One of the most frequently asked questions regarding in-ground pools is about the durability of gelcoat, especially its susceptibility to UV rays. Today, we will try to dispel any doubts and provide an answer to this question.
If you’re wondering what gelcoat actually is, let us explain. Gelcoat is a material widely used in pool production. In our case, we use gelcoats from Ashland, known for their high quality and durability.
In response to the question of whether gelcoat will discolor under the influence of UV rays, we can confidently state that the Ashland gelcoats we use are resistant to these harmful rays. This ensures that your pool will remain beautifully intact for many years.
However, it’s important to note that the durability of gelcoat is also dependent on usage conditions and maintenance. Proper usage and regular maintenance of the pool are crucial to maintain its pristine appearance in the long run. Therefore, we always recommend following the usage instructions provided with each of our pools.
An important aspect to highlight is that the pool should be filled with water. Besides the aesthetic aspect, the water filling the pool also serves a protective function for the gelcoat. This minimizes exposure to UV rays and keeps the gelcoat in excellent condition.
In summary, the Ashland gelcoats we use in our pools are resistant to UV rays. If you use the pool according to the instructions and regularly maintain it, you can be confident that you won’t experience any discoloration. However, remember that the durability of the gelcoat depends on usage conditions and maintenance.
