The right finish can make a major impact on your pool renovation. People notice this surface when they first look at a pool, and it can also impact the feel. Pebble, quartz, and plaster are three of the most common finish options. To help you make an informed decision, here’s a rundown of each one.

Which Pool Finish Should I Choose?

1. Pebble

Pebble or aggregate finishes consist of a plaster mix combined with small, polished stones. These stones give the surface a beautiful variance of color and texture while offering durability. The stones don’t fade, chip, or crumble when exposed to UV rays or pool chemicals, so pebble is a long-lasting option for those who want to make an investment in their pool renovation.

2. Quartz

Quartz is a natural mineral that is hard and non-porous. In pool finishing, quartz is mixed with cement to create a durable surface that can be installed efficiently. This option can hold up well against pool chemicals and is resistant to chipping and etching. In addition, quartz comes in a wide array of colors, so you can choose the style that best suits your outdoor space.

3. Plaster

Plaster finishes are made using cement, marble, and additives. It offers a consistent look and smooth surface. It can also be dyed blue, green, or gray shades to blend in or give the pool a natural look. This option, which is also sometimes referred to as marcite, is one of the more affordable varieties available and can last for a decade or more under the right conditions.
