The Benefits of Fiberglass Pools in Barrington

Are you dreaming of having an inground swimming pool? If so, you’ve likely spent years planning and saving to make this dream a reality. However, with so many inground pool options available, making the right choice can be challenging. Which pool type is best for you, and which one will meet all of your family’s needs?

While concrete and vinyl liner pools are well-known, fiberglass pools are quickly gaining popularity due to their numerous advantages. Let’s explore these benefits in detail.

The Benefits of Fiberglass Pools

No swimming pool is perfect for everyone, but fiberglass pools are known for offering more pros than cons. A high-quality fiberglass pool can enhance your overall experience as a pool owner and save you thousands of dollars in maintenance costs.

To help you decide if a fiberglass swimming pool is the right choice for your Barrington home, here’s what you need to know.

Fiberglass Pools

Fiberglass Pools Have Smooth Surfaces

The gelcoat surface of a fiberglass pool is smooth to the touch and comfortable to walk on, meaning no more scraped knees and toes! This smooth surface also resists algae, making it much easier and less labor-intensive to maintain compared to other inground pool surfaces.

As a bonus, you’ll save money on chemicals and energy over time.

The Installation Is Quick

Fiberglass pools are known for their fast installation process. By the second day of installation, your fiberglass pool will likely be in the ground and filled with water. A complete installation, including patio work, typically takes between 2 and 4 weeks.

In contrast, vinyl inground pools take 6 to 8 weeks to install, while concrete pools can take 3 to 6 months to complete.

Fiberglass Pools Are Durable

Both the shell and the gelcoat surface of a well-made fiberglass pool can last for many decades. Unlike gunite and liner pools, fiberglass pools require less upkeep and expense, which can lead to significant savings over the pool’s lifetime.

Fiberglass swimming pools are also compatible with various sanitation systems, including salt systems. While gunite and vinyl liner pools can also use saltwater systems, the salt can be harsh on vinyl liner walls and plaster surfaces. The gelcoat on a fiberglass pool, however, is ideally suited for a salt-chlorine generator.

Fiberglass Pools Come with Built-In Features

Do you love features like tanning ledges, benches, and spas? With most inground pools, these features come with extra costs and time. However, with a fiberglass pool, many of these features are already built-in at no additional cost.

Most fiberglass pool designs include shallow or deep-end bench seating, and many offer spacious tanning ledges. Some models even come with a built-in spa. A few models include a tanning ledge, spa, and bench seating all in one.

Fiberglass Pools Can Increase the Resale Value of Your Barrington Home

Not all swimming pools will enhance the value of your home, but a fiberglass pool can. In fact, a fiberglass pool can increase your home’s value by around 5%, making it a worthwhile investment even if you don’t plan to stay in your home forever.

How Much Do Fiberglass Pools Cost in Barrington?

The cost of a fiberglass pool can vary based on the pool’s size and the materials you choose for finishing your patio and fencing.
