Discover the Benefits of an Insulated Pool with High-Performance Polyurethane

Mathieu Robert

 

Fibco’s fiberglass-reinforced resin swimming pool technology, originally developed for aerospace and marine applications, offers unmatched durability and efficiency in insulated pools. Each insulated pool is crafted using advanced materials and processes that ensure high performance, structural integrity, and temperature regulation. These pools are ideal for homeowners seeking an energy-efficient option with minimal maintenance and maximum comfort.

Superior strength and flexibility in insulated pools

Fiberglass offers exceptional structural advantages over traditional pool construction materials. Inch by inch, fiberglass is 17 times stronger than concrete, providing unparalleled strength and flexibility. This robust design in Fibco’s insulated swimming pools resists the pressure and stress often caused by temperature fluctuations, especially during freezing conditions. With its monocoque design, each swimming pool is crafted to be entirely watertight, adding to its longevity and efficiency in energy retention.

Effective pool insulation for thermal efficiency

Fibco’s insulated pools are designed with a specialized polyurethane foam insulation that helps maintain your pool’s water temperature up to 8°F warmer than other pool types. This thermal layer significantly enhances energy efficiency, reducing the need for external heating and making it an excellent choice for an energy-efficient home. The insulating properties not only contribute to a warmer swimming pool experience but also help lower energy costs by keeping water warm for longer periods, even in cooler climates.

Enhanced construction for long-lasting results

Our insulated swimming pools utilize a meticulous layering process that includes several coats of “Gelcoat Iso NPG” to ensure a smooth and durable surface. Two successive layers of fiberglass-reinforced resin enhance the strength and flexibility of your pool, while lateral reinforcement provides added stability to withstand ground pressure. For ultimate durability, Fibco applies additional pool insulation in strategic areas, especially in ground pools where extra thermal resistance is needed to maintain a consistent temperature. This high-performance insulating process supports your pool’s structure while promoting year-round enjoyment.

Hydrostatic control for inground insulated pools

The installation of a dewatering well allows you to control the hydrostatic pressure of a groundwater table. When installing an inground insulated swimming pool, managing groundwater is essential to maintaining structural integrity. A dewatering well system is recommended for hydrostatic pressure control, particularly in areas with a high water table. This system prevents groundwater from impacting the pool’s foundation, ensuring long-term stability and peace of mind.
