How our Viking Pools are made....

Have you ever wondered how a Viking fiberglass pool is formed? Your curiosity is about to be quenched. Here are the 10 steps it takes to complete the formation of a Viking fiberglass pool!


1. Prepare the mold so that the pool easily separates from the mold to give the pool a better quality finish.


2. Our standard gel-coat, premium Crystite®, or Diamond Series™ finish is added, which has a 20-year warranty. Our Crystite® finish is available in 86,400,000 colors though our Kaleido-Center.


3. Vinyl Ester Resin is then added to provide the greatest impact resistance, blister protection, and give the gel-coat, Crystite®, or Diamond Series™ finish a gorgeous profile.


4. Additional layers of Vinyl Ester Resin, chopped and hand laid fiberglass are strategically placed for durability and strength.


5. The heart of every Viking pool is the ceramic core, an additional layer which is sandwiched between protective layers of specially designed resin and fiberglass. The ceramic core adds a greater strength to the pool walls and provides enhanced water resistance.


6. Fiberglass is hand-laid across the pool to complete the important corrosion barrier to enhance durability. Additional layers of chopped fiberglass are added. When combined with the hand-lied fiberglass it provides additional strength.



7. Honeycomb vertical supports are added to help support the walls during the installation process. The closed beam construction is then completed to strengthen the coping around the pool and allow easier lifting of the pool. Chains are always secured around the pool for easy unloading and setting.


8. The completed pool is lifted off the mold.


9. The pool is then detailed according to specification for a spectacular finish.


10. The pool is loaded onto the truck and ready for delivered to your home.

So next time, you are out driving down the highway and you see a fiberglass pool on a flatbed truck, you will know how it is made and that there is about to be a very happy homeowner.
