Fibreglass pool installation
Why should you install a fibreglass pool? Let us give you some useful information on fibreglass swimming pools.
FIRSTLY, there is the cost factor. Fibreglass swimming pools are generally less costly than concrete pools. Costing of a fibreglass swimming pool is based on the wall thickness and materials used in the manufacture and installation. Obviously, a fibreglass pool with thinner walls and cheaper materials costs less. It all depends on your budget.
SECONDLY it is extremely easy to maintain a fibreglass swimming pool. With the various kinds of products available these days, cleaning of your pool is reduced to say twice a month depending, of course, on leaves etc around the pool.
THIRDLY it is not expensive to run a fibreglass swimming pool. Your automatic vacuuming equipment will last longer because of the smooth surface of a fibreglass pool and there would be the usual wear and tear cost on the pump or filter. It is suggested that you switch the pump off in winter when you put the pool cover on thus saving electricity.
How is a fibreglass pool made?
The mould is made to the shape of the pool you require. When building a mould and a pool, there are several processes to go through to reach the end result. It can take about 1 or 2 months once the pattern is complete just to build the mould. It is interesting to note that wax separates the pool from the mould and prevents them sticking together. The mosaic pattern is the first thing applied to the mould and then the pool colour is painted over the entire mould including over the mosaics. There are, of course, several colours of paint to choose from.
