All About The Finish: A Brief List Of Pool Finishes To Inspire Your Next Pool Renovation Project In The North Dallas Area
Published by Rick Morton on
If you own a pool in the north Dallas area ( Wylie, Allen, McKinney, Richardson and surrounding areas ), this time of year could very well mean planning out a pool renovation project ahead of summer.
Summer is arguably the best time to enjoy your pool area, so you want to make sure your pool projects are wrapped up in time to enjoy those summertime events.
Summertime can include friends and family birthday parties, 4th of July celebrations, weddings, weekend get-togethers, sports events — the memories you make in summer can be endless.
You want those memories to be filled with the beautiful background of your backyard pool area, so planning out a renovation project can be a great way to make a lasting impression during those events.
Pool renovation projects can include many different activities – from coping upgrades, to pool deck refinishes to lighting upgrades, and other components, but most will include some pool interior work.
To help those new to pool renovation projects below are some common pool finishes that area homeowners opt for when upgrading their pool experience.
Plaster Pool Interior Finish
The least expensive and most classic, smooth finish in this list, it’s also less durable than other types of finishes and requires a bit more maintenance.
Pebble Pool Interior Finish
Pebble pool finishes are a type of exposed aggregate pool finish that combines cement with very small pebbles, both of which can come in a variety of colors and textures.
Pebble finishes are also very durable and can last much longer than traditional plaster finishes, but can be a bit harder to clean as it has a more textured finish.
Quartz Pool Interior Finish
Quartz is another exposed aggregate pool finish, but instead of pebbles, it includes quartz stone (or synthetic quartz) and is mixed into cement.
This is a much more smooth finish than pebble and has similar durability and may require a bit more maintenance and is a bit easier to clean.
Polished Aggregate Pool Interior Finish
Polished aggregate finishes are similar in composition to pebble and quartz finishes above, with the exception that the surface is polished to a smooth finish instead of the textured feel that exposed aggregate creates.
Glass Pool Interior Finish
Glass pool finishes offer a nice alternative to exposed aggregates above by replacing pebble and quartz with glass beads.
The beads offer a brilliant look that gives off a “shimmering”, luxury look for your pool.
Tile Pool Interior Finish
Last, but not least tile pool finishes offer one of the most popular and durable finishes you can renovate your pool interior with.
Tile material can be glass, ceramic, stone, metal or concrete — and with almost limitless color and design options.
Pool Finish Colors
Likely a section deserving its own post, your pool finish can also be customized to match certain colors around your home, so that’s also something you can consider when mapping out your project this year.
While this isn’t a complete list, if you’re planning out a new pool finish as part of your renovation project this year, there’s a very good chance you’ll ultimately decide on one of the above pool finishes.
I say this often, but your swimming pool isn’t just another ornament for your residential property — it’s a source of endless memories during your north Texas summers.
Picking out a wonderful, new pool interior finish is one great step in ensuring those memories are unique and timeless for years to come.
