When people think of plaster, they normally think of the smooth, white surface that is troweled into the pool. But there are actually many choices on the market for the interior of your pool.
The three most common choices for pool interiors are plaster, quartz and rock. Quartz and rock surfaces were developed to enhance the looks and improve the strength of plaster. However, like most improvements, quartz and rock cost more than plaster. Below is detailed information about each product, so you can decide which surface is best for you.
Traditional Plaster
Standard white plaster is the tried and true pool and spa surface finish. White plaster has been around as long as people have been building swimming pools and it remains a popular choice despite the myriad of choices that have come into the market in recent years. Its simple combination of white cement, white marble aggregate and water make for an economical choice that will give you that classic swimming pool look. When filled with water, pools and spas surfaced in white plaster create a brilliant, clean, light blue appearance, and a plaster surface is very smooth to the touch. With proper maintenance, a new plaster surface will give about 5 to 10 years of good service.
