Fibreglass solution for an antique copper
February 2014 One of our most recent projects came along when Christophe Harbour asked for our assistance with an old copper that was going to be used as a landscaping ornament. Unfortunately the copper had a big crack along the side and needed a liner so that it could hold water. Using several layers of fibreglass and pigmented resin, Fibre-Zone lined the interior of the copper seamlessly.

Most fibreglass pools can easily be
fitted with a tanning ledge and
water features. Tanning ledges are
great for sunbathing. They have just
enough water to keep you cool while
catching those rays!
Did you know?
Fibreglass pools are a lot cheaper to
run and maintain than concrete or
vinyl liner pools. The fibreglass
surface is inert, which means that it
does not degrade or interact with
the water in the pool. The smooth
surface makes for easy cleaning, but
it also requires a fraction of the pool
chemicals compared to concrete or
vinyl liner pools. The maintenance
savings could easily run a few
thousand dollars per year!
Four Seasons Resort Estates Nevis receives 4 WTPs

Chopped strand mat consists of
loose fibreglass strands that are held
together by a chemical binder that
dissolves in polyester or vinylester
resin. This is what makes chopped
strand mat suitable for moulding
because it becomes pliable and
forms easily into the shape of the
mould. Don’t use epoxy resins
though! The chemical binder in the
mat does not get dissolved by epoxy
and will prevent the resin from
adhering to the fibres.

Homeowners can add value to their
property by installing a pool.
Especially in warm climates,
investing in an in ground pool
increases the desirability of your
home and resale value. As a rule of
thumb, spend up to 8% of your
current property value on an in
ground pool. Some of the key
factors that will help to get your
investment back is to have a pool
that remains in great shape and
that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg
to maintain during the years that
you own it. This is why a quality
fibreglass pool is a good
investment. Money aside, the
laughs, relaxation, family time, and
teaching your kids how to swim are
all priceless!

Clever positioning of fibreglass tanks
April 2014 Razo Construction Inc. recently demonstrated that wastewater treatment plants don’t need to be an eyesore or landscaping nightmares. Fibreglass glass tanks have a clear advantage over concrete tanks as plant roots cannot penetrate the tanks. This means that you can safely install a tank near a planted area which forms a natural barrier against traffic. Whether you have a concrete or fibreglass system, you should always avoid vehicles driving over tanks, and sometimes this can be tricky. David di Rienzo overcame this issue at one of his construction sites by positioning his plant between some trees. Although the general area is utilised as a parking lot, the trees will naturally prevent cars from driving over the tanks. Trees and plants will also nicely camouflage the system’s manholes without interfering with the integrity of the tank.
