Are concrete pools better than fibreglass?

When deciding between concrete and fibreglass pools, it’s essential to weigh the benefits of each. At Queensland Plunge Pools, we offer pre-made concrete plunge pools in 7 sizes, all fully tiled for durability and luxury. But how do concrete pools compare to fibreglass?

Durability and Longevity

Concrete pools are built to last. Unlike fibreglass, which can fade or warp over time, concrete pools maintain their structure and appearance for decades. They are incredibly durable and can withstand harsh weather and wear and tear, making them a long-term investment.


Fully Tiled Finish

One of the standout features of our concrete pools is that they are fully tiled, adding a luxurious and sleek finish. Not only do tiles enhance the aesthetics of your pool, but they also contribute to better hygiene and easier cleaning. Fibreglass pools, on the other hand, are limited in design and finish options.


Customisation and Flexibility

While our concrete pools come in pre-made moulds, they offer more design flexibility than fibreglass. You can still choose from various sizes and finishes, including custom freeform designs, giving your backyard a truly unique feature.


Pros of Concrete Pools:

  • Durability: Built to last longer than fibreglass.

  • Fully Tiled: Customisable with luxurious finishes.

  • Quick Installation: Our concrete pools can be installed quickly since they arrive pre-made.

  • Design Flexibility: Choose any shape or size, including custom freeform options.

  • Resilience: Stands up to harsh weather and wear.


Cons of Concrete Pools:

  • Higher Initial Cost: Concrete pools can have a higher upfront cost compared to fibreglass, but the long-term durability makes them a worthwhile investment.


Pros of Fibreglass Pools:

  • Quick Installation: Fibreglass pools can be installed quickly since they arrive pre-made.

  • Lower Upfront Cost: Initially more affordable but may require more maintenance over time.


Cons of Fibreglass Pools:

  • Limited Design Options: Available in set moulds with fewer customisation opportunities.

  • Prone to Fading: Over time, fibreglass pools can fade or warp, reducing their visual appeal and longevity.


Is It Worth It?

When considering longevity, design flexibility, and long-term value, concrete pools are often the superior choice. Queensland Plunge Pools offers a range of 7 different fully tiled sizes, starting from $24,000, and can even customise your pool to create a unique, luxury feature in your backyard.
