Pools
Thursday Pools crafts its fiberglass pools using a multi-layered construction method designed for long-lasting quality, including:
- Gelcoat Surface: The pool’s top layer is a smooth, non-porous gelcoat that resists algae growth, scratches, and fading while providing a luxurious finish. It’s tough enough to withstand a dog’s claws yet comfortable for swimmers.
- Vinyl Ester Resin Barrier Coat: Beneath the gelcoat, this layer enhances the pool’s longevity by protecting against moisture and chemical degradation. It also prevents potential blistering for a flawless finish.
- Chopped and Hand-Laid Fiberglass: Layers of fiberglass, combined with isophthalic polyester resin, are applied using both automated equipment and hand-laying techniques. This process ensures maximum strength and durability in high-stress areas.
- Custom Stitch Mats: Hand-laid stitch mats add structural integrity, helping to reinforce the pool shell and resist impact. These mats hold the fibers in place, ensuring long-term stability.
- Honeycomb Core Reinforcement: For added support, horizontal surfaces like steps, benches, and tanning ledges feature a honeycomb core structure. Vertical strips along the pool walls provide further reinforcement, maintaining the pool’s shape and strength over time.
Fiberglass pools are valued for their speed of installation and ease of maintenance. Delivered as a pre-fabricated shell, they are installed quickly with minimal construction delays. The smooth, non-porous gelcoat surface prevents algae buildup and reduces chemical needs, making fiberglass pools a practical and stylish choice for homeowners seeking low-maintenance solutions.
- Installation Time: 2–4 weeks.
- Customization: Limited to pre-designed shapes and sizes.
- Maintenance: Widely accepted as lower maintenance than other pool types.
- Longevity: Can last 50+ years with proper care.
- Unique Features: Built-in tanning ledges, seating, and beach entries.
Fiberglass pools are perfect for homeowners looking for a modern, durable, lower-maintenance pool option.
Fiberglass pools perform exceptionally well in extreme climates, whether it’s the intense summer heat or the freezing temperatures of winter. The material does not warp, expand, or contract significantly with temperature changes, so homeowners don’t need to worry about seasonal damage. Proper winterization further enhances the pool’s longevity, ensuring it remains in excellent condition year after year.
