Pool finishes matter, quite simply. Your finish is the first thing you’ll notice every time you look at your pool, and, perhaps more importantly, it acts as a protective layer between the pool water and the structural shell. That’s why you pool’s interior finish is vital to both the beauty and integrity of your aquatic retreat.
Although plaster has long been used in pool building, it is known to discolor, stain, and collect bacteria because it is difficult to clean its porous surface material. A superior option for luxury pools is a Pebble Finish, made famous by industry-leader PebbleTec. Read on for more about why PebbleTec is an ideal option for your pool project!
What Exactly is PebbleTec?
PebbleTec is a newer pool finish material used for pool resurfacing and new pool construction that has surged in popularity in recent years. What makes this product unique is the pebbles themselves, which are harvested from around the world for their color, size, and smooth shape and are combined to create a wide range of colors. While it is more expensive than a traditional plaster finish, it offers unmatched durability, natural beauty, and an ideal texture for your perfect pool.
With superior stone quality and consistency, and industry-leading pigments, PebbleTec pool finishes maintain their beauty and structural integrity.
Benefits of PebbleTec pool finishes include:
Natural Beauty
Your pool design should complement the architecture of your house, blend well with the environment, and showcase your distinct style. The beautiful South Florida landscape that surrounds your property should be elegantly showcased by a natural design, and a PebbleTec pool finish is a great way to do this. Your pool’s bottom will resemble a riverbed, adding to its alluring and peaceful appearance.
Selection of Colors and Finishes
PebbleTec offers several different finish textures as well as amazing pool water colors, ranging from icy light blues to deep ocean blues, emerald greens to rich blacks and grays, Caribbean blues to bright lagoon greens, and much more.
Non-Slip Texture
You want every aspect of your swimming experience to be ideal, even the sensation at the bottom. Plaster’s smooth surface doesn’t have the same exquisite feel as PebbleTec’s. Additionally, it is non-slip, so you can use it in your hot tub or spa to make entering and exiting safer.
Durability
Finishes from PebbleTec are exceptionally durable, which is one of the reasons they have become so celebrated. When standard plaster is exposed to chlorine, it can deteriorate with time. It may also have a hard time with a spa’s heat. PebbleTec, on the other hand, is more heat- and chemical-resistant and can sustain higher temperatures.
Long-Term Investment
When deciding which features to add to your new pool, you should take into account both the initial cost and ongoing maintenance expenditures. PebbleTec pools may initially cost a little more, but your finish will last much longer than plaster. Typically, plaster only lasts between 5 and 10 years, while PebbleTec can last more than 20 years with careful maintenance!
