Why are RivieraPools built from glass-fibre reinforced plastic?

Glass-fibre reinforced plastic is a modern high-performance material that is used today in aircraft and ship building, in wind turbines or motorcycle helmets. This composite material offers the advantage of combining the extreme strength of fiberglass with the chemical resistance of epoxy acrylate. The material is particularly well-suited for swimming pool construction because the one-piece pools are waterproof, extremely weather-resistant, and insensitive to frost and heat. Dirt hardly stands a chance on the smooth surface – which makes RivieraPools exceptionally easy to clean. It is particularly important that glass-fibre reinforced plastics are processed as a viscous material onto molded parts. This allows fixtures for technical components to be molded in, for example recesses for floor drains, massage jets, technical shafts, support edges for roller shutters, and steps. The pool body can be produced in a sandwich construction, thereby obtaining extreme stability on one hand and very good thermal insulation on the other.

The pool bodies of RivieraPool prefabricated swimming pools consist of seven material layers – each plays a very specific role in its place, and together in the composite they are responsible for the unique properties of the pool: color-fast, easy-to-clean, skin-friendly, long-term resistant to osmosis and fading, energy-saving, and stable.
