Thursday Pools Continues Investment Into Quality Molds
Coming from the boating industry, we learned a thing or two about perfecting the fit and finish of fiberglass parts.  In order to make the boat deck and hull fit together perfectly we had to have quality molds as strong and rigid as steel, so that is what we used to make our molds.  Thursday Pools adopted this and applied it to our pool molds. Thursday Pools constructs fiberglass swimming pool molds using all steel substructure. Our larger molds, such as the Goliath 1641, have 4000 pounds of steel for the substructure. Steel versus wood makes our molds rigid, strong and dimensionally stable. Temperature and humidity can cause dimensional instability with wood substructure molds. This is the reason why Thursday Pools invested the extra money to make the very best quality molds in the industry. This translates into straight, level and dimensionally precise pools. Why is this important? It provides you a pool that can be installed quickly, easily and when it is installed…the pool will look level, straight and fit perfectly with an automatic pool cover and your preferred decking. Thursday Pools LLC designs and manufactures one-piece fiberglass swimming pools and spas. We are located in Fortville Indiana. To contact […]
Read MoreThursday Pools®Textured Surfaces for Fiberglass Pools
We have learned a thing or two throughout the years in the fiberglass manufacturing industry. Boat building and fabrication of automotive components has been very beneficial for our fiberglass pool manufacturing. One of the takeaways is our fiberglass texture for pools. Thursday Pools® uses a proprietary process to produce our fiberglass texture surfaces on each pool. The steps, seats, tanning areas and safety ledges all have this proprietary surface finish. This fiberglass texture provides a non-slip surface while at the same time is easy on the skin. The surface is smooth to the touch but provides an excellent non-slip area to walk on. Is the technique to produce this surface patented? No, but it is one of Thursday Pools® trade secrets which differentiates us from other pool manufactures. With thirty years in the fiberglass industry: marine, automotive and pools, what would you expect? …your weekend starts early with us…™
