Fiberglass Pools

On fiberglass

The case for fiberglass.

A single-piece composite shell that holds its finish, holds its shape, and holds up to thirty Wisconsin winters.

The argument

It holds its finish, holds its shape, holds up to our high standards.

Most pool conversations begin with the wrong question — concrete, vinyl, or fiberglass, as though one is the considered choice and the others aren’t. The real question is which method holds its finish, holds its shape, and holds up to thirty Wisconsin winters.

Done right, fiberglass wins all three. A single-piece composite shell means no cracking, no settling, no resurfacing or new liners every decade. With the proper management of chemicals, the factory-applied gelcoat finish doesn’t chalk or fade — what it looks like at install is what it looks like at year twenty.

And it isn’t a downgrade. Automatic covers, integrated spas, color options that don’t fade in six seasons. Most of our clients are swimming the summer they sign.
