What is a shell pool?

Local polyester shell pool is a one-piece prefabricated tank manufactured in a factory, then delivered directly to the site for a quick installation. Unlike a concrete pool, which is built on-site in several stages, the shell pools is molded in one piece. It is composed of several layers of composite materials, including the fiberglass and the resin, ensuring perfect waterproofing and high resistance to external aggressions.

The exterior finish is provided by agel coat, a protective coating that ensures not only the aesthetic appeal of the pool but also its longevity by protecting it from UV rays, chemicals, and temperature variations.

Quick installation, no unpleasant surprises

Thefiberglass shell poolis distinguished by its simplicity and speed of installation. On average, a complete installation (excluding ancillary work such as decking) can be carried out in5 to 7 days, compared to 2 to 3 months for a concrete pool. This speed is explained by the one-piece nature of the shell, prefabricated in the factory, which arrives ready to be installed.

Once the earthworks have been completed and the bottom stabilized, the hull is placed by crane and then connected to the filtration system.

This method allows for fewer unforeseen events on site, better control of deadlines, and enjoying your swim much faster. For spring projects, it's a real asset:your pool watercan be ready before summer!

On a technical level, the materials used — resin, fiberglass,gel coat— are designed to withstand chemical and climatic aggressions for15 to 20 years,or even longer with goodpool maintenance. This gives you a reliable, durable, and accessible solution, with a total cost (supply + installation + maintenance) much lower than that of a concrete pool.

Another economic advantage:water treatmentis simpler, which reduces theuse of chemicals, water consumption, and operating costs.

Easy daily maintenance

Pool maintenance is a key criterion when choosing a pool. Here again, thefiberglass poolscores points. Thanks to itspool floorsmooth and non-porous surface, impurities and micro-algae have little to cling to. Unlike the tiles or plaster of concrete pools, which can become breeding grounds for bacteria, the gel coat significantly limits the appearance of deposits.
