Fiberglass Pool Manufacturing
Process
Fiberglass pools are durable and
long-lasting. In fact, the very first fiberglass
pool made in the 1950’s is still in use today. And
it looks as good as the day it left the factory.
What’s the secret? Quality control. That’s
what sets fiberglass pools apart from vinyl or
concrete pools.
Every LoneStar pool is
built in a controlled environment according to a
rigid set of standards and
specifications.
1. We begin with high
quality raw materials.
2. The mold is cleaned,
waxed, and prepared. All surface dust and
contamination is removed.
3. An even coat of
gel coat is sprayed and applied in 3 separate
passes for a smooth appearance on your pool.
4. The gel coat is allowed to cure and dry.
5. The next layer, a vinyl ester resin, is
applied at a thickness of 100 mils. This provides
a water and blister barrier for your pool.
6.
The next step is applying multiple layers of
36-ounce glass woven roving. This cloth- like
material acts like a shield of armor around your
entire pool.
7. Steel pockets are then glassed
inside the coping so your pool can be removed from
the mold and transported.
8. Your pool is set
aside and allowed to dry and cure.
9. Finally,
the pool is delivered to your home.
