Fiberglass vs. Gunite:
Important Decisions Regarding Purchasing Your New Swimming Pool

I am always asked, “why fiberglass?” So I searched the internet for “fiberglass vs. gunite” and found out so many advantages to fiberglass swimming pools. That is what I find to be so great in selling today, you do not have to take the salesman’s word for it — you can go online and find out for yourself!

Latham Pool Installation:
Concrete pools can take months to finish, while Latham fiberglass pools are made at the manufacturer and arrive at your home, ready for installation. Don’t let your backyard become a construction zone for months on end!

Finish:
Latham fiberglass swimming pools have either a smooth gel coat finish, or our exclusive Crystite finish — Latham pools are non-abrasive for your skin, and there are no sharp edges. Some concrete pools are so rough and abrasive they can harm your skin! Latham pool finishes also have an incredible 7-yr warranty.

Four-Layer Construction and Ceramic Core Mean Superior Strength:
Fiberglass swimming pools have a high tensile strength of fiberglass and ceramic — this will let the pool to flex without cracking or splitting. Latham pools have a ceramic core, sandwiched between two layers of fiberglass and resin, so while they are flexible, they are also quite strong!

Maintenance Free:
The gel coat or Crystite finish on a Latham pool are low-maintenance, easy to clean, and never need resurfacing. And you don’t have to drain the pool to keep it clean like a concrete pool!

Color Range:
The color of the water in your pool will have an impact on the pool’s overall appearance and ambiance. A wide variety of colors are available to you through Latham Pools. Choose from our standard colors or our exclusive Crystite finish.

Latham Pool lifetime fiberglass inground pool warranty:
If you are getting other quotes, ask if a lifetime warranty is being provided on the structure of the swimming pool. Concrete swimming pool have short warranties, or none at all! Isn’t a lifetime warranty important for your peace of mind?

But don’t take my word for it — do some more research about your new swimming pool! For more information, see this article. There’s a handy chart listing the benefits of fiberglass swimming pools.
