Fibreglass Swimming Pools
Fibreglass Pools – Endless Possibilities
In 1999 Trilogy challenged the status quo asking, “Why wouldn’t you be able to have a customized fiberglass pool?” Which led to further questions and the result being:
- made to order fibreglass pools
- large variety of shapes and sizes
- wide selection of colours
- many options to choose from
- accessories to meet your needs
Every Trilogy fibreglass pool is made to order, this means that your pool will not be sitting outside, exposed to the elements and birds, before you purchase it. Your pool will be engineered and built by Trilogy craftsmen to your order specifications. With a Trilogy pool you get perfect combination of swimming pool, surface color, deck, tile, water feature, and water colour.
Advantages of Fibreglass Pools
Fibreglass Pools are Easier to Maintain
Fibreglass pools require less attention. The fibreglass surface is non-porous and inert and thus requires less chemicals to maintain pH and inhibit algae growth. The average fibreglass pool owner only spends about 45 minutes per week maintaining their pool
No Liner Replacement or Acid Washing
Vinyl liners need to be replaced about once every decade, sometimes sooner. Fibreglass is also much stronger and resist tearing from dog claws and long toenails.
Concrete pools need to be acid washed every few years to clean them up and resurfacing approximately every 15 years. This is not necessary with fibreglass pools.
Stands Up To Saltwater
Fibreglass pools have no issues with salt-based chlorine generators that can harm the finishes on concrete pools and, when not properly maintained, cause many components in a vinyl liner pool to prematurely age.
Easy to Install
One great thing about fibreglass pools is that most of the work is done in the factory before your pool arrives on site. A standard installation can typically be completed in a week..
Trilogy Pool Manufacturing
Trilogy uses the highest quality composite resins and gel coats in the industry. Other aspects of Trilogy Pools are:
- Coping Options: Brick, Concrete, or Stone Coping provides an elegant and durable finished edge around your pool.
- Interlocking Bond Beam: The Bond Beam is formed when the concrete deck is poured around and up next to the flange of the pool. This step structurally ties your deck to the outside of the fiberglass pool shell.
- Finishes: HydroStone or Gelcoat, whether you choose one of Trilogy’s 6 beautiful HydroStone finishes or white gelcoat, you are assured of maintenance-free durability for years to come.
- Vinyl Ester Barrier Coat: This layer gives your pool extreme resistance to even the most corrosive chemicals.
- General Purpose Resin: This structural layer of general purpose resin and fiberglass provides the rigidity needed for transportation and installation of your swimming pool.
- Woven Roving + GP Resin: This 24 oz. woven glass cloth is the final laminate for your Trilogy Pool. The glass cloth encases the entire pool in a network of fiberglass. The end result is a swimming pool with outstanding structural integrity.
