Do you have an in-ground pool project in mind? You're not alone. After all, quality pools can enhance your landscaping and increase the value of your property.
If you're thinking of having an in-ground pool of any shape installed in your backyard, but don't know what type of in-ground pool to choose from all the models on the market, keep reading to discover the fiberglass pools offer many advantages over other composite materials.
A in-ground fiberglass pool offers a number of advantages over other pool models:
Visit fiberglass pools are the easiest type of pool to maintain. They require minimal maintenance, since they don't need a vinyl liner.
Unlike concrete or vinyl pools, the smooth, non-porous surface of fiberglass prevents algae, bacteria and other micro-organisms from clinging to it, reducing the need for frequent cleaning.
Fiberglass's low porosity also means it's resistant to staining and fading, allowing easy, effective cleaning with minimum effort.
What's more, fiberglass is less prone to damage from water treatment chemicals than other pool materials, further reducing maintenance costs and frequency.
Fiberglass pools are more energy-efficient. The properties of fiberglass make it very easy to heat, compared with standard in-ground liner pools.
To give you an idea, the water in a fiberglass pool is about 6 to 8 degrees Celsius warmer than a standard in-ground pool with a liner.
This reduces your electricity bills. What's more, with other models of standard in-ground pool with liner, you'll need to plan for a liner change every 10 years or so, and this work is worth between 5,000$ and 10,000$.
This allows you to make considerable savings in long-term maintenance costs with fiberglass.
Fiberglass is known for its superior quality and incredible resistance to different weather conditions and temperature variations. This makes it an ideal choice for pools in regions where weather conditions can be severe.
Owners of fiberglass pools can therefore rest assured that their pool will be able to withstand the harsh winter conditions often encountered in Quebec.
In fact, fiberglass is a highly resistant material that does not expand or contract with temperature variations, unlike other materials such as concrete.
Fiberglass pools have an added advantage over concrete or vinyl pools in terms of durability: their resistance to chemicals. Fiberglass pool shells are naturally resistant to chemicals such as chlorine, algaecides and acids.
This means the pool is less likely to be damaged by harsh chemicals, which can reduce maintenance costs and extend pool life.
Unlike concrete or vinyl pools, which can require costly repairs over time, fiberglass pools are known for their long-term durability.
Fiberglass shells are monocoque, meaning they are molded in one solid piece, making them resistant to leaks and cracks. Fiberglass pools are also more resistant to weather and extreme temperatures than other types of pool.
Fiberglass pool installation takes an average of 8 hours. Installation of a standard concrete pool with liner takes a minimum of 17 days.
This is because fiberglass pools are factory-built, and installation involves leveling the pool and backfilling, following the water level in the pool.
Vinyl-lined and concrete pools require specific weather conditions to avoid damage during creation in the customer's backyard.
Fiberglass pools from Aqua Fibre Innovation offers enhanced safety, with full-width steps to make learning to swim easier, strategically positioned steps around the pool and benches for resting while swimming.
Fiberglass is more comfortable than concrete for a pool or spa for several reasons:
Fiberglass pools and spas have a smooth surface, which is more pleasant to the touch than rough concrete. The fiberglass surface is also less abrasive, which can reduce skin irritation.
Fiberglass pools and spas require less maintenance than concrete structures. The smooth surface doesn't allow algae and other organisms to cling as easily, reducing the need for cleaning and maintenance.
Fiberglass is a natural insulator, which means it keeps the water temperature more stable. This means the water remains at a more constant temperature, which is more comfortable for swimmers and bathers.
Fiberglass pools and spas are also more durable than concrete structures. Fiberglass is more resistant to cracking and weather damage, which means it lasts longer than concrete.
When it comes to construction and the building process, fiberglass pools and spas are generally prefabricated at the factory, then transported to the installation site.
This means the construction process is faster and less invasive than for a concrete pool or spa, which often requires pouring a concrete slab and building concrete walls and structures.
What's more, fiberglass can be molded into a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing greater flexibility in pool or spa design.

Fiberglass pools come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors to suit every homeowner's needs and tastes. Fiberglass pool manufacturers like Aqua Fibre Innovation use molds to create factory-prefabricated shells that can be modified to meet each customer's specific requirements.
Fiberglass pools can be found in a variety of shapes, such as rectangular, oval and round, to name but a few. What's more, pool shapes can be customized to suit a specific space or to meet particular design requirements.
As far as sizes are concerned, fiberglass pools are available in a wide range of dimensions, from small children's pools to Olympic-size swimming pools.
What's more, fiberglass pools are available in a variety of colors, from light, natural ones such as blue and green, to bolder ones such as black or gray.
Thanks to their solid monocoque construction, fiberglass pools offer great installation flexibility, which means they can be installed in a wide variety of terrains, including those with slopes or unstable ground.
Homeowners can therefore install fiberglass pools in places where installation of other types of pool may be difficult or impossible.
Sloping terrain or unstable ground can present challenges when installing a concrete pool, for example, but these problems can be avoided with a fiberglass pool.
Although the initial investment for a fiberglass pool may be higher than for a vinyl pool, long-term maintenance and repair costs are generally lower.
Fiberglass pools require fewer chemicals for water treatment than vinyl pools, which can reduce maintenance costs. The smooth, non-porous surface of fiberglass also prevents the growth of algae and other organisms, further reducing the need for chemicals and cleaning.
Fiberglass shells are more resistant to cracks and weather damage than vinyl pools, which can reduce long-term repair costs.
Finally, the superior durability of fiberglass pools means they last longer than vinyl pools, which can reduce replacement costs over the long term.
Choosing a fiberglass spa in addition to, or instead of, a fiberglass pool can depend on your needs, budget and available space. Here are a few reasons why you might consider opting for a spa in addition to, or instead of, a new monocoque pool:
