Fibreglass Swimming Pools

One Piece Tout de Suite!

It’s a fact that no matter how forward thinking we believe ourselves to be, most of us are actually a little frightened of anything new or different to what we perceive to be the "norm". Pioneers are unique people who are not afraid to break new ground and have a bash at previously untried experiences or doing things totally differently to the masses. One piece pools have been slow to take off in the UK market despite being available for a number of years but have been successfully sold in Australia and South Africa since inception some 30+ years ago. In the early days these pools were not exactly precision manufactured and the UK pool trade quite rightly turned up its collective nose at these rough and ready interlopers and instead stayed with the "safer" options of concrete or block and liner builds. With 28 "single shell" exhibitors at the recent Lyon Pool Show and an increasing number companies supplying one piece pools on our small island these pools are now far from rough and ready and have matured into sophisticated yet straightforward systems for end users and pool builders alike.

Minimum Maintenance

Extensive surveys have proven that fibreglass pools have the lowest maintenance and upkeep of any type of pool, along with reduced operating costs, the maintenance free life-span of fibreglass pools exceeds that of other type.

1. The pool arrives as a one piece seamless moulding, which gives the best assurance against leaks over any other type of pool - as it has no seams or joints to fail.
2. Fibreglass has a luxurious smooth finish and because it is impervious, bacteria and algae have nowhere to gain a foothold.
3. Because there is no reaction between chemicals and fibreglass, less pool maintenance chemicals are required.

Further benefits to consider are no repainting, re-surfacing or re-tiling, ever and no danger of cracking. Hygienic, non-abrasive ultra smooth surface inhibits algae growth, surface staining does not occur. The colour will never wear away. High specification resins and advanced construction techniques are used. Fibreglass is flexible enough to absorb normal ground movement. Even with the British attitude of "we don't like change" there seems very little possibility that the" Great British Public" will not latch on to this concept like the rest of the world have done. This type of pool construction is here to stay."
