Leisure Fiberglass Pools
The Superior Pool

 

Leisure in-ground fiberglass pools offer a durable, low-maintenance alternative to concrete pools.  

Fiberglass designs tend to cost 10 to 12 percent more than those constructed from concrete or other materials, but they can actually save people money in the long run because far less will be spent on repairs and upkeep. In fact, at Expert Pools we offer lifetime warranties for the structure of our Expert line, and twenty-year conditional warranties on any cosmetic finishes. We also have several different financing options that make it easier for a person to handle the cost of a pool.

There are several fiberglass pool installers that serve customers in Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin but we feel our products are superior to those offered by other distributors. Expert Fiberglass Pools designs have 78 percent more flexural strength and 17 percent more tensile strength, and they are 33 percent thicker than the average fiberglass model. Our pools and spas are also on the cutting edge of technology, utilizing a unique closed beam coping that allows them to withstand the harsh weather across the country.

In-ground Fiberglass Pools

Rectangle, kidney, lap, and freeform are just a few of the shapes of in-ground fiberglass pools. There are also splash pools, pools with waterfalls, lap pools, and game pools. In short, there are as many options when it comes to fiberglass pools as there are with concrete pools.  

There are just as many accessories for fiberglass designs, as well. Pools can be heated, enclosed, lit, or can even have pathways leading across them.

At Expert Pools, we are continually making improvements on the standard fiberglass pool. We offer more styles and sizes than have ever been available in the past. We have also strengthened our pools, made them climate resistant, created accessories that make maintenance minimal, and designed cosmetic features that beautify pools and can increase property values.

Financing In-ground Fiberglass Pools   

Fiberglass pools are often more expensive than concrete pools, but the cost difference is made up for in durability. In an attempt to make the purchase of a pool easier for our customers, we offer several different financing options. All of these choices can be discussed in detail when you request a quote.

Most people think the best way to finance a swimming pool is through home equity. However, there are plans that will work for people who are not in a position to borrow against their homes. Some financing plans will require payments of $1,000 per month, while others will only call for monthly payments of $500. A small down payment will be required, as well. Give us a call to talk about the financing option that's right for you.

Pool Covers
A useful tool for your arsenal!

 

There is nothing worse than putting on the old swimsuit and heading out to the pool, only to find that it is covered with a surface layer of algae, leaves, sticks, and other green things that do not belong there. Oftentimes, taking care of this problem will require far more than a simple cleaning. Chlorine levels might have to be adjusted, and in some cases, portions of the pool might have even been compromised.

A lot of these problems can be avoided by the use of a simple pool cover. A cover will not keep everything out of the water, but it will prevent massive buildups. It will also make the regular cleaning of the pool's surface much easier and safer.

Solar Pool Covers   

There are several specialty pool covers on the market. Some are designed to be aesthetically pleasing, while others serve a more practical purpose. Solar pool covers can be used to speed up the heating process of the pool. Even on warm days, it often takes several hours for a pool to reach a comfortable temperature. A solar cover will use the sun's rays to their fullest and make things much nicer for a morning dip.

At Expert Pools, we carry a variety of accessories including an array of covers that can be used for small or large pool designs. We have covers that can be used at night, and others that can help protect the pool during the winter months. We also carry solar blankets and other covers that can affect a pool's temperature.

Installing Pavers Around a Pool 

The Benefits of Using Pavers- if they are chosen and installed correctly.

 

Looking for a deck option that can ride out ground movement while offering stylistic flair?

Pavers may be just the answer. They come in all variations - from the basic model you might find at Home Depot to more deluxe versions that include weathered-looking tumbled pavers, concrete varieties with pebble and sea shells mixed in, or those cut from stone.

These pieces fit together into puzzles that vary in complexity from a grid pattern to intricate mosaics established by the designer. In between lay interlocking pavers, with a built-in decorative line.

Practically speaking, this material offers several benefits. Paver decks are less subject to cracking than monolithic slabs, says Irv Chazen, president of Miami-based Custom Pools. He uses them on about 75 percent of his projects. "Problems seem to have diminished when the pavers were used in place of concrete," he says.

A paver deck has built-in joints throughout, so installers don't have to try to predict where cracking will occur, says Dan Essig, president of Artistic Paver Manufacturing Inc., in North Miami, Fla. Essig, who also builds pools, adds that a heavy rain or ground movement can cause a piece or two to pop out, though they're easily replaced. They also make for speedier installation, because the decks can be placed piecemeal. So you can interrupt the job during rain.

But like any product, pavers have their drawbacks. Some are very porous, making them rough on the skin and prone to staining, mildew, algae and even freeze/thaw problems when water gets trapped in the nooks and crannies. Pavers also may experience color variations from batch to batch.
