The beautiful Atlanticview Boutique Hotel set in between the picturesque Table Mountain cable car and spectacular views of the ocean.
The swimming pool is warm and inviting, brimming with cascading fountains, streaming over the rimflow. Glass tiles line the stairs and seats; reflecting glistening specs of water and light dancing across the water.
A pool resurface can also save you thousands on future pool repair & maintenance costs. Reduce your pool size or add features like steps or railings, the choice is yours.
Why is fibreglass pool resurfacing better than gunite, plaster, vinyl pool liners and epoxy pool paint for the resurfacing of your swimming pool?
There are several reasons to consider fibreglass resurfacing as an alternative to gunite, plaster, vinyl pool liners, epoxy pool paint for swimming pools and other products:
Fibreglass is stronger than plaster, gunite and vinyl liners.
Fibreglass has its own structural integrity regardless of what it is applied to.
Common failures with plaster and gunite pools are: cracking, chipping and “pop-offs” because it does not bond well.
Vinyl liner pool owners are disadvantaged because the material of the liner itself is polymer and this will break down over time and the liner will need to be replaced.
Epoxy pool paint has a shorter life span without the structural strength that fibreglass offers
Fibreglass bonds well and is not susceptible to these failures.
Fibreglass withstands earth movement and shifts in a swimming pool, while plaster and gunite will crack and chip almost immediately.
Fibreglass provides superior resistance to stains, algae, and discoloration.
Fibreglass is nonporous; therefore algae, even black algae, will not adhere to it.
The two most common pool stains are copper oxide and calcium which adhere to plaster and gunite’s porous surface and are almost impossible to remove.
Plaster and gunite are known to discolour within a few short months giving an uneven pattern to the look of your pool surface. Cape Fibrelining’s fibreglass topcoat finish gives each pool a uniform colour and remains this way for the life of the surface.
A Fibreglass lining reduces operational costs of the pool.
Plaster, gunite, liners and epoxy paint will not last as long as fibreglass; fibreglass will last longer, resulting in less money spent over the lifetime of your pool.
Since organic material is more easily removed from a fibreglass pool, less chemicals are needed to maintain an acceptable chemical balance.
A pool with a fibreglass finish is easier to clean, brush and vacuum.
Fibreglass pool owners typically spend up to 75% less time and money maintaining their pools.
Approximately 70% of all pools in the Western Cape are fibreglass.
Fibreglass life expectancy is rated the highest out of all resurfacing products available.
Fibreglass is a superior pool resurfacing product.
