Why Fiberglass Pool Technology?

Here are nine reasons why fiberglass is the best choice for pool resurfacing:

• Fiberglass is the material that has modernized swimming pool renovation. It is the idea way to contain water. This material is well known for its durability and unlimited application possibilities. It can be used virtually anywhere that water containment is required.
• Fiberglass is inert, waterproof and corrosion resistant. Years of field experience demonstrate that the fiberglass can dramatically reduce construction or renovation cost, limit maintenance and extend the life of a swimming pool or aquatic facility.
• Fiberglass acts as a pool shell that seals, protects and waterproofs.
• Fiberglass is a common resistant, highly durable material that results in considerably lower maintenance costs, as well as significant overall reduction in pool care.
• Fiberglass provides superior strength, far beyond that of conventional plaster, coatings and vinyl liners… fiberglass outlasts them all. This surface is relatively immune to the damaging effects of pool water. Furthermore, the non-porous surface inhibits algae penetration and minimizes staining.
• Fiberglass resurfacing greatly reduces the time and effort of maintaining any pool or aquatic facility.
• Fiberglass is not a new material. Glass Reinforced Polymer (GRP) products have been used in the construction, corrosion and marine industries for many decades.
• Fiberglass pool technology is widely used for corrosion control in harsh chemical environments. Glass Reinforced Polymer composites are totally engineered materials. The physical, mechanical, electrical, chemical and corrosion resistant characteristics of these composites can be adjusted to suit a particular application.
• Fiber Reinforced Polymer has the advantage of corrosion resistance, high strength to weight ratio, low maintenance and a longer life cycle, as compared to traditional materials such as concrete and other entrenched materials.
