What is Fiberglass?
Fiberglass pools are in-mold, handcrafted pools that arrive at your home ready to be installed in your yard. The fiberglass is created from millions of interwoven glass threads covered with a polyester resin. It’s an incredibly sturdy material that’s ideal for an in-ground pool.
In comparison, a concrete pool requires a steel or wooden framework that needs to be covered by a mixture of cement, sand, and water. Fiberglass is the material of choice for bathtubs, sinks, hot tubs, and multi-million dollar yachts, not to mention airplanes, helicopters, exotic automobiles and many other high-performance products. As such, fiberglass is the best choice for the material for your inground swimming pool.
How Much Does it Cost to Maintain a Fiberglass Pool?
One of the most appealing aspects of a fiberglass pool is its longevity and durability. With a fiberglass pool, you don’t have to worry about repairing damaged concrete or replacing the pool liner. The initial investment may seem steep, but remember, spending more upfront will allow you to enjoy your pool for years to come and save you from costly, time-consuming repairs.
Your Pool Warranty
Another factor to consider when you weigh the cost of a fiberglass pool is whether a warranty is included and what it covers. Some pool manufacturers will require you to pay extra for a warranty and this can increase the initial cost of your pool. Latham (our manufacturer) understands that a pool is a significant investment. Their pools are backed by our legendary limited lifetime warranty, which is the longest in the industry and allows pool buyers to have confidence in our products.
The limited lifetime warranty combined with the minimal upkeep requirements of a fiberglass pool means you can feel good about your investment knowing that it doesn’t come with hidden costs down the line.
Fiberglass Pools are Long Lasting and Durable
If you’re looking for a worry-free pool you can enjoy for years to come, a fiberglass pool is an excellent investment. Compared to concrete pools, fiberglass pools are easier to maintain, stronger and more durable.
The upfront costs may seem higher than other pool types, but this eliminates the need for costly repairs and maintenance. All things considered, a fiberglass pool may actually cost less in the long run because you won’t need to pay for replacement parts or repairs.
Building a pool is just like building a house. If you invest in high-quality materials and features like new window treatments, you save yourself time and money in the long run. You can save a few bucks now by using subpar materials, but you will have to replace things faster and this will end up costing you more. Why not invest in high-quality materials from the start?
