You’re in Darwin, the sun’s high in the sky and you’re imagining the pure bliss of diving into a refreshing pool right in your backyard. Perhaps you’re in the exciting process of building a new home, or maybe you’re looking to add a luxury touch to your existing property. Either way, the choice between fibreglass and concrete for your dream pool is significant. Read on to learn more.
Fibreglass Pools: Efficiency, Comfort, Affordability and Quality
Fibreglass pools are factory-moulded and arrive at your property ready for installation. Choosing a fibreglass pool unlocks a host of benefits including fast installation, minimal maintenance, cost-effectiveness, enhanced warranty, and a comfortable design.
Fast Installation: One major advantage of fibreglass pools is their rapid and simple installation. After initial excavation, the pre-moulded shell can be set, filled, and you can dive in within a week. You could be swimming in your own backyard paradise while others are still watching their concrete dry.
Low Maintenance: Fibreglass pools require significantly less maintenance compared to concrete pools. The non-porous surface means fewer chemicals, less scrubbing to prevent algae growth, and more time to simply enjoy your pool.
Cost-Effective: In general, fibreglass pools tend to be more affordable than their concrete counterparts. With lower initial costs and reduced maintenance expenses, fibreglass pools are a financially savvy choice for the long-term.
Extended Warranty: Most fibreglass pools come with a more extended warranty period compared to concrete pools. You could have two or even three times the assurance that your investment is protected.
Concrete Pools: More Hassle Than It’s Worth?
While concrete pools offer customisation potential and perceived durability, they bring along a host of hidden complications.
Delayed Gratification: Installation of a concrete pool can take several months. After filling, the pool needs to cure, be plastered and finished – a stark contrast to fibreglass pools’ swift installation.
High Maintenance: Concrete, being porous, invites algae growth, demanding more scrubbing, increased chemical usage and more time taken away from enjoying your pool.
Costly Over Time: Despite the initial allure, concrete pools can become a financial burden over time due to higher maintenance costs and typically shorter warranties.
Less Comfortable: The rough texture of concrete can be harsh on your feet and cause wear and tear on swimsuits over time. Why compromise on comfort when a smooth, gentle fibreglass option is available?
