Gel coat fiberglass panels are commonly used for applications requiring durability, moisture resistance, and a smooth finish. These panels are made from a fiberglass substrate coated with a gel coat layer, which provides an attractive, glossy finish and added protection against environmental elements. If you’re considering them for a specific project or application, such as RVs, trailers, or other custom builds, they can be a strong choice for both function and appearance.
