Advantages of Fiberglass Swimming Pools

Fiberglass pools are prefabricated shells, molded in a factory and then transported to your site for installation. They've become increasingly popular, especially in climates like Colorado's, due to their unique benefits:

• Rapid Installation: One of the biggest draws! Fiberglass pools can often be installed and ready for water in a matter of weeks, sometimes even days, as the shell arrives pre-made. This means less disruption to your backyard and a quicker path to swimming enjoyment.

• Low Maintenance: The smooth, non-porous gel coat surface of a fiberglass pool naturally resists algae growth. This translates to less scrubbing, fewer chemicals needed for water balance, and overall lower maintenance time and costs compared to other pool types.

• Durability and Flexibility (Great for Colorado!): Fiberglass shells are incredibly strong and designed to flex with ground movement, making them highly resistant to cracking, especially important in areas with freeze-thaw cycles like Colorado. They are built to last for decades.

• Smooth, Comfortable Surface: The gel coat finish is smooth to the touch, providing a comfortable surface for your feet and skin. No rough edges or abrasions to worry about, making it ideal for families with children.

• Energy Efficiency: Fiberglass pools offer better insulation properties than concrete, which can help retain heat and reduce energy costs, especially beneficial if you plan to heat your pool during Colorado's cooler months.

• Built-in Features: Many fiberglass models come with integrated features like steps, benches, tanning ledges, and even spas as part of the molded shell, often at a lower cost than adding these features to a custom concrete pool.
