Carbon Fiber ~ Composite Pools Construction


Carbon fiber has the highest compressive strength of ALL the reinforcing materials. The same high strength material found in automobiles, boats, and airplanes is found in our Composite Pools.

Carbon fiber is similar to fiberglass. It’s a strong yet light composite material. It has many applications in aerospace and automotive fields, as well as in sailboats, and notably in modern bicycles and motorcycles, where its high strength-to-weight ratio is of importance. Its increasingly common in small consumer goods as well, such as laptops, tripods, fishing rods, paintball equipment, archery equipment, racquet frames, stringed instrument bodies, classical guitar strings, drum shells, golf clubs, and pool/billiards/snooker cues.

Carbon fibers are classified by the tensile modulus of the fiber. Tensile modulus is a measure of how much pulling force a certain diameter fiber can exert without breaking. Carbon fibers have a tensile modulus from 34.8 million psi up to 145 million psi. As a comparison, steel has a tensile modulus of about 29 million psi. Thus, the strongest carbon fiber is about five times stronger than steel. During the manufacturing process carbon fiber is strategically infused into the stress points of a Composite Pool to increase its overall strength and durability. Mats of carbon fiber are strategically hand rolled into stress points to make sure every pool is built using the strongest method available in the industry.

Composite Pools offers a Lifetime Structural Warranty on every pool, giving you the industry’s strongest level of protection for your investment. You can swim peacefully knowing that your pool is backed by the largest manufacturer of composite fiberglass swimming pools in North America.
