1. Low-Maintenance Surface (Fibreglass Finish)

Fibreglass pools are known for being significantly easier to maintain than traditional plaster or marble finishes.

• The fibreglass gelcoat/poolcoat is smooth and non-porous, reducing dirt and algae adhesion.
• Lower algae growth compared to plastered surfaces.
• Reduced chemical usage and easier brushing/cleaning.

Key Advantages: Lower chemical costs, fewer maintenance hours, and a cleaner surface year-round.

2. Structural Strength + Flexibility

A fibreglass-lined pool combines the strength of a concrete shell with the flexibility of fibreglass, giving you the best of both worlds.

• Concrete base = long-term structural stability.
• Fibreglass lining = crack-bridging capability and flexibility.
• Performs well with minor ground movement.

Why this matters in South Africa: Many areas have expansive clay soils and seasonal ground movement — fibreglass-lined systems cope better and reduce long-term repairs.

3. Comfortable & Swimmer-Friendly Finish

Fibreglass offers a silky-smooth finish that is noticeably more comfortable for swimmers than rough plaster.

• No rough plaster — gentle on feet and swimsuits.
• Safer for children and pets.
• Excellent for steps, seating and ledges.

4. Lower Long-Term Maintenance Costs

Compared to concrete/plaster pools, fibreglass-lined pools require far less long-term maintenance.

• No frequent re-plastering.
• Fibreglass lining lifespan typically 15–25+ years.
• Repairs are easier and more localised.

5. Excellent Performance in the South African Climate

Fibreglass surfaces are UV-resistant, saltwater friendly, and resist chemical attack — ideal for both coastal and inland climates.
