Fibreglass Pools

Premoulded fibreglass pools are by far the quickest and cheapest option. However the buyer is restricted to the colours, shapes and sizes on offer from the factory. They are preformed in a factory and transported to the site for installation. No finish is required during installation, as the fibreglass has already been coated with a gel coat satin finish during construction in the factory.
Fibreglass is a non-porous material, this means that chemicals in your water will last longer leading to lower maintenance costs; fibreglass shells also retains heat longer than other pool surfaces. The surface is smooth; this reduces the time spent on cleaning and maintenance of your swimming pool. The gel-coat finish also adds to a seamlessly clean cut look and feel. Penguin pools fibreglass shells are manufactured using only the best quality materials available; thus increasing the lifespan of the shell.

In the case of fibreglass pools proper weekly chemical and cleaning maintenance is a must for protecting the fibreglass pool’s gel coat finish. The ring that forms around the pool wall from body oils and suntan lotions is easily removed with nonabrasive tile or vinyl cleaners. Do not use anything abrasive, as it will permanently damage the gel coat finish.

The gel coat satin finish makes it impossible to scratch or irritate the skin while swimming. It is also very smooth so algae cannot grip onto the sides, which makes it a far healthier option. The fibreglass pool never has to be drained for acid washing, marbeliting or repainting. A lot less chemicals will be needed because of this factor. The water in fibreglass pools will always be a few degrees warmer than the concrete option.

When we think of concrete we all tend to believe it is the best way to go as it is strong and durable. The fibreglass pool is as strong, and in unstable conditions such as clay, if correctly installed, the fibreglass can stretch without cracking.

Although you are restricted by the shapes and sizes available, you can still be creative with the pool fixtures and add-ons and create an entertainment area to be proud of.
