The ultimate lining for ponds and swimming pools. However, these are individually priced and based on size and requirements. Please read the following about preparation.
Construction Materials
As a general rule the pond should be constructed to be structurally sound since the fibreglass only provides the waterproof seal. On no account use a P.V.A. based sealer to seal or prime any surfaces. These materials can contain ammonia and also stop the fibreglass from adhering to the render.
Ponds will normally be constructed with either brick, lightweight block or concrete block and then rendered. It is not necessary to add waterproofing agents to the render mix as this will increase the density of the render and can inhibit penetration of the resin. If a waterproofing agent has been used, simply rub down the surface with an abrasive to obtain a key.
If a fibre is used to give strength to the render, it is necessary to burn off, or sand down, any fibres that are on the surface as any fibres that protrude will cause what is known as a ‘bridge’ in the fibreglass.
The cement render should be trowelled to an even surface, but not to a smooth dense plaster like finish, since this prevents the penetration of the resin. New render should be kept damp for the first three days and then allowed to harden for 21-28 days depending on conditions.
Things to ensure superb finish
1. NO water must be leaking back into the pool
2. Pool MUST be completely dry
3. Pool MUST be swept out and dust free on day of application
4. If covered access must be allowed under cover giving a clear air flow
5. Steps or ladders to be supplied to allow access to pool
6. Weather is the most important consideration unless you have a 100% dry cover
We offer a swimming pool lining service using the correct resins, top coats and guarantee a smooth finish to ensure safety of users.
