Some of the advantages of plastering your swimming pool vs. applying other surfaces is cost and the overall texture of the plaster finish itself, a quality plastering application will be smooth and cost less than other surfaces. However the overall life of the plaster will depend on the pool owners chemical maintenance. The average pool plaster application in Arizona lasts about 8 years before it shows significant staining and chemical reactions. The product itself consists of a few components to the formula depending on what applicator and product you end up with, for the most part pool plaster is a quality portland white cement mixed with a very white fine sand and some polymer additives, depending on what time of year will dictate what additives we use to aid the curing time. In the past two years plaster has been making a comeback, primarily the cost is the key factor in the choice behind the surface. As the economy left many homes in foreclosure new homeowners are looking to have a new pool interior installed to make the pool swim ready again.
Quartz pool surfaces are a medium upgrade from plaster, most of the choices available are relatively close in terms of the quartz itself, the formula that you end up with is really the key to the integrity of the finish. Quartz pool surfaces start with the portland white cement and Quartz minerals are added to the product along with sand and polymers, if you selected a color surface the pigments would be added as well. This product is just as smooth as plaster and offers some color in the Quartz to make the surface more interesting looking with a bit more strength against chemical breakdown, but still can stain as easy as plaster.
Pebble surfaces offer the best durability on the pool finish market, early pebble surfaces offered larger rocks and have earned a negative reputation for the surface having a rough texture to the swimmers feet. Pebble surfaces have changed since those days, newer pebble surfaces offer finer tumbled stones that can even be polished down with diamond discs to leave the pool surface with a smooth finish. Pebble surfaces do not stain as easy as plaster and quartz surfaces and overall can withstand chemical exposure much more than any other pool surface today.
