Gone are the days when a fibreglass pool meant a bright blue UFO in the backyard. Modern fibreglass pools are available in a vast range of sizes, shapes, textures and colours – and their popularity is on the rise.
This rise in popularity has largely been fuelled by significant technological improvements in the manufacturing process that has enabled fibreglass pools to shed their old reputation and build a strong new one based on their looks, style, performance and longevity.
The leading makers of fibreglass pools use cutting-edge cnc machines with computer aided robotics in order to build the moulds for the pools with pin-point accuracy. An example of this is a manufacturer using a large capacity 5-axis CNC router with the latest in CAD/CAM technology which offers high-speed machining of moulds, patterns etc, thereby allowing fibreglass pools to be constructed with loads of detail and added features.
Modern features such as swimouts, safety ledges, different configurations of entry steps and corner features, adjoining spas etc are all possible these days. And they’re all possible due to the improved technologies in the building of the moulds.
Improved cnc machining technology has also resulted in much sharper angles which gives fibreglass pools an instant style update, and brings them closer in line with the shapes and profiles of concrete pools.
A stalling point for fibreglass pools has historically been their lack of flexibility and limited options. Many people were turned off because there were so few shapes and sizes available Today, CNC router equipment (such as machines from Perth suppliers, Procam) allows a quick turnaround from concept to finished mould and has meant a wide variety of options getting to market. From geometric shapes, slimline and roman pools, lap pools, rectangular ones with cutout steps and kiddies pools to the traditional kidney shaped swimming pool, fashionable fibreglass is firmly in the swim!.
