Fiberglass swimming pools are one of the most rewarding and customizable ways to transform your backyard into the ultimate outdoor sanctuary. Compared to concrete pools, fiberglass pools are the easiest to maintain and have the strongest and most durable material. When you invest in a fiberglass pool, you’re building a pool that will last a lifetime and remain a constant source of relaxation, fun, beauty, and delight year after year.
What is a Fiberglass Pool?
Fiberglass pools are in-mold, handcrafted pools that arrive at your home ready to be installed in your yard. The fiberglass is created from millions of interwoven glass threads covered with a polyester resin. It’s an incredibly sturdy material that’s ideal for an in-ground pool. In comparison, a concrete pool requires a steel or wooden framework that needs to be covered by a mixture of cement, sand, and water. Fiberglass is the material of choice for bathtubs, sinks, hot tubs, and multi-million dollar yachts, not to mention, airplanes, helicopters, exotic automobiles and many other high-performance products. As such, fiberglass is the best choice for the material for your inground swimming pool.

Why Choose Fiberglass?
Fiberglass pools are easier and less costly to repair
Fiberglass pools have the lowest long-term maintenance costs and come with a limited lifetime warranty.
Fiberglass pools have non-abrasive surfaces
The gel coat of a fiberglass pool does more than resist algae growth—it makes it very smooth to the touch. You won’t get scratches on your extremities as you would in a concrete pool.
Fiberglass pools are better for saltwater systems
Saltwater pools are a growing trend that is great for customers and the environment. But, while all saltwater pools must maintain proper water chemistry for effective sanitation and bather comfort, the systems are very hard on concrete surfaces and many concrete pool builders prohibit them. Fiberglass is the material many sea-going boats and yachts are made with and fiberglass pools are completely saltwater friendly.
Building permits are easier with ICC certification
An International Code Council Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) Certification brings you one step closer to obtaining building permits for your pool. Only the highest quality products receive the ICC-ES stamp of approval. Latham pools are among them.
