Pool Construction Layers
At The Fibreglass Pool Company, we build our pools to last. Using seven advanced layers, our fibreglass pools offer exceptional strength, durability, and long-term protection against corrosion, UV damage, and everyday wear.
It’s engineering you can trust for years of worry-free enjoyment.
LAYER 1: Interior Surface Finish
Advanced Pool Colour Technology gelcoat with a Lifetime Interior Surface Guarantee that is UV and chemical resistant using the best colour technology currently available.
LAYER 2: Anti-Corrosion Barrier
Highest quality Vinyl Ester resin layer, providing excellent bonding to Advanced Pool Colour Technology as well as superior chemical and water resistance for the highest protection.
LAYER 3: First Structural Layer and Additional Chemical Resistant Layer
Additional layer of the highest quality Vinyl Ester resin combined with JUSHI E6-CR glass fibre to further increase corrosion resistance and strength to the laminate.
LAYER 4: Kevlar Coping System Layer
Consists of our World-first patent pending Advanced Kevlar® Coping System, combined with a third layer of the highest quality Vinyl Ester resin. “5 times stronger than steel”.
LAYER 5: Second Structural Layer
Consists of high quality Polyester resin and JUSHI E6-CR glassfibre with additional structural enhanced properties. No fillers used.
LAYER 6: Reinforcement Layer
Additional layer of high quality Polyester resin and JUSHI E6-CR glassfibre with additional structural enhanced properties added to the reinforcement structures on the pool shell. No fillers used.
LAYER 7: Outer Sealer Coat
Glossy finish coat with a high quality waxed Polyester resin to protect the pool layers.
Vinyl Ester Resin
Is the highest quality resin available for swimming pools with excellent resistance to osmosis, heat, corrosion and water damage. Vinyl Ester resin is twice the price of alternative resin types. The Fibreglass Pool Company uses three layers of Vinyl Ester resin in the manufacturing of our pools, ensuring a longer lasting pool with increased strength and protection.
Benefits of Vinyl Ester Resin "Making Your Pool Last Longer"
- Higher resistance to water penetration and damage (Osmosis)
- Higher resistance to heat
- Higher resistance from corrosion
- Improved strength properties
Jushi E6 Glass Fiber
Is a high-performance, environmentally-friendly glass fibre that replaces mainstream E glass fibre.
JUSHI E6 is a new E-glass fibre with enhanced properties. It combines all the benefits of E-glass fibre with technical breakthroughs in strength, modulus, temperature resistance and acid corrosion resistance, thus meeting the requirements of the most demanding applications. Compared with traditional E-glass fibre, JUSHI E6-CR offers the following unique benefits:
- Higher tensile strength
- Higher temperature endurance
- Higher corrosion resistance
- Higher softening temperature
- Superior mechanical properties
- Excellent environment durability
Note: The Fibreglass Pool Company does not use fillers, “Modulus” or alternative Vinyl Ester Resin replacements to save costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Vinyl Ester resin superior to other resins used in pools?
Vinyl Ester resin offers higher resistance to osmosis, heat, corrosion, and water damage compared to standard polyester resins. It also improves overall strength and longevity, making it ideal for long-lasting fibreglass pools.
How does the Kevlar® Coping System benefit my pool?
The patent-pending Kevlar® Coping System adds structural reinforcement, making the pool shell up to five times stronger than steel in key stress areas, ensuring long-term durability.
What role does JUSHI E6 glass fibre play in the pool structure?
JUSHI E6-CR glass fibre provides superior tensile strength, temperature resistance, corrosion protection, and environmental durability, enhancing both structural integrity and lifespan.
Why does The Fibreglass Pool Company avoid using fillers in its pools?
Avoiding fillers ensures that all layers maintain maximum strength and protective qualities. This approach eliminates weak points and extends the lifespan of the pool shell.
How does the outer sealer coat protect the pool?
The glossy outer sealer coat made of waxed polyester resin shields the pool from UV exposure, environmental wear, and minor abrasions, maintaining the pool’s appearance and integrity.
How do multiple structural layers improve pool safety?
Each structural and reinforcement layer distributes stress evenly across the shell, improving resistance to pressure, shifting soil, and everyday use, reducing the risk of cracks or deformation.
Is maintenance different for a pool built with these advanced layers?
Yes. Fibreglass pools with multiple protective layers require minimal maintenance due to their smooth, non-porous surfaces, and the combination of resins and fibres reduces chemical absorption and surface wear.
How long can I expect my fibreglass pool to last?
With advanced construction layers including Vinyl Ester resin, JUSHI E6 glass fibre, and Kevlar® reinforcement, a properly maintained fibreglass pool can last 25–30 years or more.
What kind of repairs are needed over the lifetime of the pool?
Thanks to the strong, multi-layered construction, repairs are minimal. Most maintenance is cosmetic, like gelcoat touch-ups, with the structural layers providing long-term durability against cracks and osmosis.
Does the advanced construction make the pool more expensive?
While high-quality materials like Vinyl Ester resin and Kevlar® increase upfront costs slightly, the longevity, reduced maintenance, and superior strength make it a cost-effective investment over the pool’s lifetime.
