Your Guide to Vinyl, Concrete, and Fiberglass Pools
In this video, viewers learn about the pros and cons of different types of pools, specifically vinyl, concrete, and fiberglass pools. Inground swimming pool contractors need to understand the differences. That way, they can make the right recommendations to clients.
Vinyl pools are actually a vinyl liner within a frame made of another material. These are inexpensive to build, and the vinyl can be cut to any shape required. However, vinyl is weak and prone to wear and tear, especially compared to the alternatives like concrete and fiberglass. Vinyl also has poor heat retention, so a splash in a warm pool could quickly become chilly. There's also a higher risk of slipping on vinyl.
Concrete is also versatile in terms of size and shape. However, concrete is much more expensive than vinyl. Concrete pools will also inevitably develop cracks and can become corroded due to chemicals or even salt in the water.
Fiberglass pools don't come with the same flexibility in terms of shape or size, but they do have a lot more benefits. Fiberglass insulates and holds heat well, so it saves households and businesses on energy costs. Fiberglass pools are also a lot more durable, and won't crack as easily as concrete.
Inground swimming pool contractors can install a fiberglass pool up to three times quicker than alternatives. So, there's less disruption for homemakers. Hopefully, this helps your search!
