Fiberglass is a combination of resin and glass fibers which creates a fiber reinforced plastic.

Fiberglass is made by adding resin to the glass fibers. Different resins can then be added to make the product stronger, tougher, and less brittle. Fiberglass can easily be molded into a variety of shapes and is incorporated into many industrial products due to its malleability and durability, including everything from equipment shelters to ducts to airplanes.

How fiber swimming pools are made ?

The pool pattern

It all starts with a mold. We build the pattern (or plug) of the pool from scratch out of wood. Once the wooden frame is built and the pool shape is set, we start building the mold inside of the pattern. We can use the mold to make hundreds of fiberglass swimming pools, each with the exact same shape and features.

To make a fiberglass swimming pool shell from a mold, we start by spraying the outside of the mold with the gelcoat layer. The gelcoat is the smooth surface of the pool that you see and touch.

Next, we apply a vinyl ester resin barrier coat. The vinyl ester resin (as opposed to polyester resin) creates a watertight barrier which prevents the gelcoat from forming bubbles (AKA osmotic blisters, a common problem with fiberglass pools).

The next layer uses chopped fiberglass and polyester resin. We only need one layer of vinyl ester resin to make the pool watertight, so we finish the rest of the pool shell with traditional polyester resin. We also layer on woven roving (woven glass fibers) onto stress points of the pool and apply structural honeycomb fiberglass in strategic areas to add even more strength.

Finally we spray on one last layer of fiberglass with polyester resin before we let the pool cure, remove it from the mold, trim the excess fiberglass from the edges, and perform our quality inspection.
