Modulo

VS

Fiberglass

Not all prefab pools are built the same.
While fiberglass pools have limitations in structure, installation, and customization, Modulo was engineered to remove those limits entirely.

From a stronger frame to a thicker, more durable membrane, from fully flexible installation options to customizable siding finishes, Modulo gives you more possibilities—and far fewer compromises.

Here’s how Modulo compares to traditional fiberglass pools.
