Pool Materials

The first step in designing your new pool

Picking the material of your new pool is one of the first decisions you will make. Concrete is most popular, for its longevity and the ability to customize the shape, style and features. Fiberglass is also available in select markets.

Your Anthony & Sylvan design consultant will help you make an informed decision about the material of your new pool.

Concrete Pools

A concrete, or gunite, pool is made from a mixture of sand, cement and water that becomes the foundation of the pool once dry. Concrete pools are popular for their durability and longevity. This is why we offer a lifetime structural warranty on all of our concrete pools. Concrete pools can be made into any shape and style with an endless array of custom features to choose from.

At Anthony & Sylvan, we have 75+ years of experience building custom concrete pools across the US in a variety of climates and landscapes.

Fiberglass Pools

A fiberglass pool is a prefabricated swimming pool that is manufactured in a facility, then delivered and installed in one piece. Anthony & Sylvan offers a number of fiberglass pool shapes and styles to pick from in the markets where fiberglass is available. Benefits of a fiberglass pool include fast installation time, sometimes in just a few weeks. Fiberglass pools also tend to be more economical than concrete pools.
