MARBLITE AND FIBREGLASS RESURFACING

1. FIBREGLASS LINING AND RELINING 

BelIow is the procedure on fiberglass application:

We drain your swimming pool.

We then prepare the old surface using an acid wash. If there is a old fiberglass lining we strip it out and then do an acid wash.

We grind and sand away any unwanted residue, dirt, etc.

We then do minor pool repairs and also inspect the pool shell to ensure all is in good order before we continue.

We cut a clean, neat grove under your copings, around your weir, aimflows and lights. We cut these groves to tuck the fiberglass into to ensure it is anchored in and cannot leak and pull away from the edges. After which we seal it with a resin based bonding putty.

We then, in stages apply a clear primer Isopthalic resin layer, on to which we then apply another Isopthalic resin layer, into which we soak the 450g/m² fiberglass mat, which is then covered with another Isopthalic resin layer, sealing the 450g/m² fiberglass mat in.

We very lightly sand the450g/m² fiberglass and Isopthalic resin layers looking for imperfections and sharp edges removing them and doing a final inspection of the basic fiberglass lining before we continue.

We then very neatly and accurately apply your tissue fiberglass mosaics underneath the copings and along the steps using a clear resin and a clear gel / top coat layer to seal it all in.

We then apply a thick top / gel coat layer to these layers of resin, fiberglass and surface tissue, which is the final resin based layer that contains the colour and many of the water, chemical and UV resistant properties.  (Sky-blue or white are the standard options, although other colours are available)

2. MARBLITE LINING AND RELINING:

Below is the procedure on marblite application:

We drain your swimming pool.

We then prepare the old surface using a acid wash. If there is a old fiberglass lining we strip it out and then do an acid wash.

We then chop/ chip to create a larger surface area and small "pockets" that ensure the marblite will bond to the walls and floor. We also inspect the pool for any concerns and then do minor pool repairs as needed before we continue.

We then make a marblite and rock-bond (Bonding liquid) slurry that we cover the walls and floor with it. It soon sets and creates the ideal surface onto which we can Marblite with confidence.

We then apply your new ceramic / glass mosaics under the copings and along the step edgings using white cement. If we are not replacing your mosaics, we cut in below them, and chip away below and around them as to create a thicker strong layer of flush marblite below and around your existing mosaics. However, we recommend replacing your old mosaics if they are worn and damaged, or have lost their grouting as they can be the source of a leaking pool.

We then Marblite using the correct techniques, tools, consistency and thickness. We also add strengthening additives to the mixture. We hand mix all the marblite in the pool and in one exercise complete the Marblite application leaving no joints, and creating a smooth, consistent application to the entire pool surface. We do not over-trowl the surface which "burns" the marblite leaving dark patches where the rougher aggregates have been overworked and forced to the surface. This is a common mistake made by inexperienced applicators and creates a unsightly rough finish.

We give you a 8 year warranty on our marblite lining workmanship.
