What is pool plaster?
Plaster is the “skin” or surface that separates the pool water from the gunite or concrete pool shell. It creates a smooth surface and provides a watertight seal between the water and the rough shell beneath. Plaster is often a mix of Portland cement, limestone sand, and water.
Choosing the correct plaster finish or replacement options is vital when rebuilding a pool. Different plaster finishes affect the pool’s appearance, texture, feel, durability, and aesthetics. White plaster is smooth and classic, whereas colored plaster adds depth and matches the landscape. Exposed aggregate finishes, which use pebbles or quartz, are more durable and attractive. These finishes improve the pool’s appearance and durability (and maintenance). Tile is elegant and blends well with coping, while aggregate stone has the right balance of smoothness and texture for a durable and attractive pool surface.
WHERE TO START?
When’s the best time to replaster my pool?
If you’re looking to revitalize your pool’s appearance, replastering offers an excellent opportunity to achieve a fresh, updated look. Whether you choose to maintain your current finish or explore a new aesthetic, the transformation will be striking. JR Pool Plastering & Texas Gunite Ltd. specializes in comprehensive pool remodeling services, ensuring your vision is brought to life with expert craftsmanship and quality materials.
We recommend replastering your pool approximately every 10-15 years. The lifespan of a pool’s plaster varies from 7-18 years, depending on the selection.
