Product Description

Fiberglass is a popular choice for commercial water slides due to several advantages:

• Smooth Surface: Fiberglass provides a smooth, frictionless surface for riders, ensuring a fast and enjoyable ride.
• Design Flexibility: Fiberglass can be molded into a wide variety of shapes and sizes, allowing for creative and unique water slide designs.
• Relatively Lighter Weight: Compared to steel or concrete, fiberglass is lighter weight, making it easier to transport and install.
• Lower Maintenance: Fiberglass requires less maintenance than other materials, such as painting or rustproofing.

Here are some of the different types of fiberglass commercial water slides available:

• Body Slides: These are the most common type of water slide and consist of a single, enclosed tube that riders slide down. Body slides can be straight, curved, or winding
  
• Durability: Fiberglass is a strong and resilient material that can withstand years of use in a chlorine and UV environment. This makes it a good investment for water parks and other commercial applications
  Raft Slides: These slides are designed for riders to ride down on inflatable rafts. Raft slides can be a fun and exciting way for groups of people to experience a water slide together.
  Aqualoop Slides: These slides feature a vertical loop that riders travel through. Aqualoop slides are not for the faint of heart and provide a thrilling ride experience
  Family Slides: These slides are designed for riders of all ages and abilities. Family slides are typically wider and less steep than other types of slides
