Fibreglass has seen its popularity surge in the UK in recent years. Its versatile nature means it can be used for many purposes including Boat building and repairs, Arts and Crafts projects, Construction – including Roofing and Pond building as well as many others. In fact, the only thing that will hold you back in relation to working with fibreglass is your imagination!
Fibreglass material will not rot or corrode, making it perfect material for the unpredictable weather that the UK knows only all too well. Fibreglass cloth and resin kits will give you value for money in terms of durability and dependency once all materials are applied correctly. For example – a fibreglass roof will easily last in excess of 20 years with little or no maintenance. There are also a fantastic range of GRP edge trims which will finish off any fibreglass roof to a professional standard.

A fibreglass pond will make a fantastic feature to any garden. Fibreglass is the ideal choice for pond building as it is not only aesthetically beautiful but safe for fish too (which is obviously important!). The FibreGlassDirect pond kits provide two layers of 450g matting, surface tissue, resin, tools and a choice of six topcoats to choose from which will enhance the appearance of fish swimming against the backdrop of the pond. It is important to note that whilst the pond will be cured after a short period of time it is important to allow time for the styrene to fully evaporate before introducing the fish.
For more information on pond building and installation view our easy to follow guidelines or visit our Fibreglass Pond Kits and Materials page.
Fibreglass boats has been used in the marine industry for decades. The UK has a very strong boating and marine industry so it's no suprise that fibreglass products are in high demand. Both polyester and epoxy resins can be used for the repair and manufacture of boats. Although it is important to note that if you are repairing an epoxy substrate, epoxy must be used for the repair too. The durable and long life span that fibreglass provides is perfect for the harsh and demanding conditions of the sea.
