Facebook← Back to How much resin do I need for a pool surround?
Choosing between a 5cm or 10cm pour resin can significantly affect both the appearance and durability of your pool surround. Here’s what you need to know to select the right product for your specific project.
Comparing 5cm and 10cm Pour Resins
For residential pool surround projects with a casting depth up to 5cm, EpoxyTable 5-Five offers reliable performance. It’s formulated to cure steadily in thicknesses up to 5cm without excessive heat build-up or curing issues.
If your design, feature, or installation requires a single pour deeper than 5cm (up to 10cm), especially in larger commercial settings, Epoxytable 10-Ten is designed for greater depth. This ensures proper curing and structural integrity throughout the thicker layer.
How to Choose the Right Epoxy for Your Pool Surround
- Measure Your Desired Pour Depth: For layers up to 5cm, choose EpoxyTable 5-Five; for 5cm to 10cm, 10-Ten is better suited.
- Project Scale: For larger projects or commercial areas needing extra durability at increased thickness, Epoxytable 10-Ten gives added confidence.
- Curing Management: Thicker pours must be formulated to avoid overheating—do not attempt a single 10cm pour with a 5cm-rated resin.
When This Matters
Selecting the correct resin is particularly important when your pool surround includes built-in features, embedded objects, or requires substantial depth for strength. Using the wrong formulation can lead to curing failures or imperfections in the final finish.
