A New Generation of Pool Finishes
Modern Pool Finishes
Gunite pools give you the most flexibility with the appearance of your pool.
Generally, pool plaster tends to erode over time. This causes the pool surface to cut, scrape, and scratch the skin. A pool plaster finish typically lasts between 5 and IO years. This figure is all based on proper water chemistry and maintenance. For pool owners that want or need to remodel their plaster, there are new types of pool finishes that offer new looks and extended life.
Aggregate swimming pool finishes have been growing in popularity over the last few decades.
Today, they have taken the top spot from pool plaster as the most desirable pool finish option. Aggregate pool finishes contain river pebbles, stones, ceramic-coated crystals, or glass, which are combined with Portland cement-based pigmented plaster and applied pneumatically. Most pool owners have chosen to go with an aggregate pool finish because of its durability and visual appeal. Companies such as NPT® offer a wide array of pool finishes with different aggregates.
The recent trend toward an aggregate pool finish over pool plaster will add life to any swimming pool. Exposed aggregate pool finishes incorporate stones, pebbles, and/or glass beads into the pool plaster to add resilience and aesthetic qualities. Because of this, aggregate finishes are more resistant to pool chemical imbalances than other finishes and last much longer.
Exposed aggregate pool finishes have been shown to have a lifespan of between 15 and 20 years.
