"The UGlassIt System" - From Concept to Reality

uglassit logo12.jpg

Resurfacing a pool can be a daunting, timely, and costly task. But it doesn't have to be. Now the everyday backyard pool can be restored to its new condition in just a few days time at relatively little cost. With its trademark Fibre-Shelkote resin, UGlassIt took the initiative in redefining the manufacturing of swimming pool and hot tub resurfacing materials. The UGlassIt DIY Pool Restoration System is best suited for both residential and smaller commercial swimming pools but can be adapted to suit any size pool; however, the larger commercial pools require professional UGlassIt authorized Installation Specialists due to the manpower, and the skills required for the task. Make your pool new and algae free with UGlassIt!

History of the Company

UGlassIt started off as a small company but in 2002, with a staff of two super employees, they shifted to larger headquarters in Collingswood, NJ. Then two new folks were added to the staff. At that time, the business was internet based, but the success of the company was not possible without Fibre-Shelkote II Vinyl Ester Resin formulated only for swimming pools and hot tubs, and properly formulated swimming pool gelcoat. With the passage of time UGlassIt became the only distributor for Fibre-Shelkote pool resurfacing products in the North America and Caribbean regions.

About the Products

UGlassIt uses three different materials when resurfacing:

  • Fibre-Shelkote II Vinyl Ester Resin - formulated only for swimming pools and hot tubs
  • Properly formulated swimming pool gelcoat.
  • Fiberglass - which has to be modified for the different specifications of each client.

Fibre-Shelkote II is much better than the original Fibre-Shelkote Vinyl Ester Resin, and is manufactured specifically for older swimming pools, spas, and hot tubs, all of which must be resurfaced indoors or outdoors under various climatic conditions. The new (2006) resin product VE8137 has an elongated molecular structure which gives extension to the the gel-time. Long lasting application mandates that the resins and gelcoat must be applied. Solid sheets of fiberglass must be layered between the resin, and must be finished with gelcoat. Read more here.

Benefits of Using Fiber Glass

Fiberglass is very convenient to install and has the following benefits:

  • Requires no experience to install successfully
  • Requires no expensive equipment for installation and it's 17 times stronger than concrete
  • Seals the pool cracks and all the leaks
  • Guaranteed to produce medium to dark blue water
  • Offers a smooth non-slippery surface
  • Fibre-Shelkote™ has a smooth non-porous finish so algae can't cling
  • Fibre-Shelkote™ is easy to keep clean using only a soft cloth

Customer Testimonials

Everyone is amazed at the difference the UGlassIt liner made. I never thought it would turn out this nice. We use the pool just about every day and it is wonderful! Thank you for all of your help on the phone. Thanks again!

—Christine Grant, PA

I began an online search and surely enough there was - The UGlassIt Resurfacing System. My pool has now been resurfaced with your system and as the after pictures show, it is as good as (or better) than new. I wish I had known of your procedure seven years ago.

— Sincerely Roy L. Dorris, PH.D.

Dear UGlassIt, This was a pool that had been neglected for 12 years. We were told to fill it in, that it was not worth fixing. We felt we would take a chance. Your fiberglass method did the trick. We are thrilled with the results. This pool is 22' by 48' and 4 ft. deep to 10 1/2 ft deep. It took four people two days to do the job. It took a total of 20 hours from start to finish.

—Sincerely, The John Heenan Family, Oklahoma City

Just wanted to let you know how pleased we were with UGlassIt Pool Resurfacing, Inc. Myself, wife, daughter and her boyfriend followed your instructions and redid our pool in less than (20) twenty hours, and saved thousands of dollars. I would highly recommend you and your products to anyone with this type of pool. A very pleased customer.

—Clarence Littleton - AL

Did you know?
The pool wall temperature must be between 60 and 95 degrees while the resin and gelcoat are being rolled on. Also, the work should not be attempted if there is a chance of rain within an hour. The resin and gelcoat dry quickly but if it rains before that, the wet area will have gray spots. It is very important for indoor pools that the pool surface be at least 60°.
