Fibreglass Matting 450g/m² – Reinforcement for Swimming Pools, Ponds and Repairs

Fibreglass Matting 450g/m² – Reinforcement for Swimming Pools, Ponds and Repairs

Achieve a strong, durable fibreglass laminate with 450g/m² Fibreglass Matting, a chopped strand mat (CSM) designed for swimming pool lining, relining, pond construction and fibreglass repairs. Made from randomly oriented E-glass fibre strands held together by a soluble binder, this reinforcement material is designed to work with polyester laminating resin to create a rigid, durable composite structure.

When saturated with compatible catalysed polyester resin, the binder dissolves, allowing the matting to conform to the surface. Once cured, the glass fibres and resin form a strong laminate suitable for creating and repairing fibreglass surfaces.

The 450g/m² weight offers a practical balance between reinforcement thickness and flexibility, making it suitable for working around pool contours, corners, steps and curved edges. Multiple layers can be applied to build up the laminate thickness required for the project.

Available in 20kg, 40kg and 50kg rolls, this fibreglass matting is suitable for both smaller repair jobs and larger pool-lining projects.

Key Features and Benefits

• 450g/m² weight: Provides substantial reinforcement per layer for fibreglass laminating projects.

• E-glass chopped strand mat: Features randomly oriented glass fibres for multidirectional reinforcement.

• Suitable for pool lining and relining: Designed for use in fibreglass swimming pool construction and refurbishment.

• Flexible and conformable: Can follow curved surfaces, corners, steps, and rounded edges.

• Works with polyester laminating resin: Forms a reinforced composite laminate when correctly saturated and cured.

• Suitable for ponds: Can be used in compatible fibreglass pond construction and repair systems.

• Ideal for structural repairs: Helps reinforce damaged or refurbished fibreglass surfaces when used as part of a suitable repair system.

• Multiple roll sizes: Available in 20 kg, 40 kg, and 50 kg options to suit different project requirements.

  Applications

  Fibreglass Matting 450g/m² is suitable for:

  • Fibreglass swimming pool lining and relining.

  • Swimming pool shell repairs and refurbishment.

  • Fibreglass pond construction and repairs.

  • Reinforcement of fibreglass surfaces and composite structures.

  • Curved surfaces, steps, corners and radius edges.

  • General fibreglass laminating projects using compatible polyester resin.

  How to Use Fibreglass Matting

  1. Prepare the surface: Ensure the substrate is properly prepared and suitable for the chosen fibreglass system.

  2. Cut the matting: Cut the mat into manageable sections suited to the surface and project requirements.

  3. Apply the resin: Use a compatible catalysed polyester laminating resin according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  4. Wet out the matting: Saturate the fibres thoroughly and work out trapped air to achieve a consistent laminate.

  5. Build up layers: Apply additional layers as required to achieve the specified laminate thickness.

  6. Allow to cure: Follow the resin manufacturer's instructions for curing, finishing and any required waterproof coating.

  For swimming pools and ponds, ensure the complete resin, reinforcement, and finishing system is suitable for continuous water immersion. Follow the system manufacturer's recommendations for layer count, curing and waterproofing.
