Fiberglass vs Vinyl vs ICF
Fiberglass
Fiberglass pools are durable and low maintenance, with a lifespan of up to 30 years. Fiberglass pools also offer a faster installation time compared to vinyl or concrete pools. Fiberglass pool shells come prefabricated, and although there are many options to choose from, they have fewer customization options. If you prefer a low-maintenance pool with faster installation and are okay with fewer design options, then a fiberglass pool is a fantastic choice!
Vinyl
Vinyl pools are cheaper initially compared to fiberglass pools; however, they require more maintenance, with liners needing to be replaced every 5-8 years. Vinyl pools offer greater customization with limitless design possibilities! If you are on a budget or desire more customization and are okay with a little more maintenance, then vinyl pools are a great choice!
ICF
Insulated concrete formed pools (also known as ICF) offer a more modern approach to swimming pool construction. ICF pools are a durable and energy-efficient alternative to vinyl or fiberglass pools. ICF pools offer greater flexibility for customization.
