The Ultimate Guide to Fiberglass Pools: Benefits, Features and Why They’re the Smart Choice

Making the decision to install a swimming pool transforms your backyard into a haven for family memories, entertainment and enhanced property value. But with various construction materials available, why are savvy homeowners increasingly choosing fiberglass? Let’s explore the compelling advantages that make fiberglass pools, especially those from Leisure Pools, the superior investment for your home.

When you invest in a fiberglass pool from Leisure Pools, you’re choosing engineering excellence that spans generations. Our revolutionary Composite Armour™ technology creates a shell that’s remarkably robust yet maintains the flexibility to adapt to ground movement. Unlike concrete pools, which are prone to cracking, or vinyl liners that require frequent replacement, our fiberglass pools maintain their structural integrity for decades with minimal intervention.

While traditional concrete pools can drag on for 3-6 months of construction, our pool installation typically concludes in just 2-3 weeks. Leisure Pools’ state-of-the-art pre-manufactured shells arrive ready for installation. As a result, your wait time is dramatically reduced. You can go from groundbreaking to first swim in a short amount of time. This expedited process means less disruption to your property and faster enjoyment of your investment.

While initial costs may align with other pool options, fiberglass pools deliver substantial long-term financial advantages:

• Significantly reduced chemical requirements due to non-porous surface technology
• Lower energy costs through hydrodynamic efficiency and reduced pump strain
• No expensive resurfacing or liner replacement needed
• Minimal ongoing maintenance expenses and time investment

Leisure Pools’ proprietary AQUAGUARD®X gelcoat finish is stunning in and of itself. However, it’s engineered for optimal performance. The ultra-smooth surface prevents abrasions on skin, swimwear and pool accessories. Unlike concrete pools that become increasingly rough over time, our fiberglass maintains its luxurious texture indefinitely. The non-porous surface also naturally resists algae growth, simplifying maintenance and reducing chemical requirements.

Modern fiberglass pool technology has evolved far beyond basic shapes. Leisure Pools offers an extensive collection of sophisticated designs, from sleek rectangular pools perfect for lap swimming to organic freeform creations that blend seamlessly with natural landscaping. Our designs feature integrated elements like deep-end swim-outs, generous entry steps and expansive tanning ledges that double as safe play areas for children. Each model comes with optional enhancements such as attached spas, cascading water features, advanced automation systems, and multi-zone LED lighting packages.

From compact plunge pools ideal for urban spaces to expansive resort-style designs for grand estates, our collection offers sizes to suit any property. Further, our exclusive color palette ensures perfect harmony with your outdoor living space, featuring options from classic Sapphire Blue to sophisticated Graphite Grey that complement any architectural style.

Environmental consciousness drives modern home improvement decisions. As such, fiberglass pools lead the way in sustainability. Their exceptional durability minimizes material replacement, while superior energy efficiency reduces your carbon footprint. The non-porous surface demands fewer chemicals, creating a healthier environment for both your family and the planet.

Interested in the benefits of saltwater chlorination? Our fiberglass pools excel in saltwater environments, offering superior performance and longevity. Unlike concrete pools that can deteriorate under salt exposure or vinyl pools that can wrinkle and age prematurely, Leisure Pools’ fiberglass maintains its integrity and beauty in saltwater conditions. Our AQUAGUARD®X gelcoat creates an impermeable barrier that resists salt penetration, preventing the internal degradation common in other pool materials.

The smooth, non-porous surface of our pools works in perfect harmony with saltwater chlorinators, significantly reducing chlorine production needs compared to concrete pools. This translates to reduced operating costs and a gentler swimming experience.

The combination of saltwater sanitation and our proprietary fiberglass technology offers multiple advantages:

• Naturally resistant to salt corrosion without requiring additional protective treatments
• Minimal risk of salt seepage into the pool shell, which can cause delamination in other materials
• Lower electricity consumption as salt cells operate more efficiently with our smooth surface
• Enhanced swimmer comfort with fewer harsh chemicals and naturally softer water
