FIBREGLASS POOL CHOPPED STRAND MATT 50KG (COLLECTION ONLY)

Product Description:

The Fibreglass Pool Chopped Strand Mat 50kg (Collection Only) is a professional-grade reinforcement material used in swimming pool and pond fibreglass linings. At 450g/m² density, this mat provides excellent structural strength, durability, and water resistance when combined with resin and top coat.

A 50kg roll covers approximately 90m² raw surface area, but once overlap and wastage are factored in, it is designed to effectively line ±80m² of pool surface area. This makes it the go-to choice for large residential and commercial pool projects where long-lasting fibreglass protection is required.

Used with isophthalic pool resin, clear tissue, catalyst, and top coat, the mat forms a strong, smooth, and watertight barrier that prevents leaks, resists algae growth, and extends the lifespan of concrete pool shells.

⚠️ Collection Only – This product is not available for shipping. Orders are ready for pickup within 1–2 working days. A WhatsApp notification will be sent when your roll is available.

⚠️ Not a DIY product – installation must be carried out by a qualified fibreglass applicator or pool contractor to ensure proper curing and structural bonding.

A: A 50kg roll provides ±90m² raw coverage, but after overlaps and wastage, expect ±80m² usable coverage.

Q: Is this available nationwide?
A: This version is collection only. For delivery options, see our resin and top coat shipping packs.
