What is the difference between concrete and fibreglass pools

Fibreglass pool advantages over concrete pool

Hey guys. Difference between a concrete pool and a fibreglass pool and this is a great question. So when we look at concrete pools, concrete pools have one really good advantage over fibreglass pools and that is that you can shape them any way you want to shape them. So if the exact shape of your pool is a really important consideration, might be that you need to wrap it around an Alfresco area or you want a set of steps in that particular corner. Then concrete is a great way to go, but on the flip side, a fibreglass pool has some tremendous advantages over concrete.

Fibreglass pool lifetime warranty

The first could probably be described as a warranty. The warranty on a concrete pole is a six-year building work warranty with a warranty on a fibreglass pool, particularly a Compass by limits ceramic fibreglass pool is a lifetime warranty that’s transferable. Surface finish is often a place or a point of disappointment for many concrete pool owners. The reason that is is that because that finish is usually rough and abrasive and it can scratch soft skin after you’ve been swimming for a while. When you’ve got a fibreglass pool, we’ve got a beautiful smooth inner finish, which is nice to the touch.

Other benefits

Pool temperature and heating. A concrete pole is often described as being quite cold to swim in, where a fibreglass pool and particularly a Compass pool with a ceramic core, is going to give you a beautiful swimming temperature year-round. Build time is often an important factor. Concrete pools take a lot longer to build versus fibreglass pools and they’re often projects that go on for a serious amount of time and in that respect, concrete pools …

Pool cost

For anyone looking to purchase one, you need to be a little bit more flexible in understanding that the costs associated with that pool can change over time. Just being a little bit more lenient with the provisional costs of a concrete pool because it’s ongoing building work on your site. Whereas, most of the time when we turn up to install a Compass pool, we’re usually a couple of days involved in the installation of that pool.  Therefore, it’s not susceptible to the same types of exposure and situations that you can have over a long build time.

Fibreglass pools surface is easy to take care of

Looking after the pool is a really important thing too. Looking after a fibreglass pool is much easier than looking after a concrete pool. That again comes down to generally the surface finish with all the little grooves and so forth that happen to be in between pebbles or even the grooves between tiles.

I hope that gives you a little bit more info between the differences of a concrete pool and a fibreglass pool and I’m sure when you take all of this into consideration, with everything else you have to, you’ll make the right decision for you.

OUR ADVICE

  • Where should I put my pool

    When thinking about installing your pool, thinking about where it goes may come naturally. This might be, “Oh, okay, that’s the spot I’m definitely going to have my pool installed.” Other properties might have tremendous flexibility, and there can be a little bit of consternation over exactly where that pool is going to go. Pool…

  • What typically happens on a site visit?

    Once we’ve made an appointment with you, we’re going to come out and we’re going to ask you a whole bunch of questions. All that in relation to what you think is really important to your life in owning a pool. This might be your first time, it might be your fourth pool. But what we want to do? We want to get a good understanding of what’s important to you.

  • What options are there for sloping or difficult sites

    One really exciting feature about a Compass Pool is that literally we can build them in all types of sites and what I mean by that, we can build a Compass Pool right out of the ground if we need to. In fact, we can even go, and we have, installed them on the rooftop of tops of apartment complexes.
    Now that all comes about because Compass builds a pool shell that is totally unique.
