If you want to update your pool’s surface, you have several options. You can stick with traditional pool plaster that remains popular even today. For a different look, you can use tinted pool plaster that will reflect colors and add interest. White plaster is the most affordable option and it allows the clear blue of the water to stand out. However, it will also change colors over time from the alterations in the pool chemicals.
Colored plaster accentuates anything seen in white plaster. Therefore stains will be more noticeable and variations in shading will be more pronounced. The color may also fade out.
A modern option is to use aggregate effects. This uses ceramic-coated sand with a variety of patterns and colors to make your pool unique from anyone else’s. The sand provides a slip-proof surface and requires very little maintenance. When it is combined with plaster, the surface is more durable and resistant to staining than plaster. This option is more expensive than plain plaster.
The pebble surface pool is beautiful with a natural look in a wide variety of colors. It is also the most durable surface choice for a pool and does not react with pool chemicals. This allows it to retain its natural color. The down side of the pebble surface pool is that it is more expensive than the other choices. However, it will last longer and stay in better condition than the other options.
Once you determine what surface you would like to have when you update your pool, you should contact a pool renovation specialist to help you get started.
