August 10, 2007, Newsletter Issue #76: The Future: Fiberglass

Tip of the Week

Fiberglass isn't just about clear backboards and pink corvettes. Today, this tough material can also be found in swimming pools. You can buy fiberglass pools in a variety of shapes and they can also be created in any color.

Another fiberglass advantage deals with the “scrape factor” a fiberglass surface is smooth to the touch (as opposed to concrete which is a bit rough around the edges). Fiberglass is the most expensive of all the pool materials, however, it needs the least maintenance.

*Before buying a fiberglass swimming pool, make sure you check your landscape. Since fiberglass pools shapes are pre-designed you can't change them in mid-installation, like concrete.
