Swimming Pools – Spa’s – Hot tubs – Slides – Baptismal and Water Theme Parks
Gel coat (also known as fiberglass pool paint)
Even the best fiberglass and hybrid (concrete and fiberglass) pools need refinishing after fifteen to twenty years.
Some fiberglass pool owners have used pool paint or 2-part epoxy in an attempt to restore their swimming pools. Rubber based paint or 2 part epoxy are not made for fiberglass pools, spa’s, or hot tubs, and they don’t work well. Two part epoxy has a maximum life expectancy for commercial pools of one year, and just two years for residential pools.
Now, pool owners can restore their pool to it’s original beauty and stain free condition with Fibre-Shelkote gelcoat , made for fiberglass swimming pools, spas, hot tubs, sliding boards, baptistery, and water park slides.
Gel coat was the original finish on every fiberglass swimming pool when it was manufactured at the factory . High quality gel coat is used by every fiberglass pool manufacturer for long lasting beauty. Gel coat provides a hard, bright, non-porous finish, which protects the resins and fiberglass.
When the gel coat loses its ability to protect the fiberglass, it begins to blister and stain. Fiberglass swimming pool manufacturers neglect to mention this aspect of maintenance when you buy the pool. Nevertheless, it will eventually happen to every fiberglass pool The better the pool (usually more expensive), the longer it takes before resurfacing is necessary. Be sure to readSwimming pool preparation and gel coat application instructions.
