"One
Piece" Fiberglass Pools are manufactured in
factories utilizing quality control standards and
transported to the jobsite. The composition of the
product consists of a durable non porous gel coat
interior finish usually reinforced on the back with
a composite material - primarily fiberglass reinforced
plastic.
Most manufacturers offer many varieties of sizes
and shapes. With newer technologies for color, fiberglass
pools offer a wide range of options for the simple
to sophisticated buyer. Many options are available
that give fiberglass pools a permanent aesthetic
appeal.
The process of construction involves digging a hole
to match the shape of the pool, then sand or pea
gravel is washed into the voided areas simultaneously
while the pool is being filled to create a solid
base for the pool to rest against. Once this backfill
process is complete, plumbing, equipment placement
and decking would complete the pool.
Considerations
You can choose from a variety of shapes and sizes
to fit your backyard and entertainment needs. Bench
seating, swim outs, and other designs vary by size
and models. Depths vary by model with only a few
manufacturers offering pools deep enough for a diving
board. Pools of these depths offer unique challenges
in the building process and usually cost and take
more time to install.
Interior Finish Colors and texture looking finishes
are available on limited manufacturer basis and
as most colors may fade over time from UV exposure.
Although these pools may cost more to purchase they
offer a very unique appearance and hide blemishes,
stains and dirt very well. Optional tile border
and inlaid tile mosaics are features that can add
life and color to your pool. There are a variety
of lightening options to make your pool safer as
well as bring it to life at night.
Decking and Coping Decking choices are unlimited
- exposed fiberglass coping for the economy minded
individual. Stained, stamped, or cantilevered for
the more permanent aesthetic appeal of a more sophisticated
buyer. Coping choices can be stone or brick with
a number of different textures, profiles, and coordinated
colors.
Upgrade Possibilities & Accessories Most features
can be added after installation, but it is generally
more cost effective to include the features you
desire at the time of initial installation. Many
options are available such as spillover spas, waterfalls,
hydrotherapy jets / equipment, computer command
centers, and modern sanitizing systems. In addition,
there are also a number of accessories and outdoor
activity centers to complement your pool area and
vary by builder.
