There are many different brands of pool surfaces that offer a beautiful and durable finish for your pool. While each has their pros and cons, one of the most popular amongst pool owners and pool service companies is Diamond Brite. If you are shopping around for the best option for your next pool resurfacing, here are some advantages to choosing a Diamond Brite product for your project.

  1. Longevity. Some pool finishes use marble-based products that do not stand up well to pool chemicals and wear, dissolving quicker than desired. Diamond Brite uses quartz aggregates that offer a more durable plaster for your pool surface since quartz is insoluble. Plus, the advanced polymer make-up in the cement helps improve the durability and hardness of Diamond Brite surface.
  2. Stain resistance. The quartz aggregates that make Diamond Brite durable also make the surface resist stains, etching and rust. This keeps the surface looking like new for many years, offering a brilliance that is hard to match with other pool resurfacing products.
  3. Styles. Diamond Brite comes in a large selection of colors and options to enhance the style and beauty of your pool. The colors not only do not fade, they become more beautiful over time. You can even have a custom color-blend made for your pool, to have a unique look that will make your pool a showpiece.

If you are ready to give your swimming pool a much-needed makeover, Diamond Brite is one of the best options for resurfacing. Contact your local pool renovation specialist that offers Diamond Brite resurfacing to learn more about this incredible option for a new brilliant finish for your pool.

Top 3 Things That Can Damage Your Pool Surface

Comments Off on Top 3 Things That Can Damage Your Pool Surface

Is your pool surface stained or faded, chipped or dingy? While quality pool surfaces can last for several years or more with excellent maintenance, they will eventually get damaged. Stains will occur; both inorganic and organic substances will cause discolorations. Plus, other elements can damage your pool’s surface. Here are the top three factors that damage the surface of your pool over the years.

  1. Algae and plant material. Leaves, algae and other organic materials can stain your pool surface. You may find brown, green, blue or red stains from these organic substances. Keeping your pool clean is the best way to avoid these types of stains; they can be difficult to remove once they occur.
  2. Sun exposure. Not all pool surfaces are fade-resistant. Many will fade and become dull over years in the sun. The best way to prevent this damage is to resurface with a fade-resistant material that will keep its luster, even after many years in the sun.
  3. Minerals and chemicals. Minerals and chemicals in the water, plumbing equipment and even in the pool surface can cause changes in the color and quality of your pool’s surface. Copper, manganese, iron and cobalt are all common culprits that can stain your pool.

Wear, tear and traffic will also damage your pool’s surface. The higher quality surfaces are more adept for resisting wear, lasting years longer than cheaper materials.

If your pool’s surface is looking worn, it may be time to resurface. Choose a top-quality surface that has fade-resistant qualities and comes with a guarantee. Talk to your local pool remodel specialist to find the best new surface for your pool. Starting with a quality surface and keeping up with routine maintenance is the best way to keep your pool looking like new.

Comments Off on Do Pool Tiles Date Your Pool?

Do you have an older pool with porcelain or glazed tile? While these types of tile are common, especially in motel or public pools, they can seem a little outdated in a residential pool. If you are considering updating your pool, there are some newer styles to consider versus the old tiles from decades ago. Here are some ideas for resurfacing your pool if you want to stick with tile, but want a new look.

  • Glass tiles. One of the most popular options in pool tiles is glass. This style can give your pool a modern look, even if it was originally installed 20-30 years ago. Glass tiles comes in a wide variety of colors and shapes, helping create a stunning new look for your pool.
  • Stone tiles. The natural look never goes out of style in the right setting. If you are creating a backyard tropical oasis, stone tiles can help with the illusion. Stone tiles give your pool the look of a natural pond, a perfect pairing with rock waterfalls and foliage.
  • Metal tiles. While not as popular as many other tile options, if you want a unique appearance for your pool, consider metal tiles. This is a wonderful surface for those that want to have a pool style that is luxurious and out of the ordinary.

Tiles are still a popular option for pool surfacing, but the trends for style have slanted toward glass versus the old glazed or porcelain tiles. If you are ready to bring your pool up-to-date, contact your pool remodeling contractor to discuss the new options in tile and other popular modern pool surfaces.

If you are installing a new pool or your old pool’s surface is worn, choosing the type of pool surface you will use is on your agenda. There are many different options available for pool surfaces, in a wide variety of price and aesthetic options. One of the most popular surface is Pebble Tech, a finish that combines pebble aggregates with cement. Here are some of the benefits of this surface type to consider when choosing your new pool surface.

  • Pebble Tech offers a long lifespan for your new pool surface. This surface can last up to twenty years, giving you decades of use before it needs to be replaced again.
  • Stain resistance. One of the drawbacks of some of the lower cost pool surfaces is that they can stain easily. Pebble Tech is stain-resistant, making it easier to keep clean.

  • Pebble Tech is slip-resistant, making it a safe surface for your family. The surface grips feet to reduce falls, without being rough or hard on the feet.
  • Color options. You can choose from many different colors and finishes for your new Pebble Tech pool surface, creating a gorgeous style for your pool.

Talk to your pool contractor about the benefits of investing in a Pebble Tech surface for your pool remodel or new pool. It is worth spending a little extra to get a surface that is easy to maintain, looks great, and will last for many years.
