As public swimming pools continue to vanish from small towns like Clinton, Ontario, more Canadians are turning to private backyard pools to reclaim summer. For many families, the question is no longer if they’ll install a new pool, but what pool type will they choose.
In the debate over fiberglass or vinyl liner pools, it’s natural to compare price, maintenance and durability. At Okeanos Pools GTA, we specialize in fiberglass swimming pools that offer lasting luxury with minimal maintenance.
Comparing Vinyl Liner Pools with Fiberglass Pools
While vinyl liner pools may have an initial lower cost, the replacement costs in pool maintenance often turn a summer dream into a nightmare! Most vinyl liner pools require periodic liner replacements due to scratches, punctures, fading, or wrinkles. These replacements can be both costly and time-consuming, not to mention the added hassle of keeping water chemistry in balance with a more delicate surface.
Fiberglass pools generally have a higher initial investment, but this is easily offset with lower maintenance compared to their vinyl counterpart and reduced chemical use. The long term maintenance costs of a fiberglass inground pool is cheaper, meaning you can spend less time on proper maintenance and more time swimming!
Low Maintenance Costs, Fewer Risks
Vinyl pool liners can develop creases and surface wear over time, creating spots where holes can form or algae may take hold and clog your pool pump, needing regular maintenance, and chemical balancing.
Fiberglass pools offer a smooth surface that naturally resists algae growth! This allows homeowners to enjoy their inground swimming pool with fewer chemicals and less maintenance.
Not to mention, the entire installation process is quicker with fiberglass. While vinyl requires careful liner placement and weather-dependent construction, fiberglass pools from Okeanos are delivered pre-molded and professionally installed in a short time, minimizing the construction process.
Built to Last and Covered for Life
When debating between vinyl liner vs fiberglass, you need to keep strength in mind. Vinyl pool liners need to be replaced multiple times within the same span. This is especially true if they are exposed to sharp objects, improper water chemistry, or major temperature variations.
The enhanced interior surface texture and polymer wall panels reinforce the strength of the pool walls, supporting a longer pool’s lifespan with minimal upkeep. Fiberglass pools also excel in energy efficiency, putting some of that initial cost back into your pocket.
