Fibreglass Swimming Pools
Horizon Pools manufactures TOP QUALITY fibreglass pool shells. There is that word QUALITY again that is so over used by all and sundry. We at Horizon Pools are proud to say that the product we manufacture is of the highest class in a fibreglass swimming pool that the South African market has to offer.
We realised that every fibreglass swimming pool company says the exact same thing at the point of sale and on their websites, therefore it is difficult for the pool buyer to know the difference between all these “quality” pool products on offer that vary so much in price.
At the end of the day the fibreglass shell is the most important part of the purchase. Yes, they all look the same in the photographs, but do they all do the same job of holding about 10-60 tons of water in the ground for an extended period of time, that’s the question.
Horizon Pools are manufacturers and installers of the largest and best quality range of fibreglass swimming pools Cape Town has to offer. We are well known in the industry for this fact.
Our pool shapes and sizes are designed to cover the entire spectrum of needs; such as styles and new shapes, which are introduced as demands change, keeping our range modern and exciting. Our fibreglass swimming pools are manufactured in a large, modern, well equipped factory and we work hand in hand with the major resin and fibreglass suppliers to produce a durable product that will last well over twenty years.
Since 2000 we have manufactured and installed thousands of fibreglass pools in Cape Town, getting the job done in an efficient and friendly manner. The excitement and change in people’s lifestyles and properties that we see every day gives us great pleasure.
Horizon Pools also carries out renovations of swimming pools, pool pumps, fibreglass linings and water features of new and existing pools. We are the first choice of many architects and builders, whose support we appreciate.
Horizon Pools also manufacture custom shaped fibreglass swimming pools in Cape Town for those specific needs that our standard range does not cater for such as lap pools or swimming pool designs specially composed for an area.
Horizon pools are members of the National Spa and Pool institute (NSPI) whose members must adhere to manufacturing and installation standards.
Many fibreglass pool installation companies buy their shells from a manufacturer and this often leads to problems down the line with one blaming the other for the problems that arise with the swimming pool shells. Some fibreglass swimming pools in South Africa are literally made in a backyard or double garage.
We recommend that you take the time to visit their factory. You take that time out to buy a lounge suite or a TV so why not a pool that costs so much more?
At Horizon Pools you are more than welcome to visit our large well equipped, modern factory in Strand, Western Cape. We will show you around and we make a great cup of tea or coffee, anytime.
The NSPI ensures standards and ethics of fiberglass swimming pools in South Africa and they are the policemen of the industry. If you have a problem with the product or service you can contact the NSPI for help only if the company you chose is a member.
Horizon Pools are members of the NSPI.
There are two ways of manufacturing a fibreglass swimming pool. One is hand lamination and the other is chopper gun.
At Horizon Pools we hand laminate our pools to ensure consistent thickness of the product and this method allows for a built-in rib-like structure to form in the process where there are double thick overlaps of fibreglass sheets.
There is more fibreglass in the process and that means more strength. Horizon Pools also uses Coremat which is a layer that is sandwiched between the fibreglass layers which makes the pool very rigid which helps during the installation and gives extra structural strength.
We had a great experience with this company and team. The professional repair job was done on my old swimming pool. Thank you for the work done. 🙂
