The Honest Comparison: Fiberglass, Gunite, and Desjoyaux
Most homeowners enter the pool research process with two options in mind: fiberglass or gunite (concrete). Each has real advantages — and each has real limitations. Understanding both is essential before making a decision.
Fiberglass pools are fast to install and have smooth, algae-resistant surfaces — but they're limited in shape, size, and customization. If you want a specific design, fiberglass often can't deliver it.
Gunite (concrete) pools allow full customization — but come with underground plumbing complexity, higher maintenance requirements, and periodic resurfacing needs. The Desjoyaux system takes the best of concrete — structural quality and design flexibility — and eliminates the worst of it: underground pipes and maintenance burden.
- Desjoyaux: concrete quality without underground plumbing complexity
- Full design customization — not limited like fiberglass
- Faster installation than comparable gunite builds
- Lower long-term maintenance than conventional gunite
- No shell cracking risk — no fiberglass vulnerability in Texas heat
- Proven across 500,000+ installations in 70+ countries
