Superior levels of service
LINDAL POOLS only install ADVANCE POOLS fibreglass swimming pools – ensuring your pool is manufactured by the largest and most reliable fibreglass swimming pool manufacturer in South Africa.
We invite you to visit ADVANCE POOLS’s factory, and experience first-hand how your pool is manufactured.
Leading international manufacturers of fibreglass materials recommend the use of a matched isophthalic – NPG, high-performance gelcoat and resin system for maximum hydrolytic stability and strength.
Let’s try that in plain English.
Lindal Pools’ shells are stronger, more superior and, have greater impact resistance, better resistance to ultra violet light, look better and will last longer.
HOW FIBREGLASS POOLS ARE MADE
The fibreglass pool shell is effectively a one-piece structure made of various layers of fibreglass materials, all melded together. The swimming pool shell typically ends up about 5+mm thick.
THE MOULD OF SWIMMING POOLS
Fibreglass pools are constructed from a mould in our factory. At Lindal Pools, our moulds are made of fibreglass and reinforced on the inside. We start with an orange mould underneath and layer the pool shell on top of it in reverse order, rather than constructing the shell on the inside of a mould. The process is referred to as open mould manufacturing. Before manufacturing of a pool can begin, the mould is thoroughly cleaned and polished to give the pool its smooth shiny finish.
THE MOSAIC
The first layer to be applied to the mould is the mosaic. The chosen mosaic is attached to the mould and then saturated with a clear gel coat (see below) containing UV stabilisers to protect the mosaic in the harsh African summers.
THE GELCOAT OF FIBREGLASS POOLS
The finish on the inside of the pool is what you see when the pool is in the ground for you to swim in.
It’s the second chemical solution to be applied to the mould and is applied as a gel (hence the name: gelcoat).
The gelcoat then hardens through a chemical bonding process that strengthens it.
The gelcoat used by Lindel Pools is a High Performance Iso/ NPG Gelcoat. It is manufactured using purified isophthalic acid, which imparts to the gelcoat excellent scratch, stain and UV resistance, as well as good mechanical properties. The gelcoat that has high durability, including long-term resistance to weathering and chemical attack. As it is applied to a smooth mould it will be smooth and durable when released from the mould and it’s algae-resistant, which is great from a maintenance perspective.

RESIN AND FIBREGLASS OF POOLS
Once the gelcoat layer has “gelled” it is time to add the fibreglass and resin layer. At Lindal Pools, we use one of two methods to add the fibreglass and resin. The method depends on the customer’s preference between “The Choppergun Method”.
