swimming pool finishes

Once the thinset dries, the tiles may be grouted. Tile installation is simple and can be done by anyone. However, tiles cannot be installed in pools unless the plaster substrate is in good condition.

Pebble-plaster aggregates such as Pebble Tec and Pebble Sheen can be quite expensive, but they provide a striking appearance as well as a smooth river rock-like underfoot. Pebble mixtures are also the most stain- and chemical-resistant plaster techniques.

Usually made of porcelain, stone, or glass, tile is also a popular choice. You can even mix the types of tile within your pool.
