FABRICATION: HOW ITS MADE
POOL SHELL LAYERS
Latham Fiberglass Swimming Pools are extremely strong and durable and have been the industry standard for over four decades. Through exhaustive research and development, the Latham Materials and Process Engineering Team has strategically developed a method of fiberglass pool manufacturing that incorporates a combination of 100% vinyl ester resin, ceramic infused polyester resin, specialty structural reinforcements, combo E-Glass mat, Kevlar and Carbon Fibers, and Biaxial reinforcements, that creates a fiberglass swimming pool shell that is easily considered the best fiberglass swimming pool on the market.
➊ CRYSTITE GELCOAT
Engineered and built for fade, stain and scratch resistance, this gelcoat has been offering the industry’s most beautiful and durable swimming pool surface in its most popular colors for over 25 years. And now you can enjoy the radiance of the exclusive G3 finishes, adding an extra sparkle to your pool.
➋ VINYL ESTER RESIN
Latham resins are designed for corrosion and impact resistance, flexibility, strength and durability.
➌ ADVANCED CERAMIC CONSTRUCTION
Ceramic-infused resin provides increased stiffness.
➍ BiMAX RADIUS REINFORCEMENT
The tight weave and direction of the fibers within this material add tremendous strength to the pool shell.
➎ CARBON-INFUSED TECHNOLOGY
Carbon fibers have the highest compressive strength of all reinforcing materials, and are found in automobiles, boats, yachts, airplanes—and spaceships!
➏ DuPONT KEVLAR ARAMID FIBERS
Developed for demanding industrial and advanced-technology applications, Kevlar combines high strength, toughness and thermal stability.
➐ WOVEN ROVING & MARINE-GRADE RESIN
Woven roving dramatically reinforces the strength of the pool shell.
➑ CLOSED BEAM CONSTRUCTION
Latham’s unique closed beam construction creates unparalleled strength and rigidity.
