There are many benefits to buying an in-ground fiberglass swimming pool.
Quick as a splash.
Your fiberglass swimming pool can be installed in as little as 2 weeks, of course pending weather, permits, inspections, etc. In comparison, a concrete pool may take as long as 3-5 months to complete. When you purchase a fiberglass swimming pool, the shell arrives on-site pre-formed, complete and ready to go into the ground.
Maintenance free.
Under normal conditions, the “gelcoat” finish never needs painting. It’s smooth inert surface cleans easily, resists stains and requires less maintenance over time.
Add a little salt.
Salt water pools are becoming increasingly popular for their healthy, natural feel. Salt water is totally compatible with fiberglass pools as long as you properly maintain your water chemistry.
Flexing it’s muscle.
Our fully molded one piece 100% fiberglass swimming pool shells flex without cracking to accommodate earth movement unlike concrete and other pre-formed pools that contain mineral fillers which have been known to reduce flexibility.
The big finish.
Beautiful SHIMMER, with a finished surface, called gel coat. The “gelcoat” is applied during the manufacturing process.
Smooth and safe.
