Unique Composite Construction
Using the latest technology in composites, we incorporate epoxy by infusion through a unique vacuum bag process. Carbon fiber, Kevlar and S-glass are used to make GlasLite floats a premier product. We are now able to use aramid fabrics like Kevlar because of our infusion process. Substantially lighter in overall weight than aluminum or composite floats of same displacement.
