Frequently Asked Questions

The two most popular types of in-ground pools are concrete and fibreglass pools. Each type has advantages and disadvantages, which can influence your decision based on multiple factors, including cost, maintenance, and customisation options.

Fibreglass pools can be installed faster than concrete pools; plus, they require less maintenance due to their non-porous surface. When it comes to customisation, concrete pools offer more design flexibility, while fibreglass pools may be limited to pre-made shapes. But, at Platinum Pools NSW, you can pick from a huge range of modern colours and add an infinity edge or other custom pool features.

Both pool types are durable, but concrete pools may need resurfacing every 10 to 15 years, while fibreglass pools can last several years without major renovations.

With a high tensile strength, fibreglass is usually stronger and more flexible than concrete. Also, fibreglass pool owners can enjoy lower electricity bills and maintenance expenses, warmer water, and less wear and tear for their swimsuits.

Yes! Fibreglass swimming pools are known for their low maintenance requirements. Their smooth, non-porous surface capably resists algae growth. There will be no need for frequent scrubbing and use of multiple chemical treatments. Also, they do not require acid washing or resurfacing like concrete pools.

You can enhance your fibreglass pool with various features such as waterfalls and fountains, LED lighting, spa jets and automatic pool covers.

Yes. Fibreglass pools are compatible with saltwater systems. Thanks to their smooth, non-porous surface, they can be resistant to the corrosive effects of salt.

Fibreglass pools offer several environmental benefits. They require fewer chemicals to maintain water quality. The manufacturing process also consumes fewer resources and produces less waste than other types of swimming pools.
