abrasive surface, vinyl-liner pools tend to be slippery, and a fibreglass pool is soft underfoot while offering exceptional traction. You never have to worry about slipping over in a fibreglass pool or getting scratches from the pool walls or floor. Inflatable pool toys will often pop when they brush against the edge of a concrete pool, and they can wear the material of costumes. You will not have this issue with a fibreglass pool. All our swimming pools feature non-slip surfaces, steps, and ledges. Additionally, they have a child safety ledge running on the inside of the pool for added peace of mind when children are swimming in the pool.

Save time and money on pool care and maintenance

Everyone loves the idea of having a swimming pool, but cleaning it, not so much. As the surface is impervious and smooth, algae and bacteria cannot attach themselves to the surface and accumulate. Algae is not only unsightly, but it can put your pool out of action until it is remedied. Due to the algae-resistant nature of the interior of a fibreglass pool, it is easier to clean and maintain. This means less time physically cleaning the pool and less money on pool cleaning chemicals.

Highly suitable with all sanitisation options

There are several different types of sanitisation options available for pools these days including traditional chlorine, salt and mineral. Fibreglass pools are highly compatible with all of these options allowing you to have flexibility in your choice.

You can customise your pool to suit your specific swim needs

Buying a swimming pool means that you can customise it to suit your swimming and lifestyle needs perfectly. There are many additional extras you can add to your pool to make it a dream oasis. Here are some of the many options available to you:

  • Pool heating

  • Pool lighting

  • Spa jets

  • Swim jets

  • Self-cleaning systems

  • Tanning ledge

  • Water feature

  • Slides

  • Automatic pool cover

  • And so much more

A pool alone is fun, with these extras, you can take your pool to the next level.

They heat well and stay warmer for longer

Some other types of pools take a long time to heat, and retaining warmth in the pool can be a challenge you may find the water is quite cold when getting in the pool. If you want pool heating, a fibreglass pool is a perfect option. They heat up quicker and stay hotter for longer. They insulate warmth and can make swimming in your pool more enjoyable especially when the weather is cooler. A few degrees can make the biggest of differences to the comfortability of the water.

Can save you money on chemicals

As touched on previously, fibreglass pools are less prone to bacteria and algae infestations, therefore, you won't need to rebalance the chemical levels of your pool excessively, and this can save you money on product. When the pool becomes unbalanced, high doses of chemicals typically need to be added to the water to fix it. Not having to do this can save you money and quite a bit in the long term.

Fibreglass pools are an undeniable top choice when it comes to swimming pool options

As you can see, there are many benefits to choosing a fibreglass pool over other types.
