Once excavation is complete, steel rebar is used to create the skeleton that it used to support the shell. This is followed by electrical and plumbing.
The shell of a pool is made of concrete that is either applied as shotcrete or gunite. Shotcrete is premixed concrete that is shot from a hose to create the pool shell while gunite is a dry mix that combines with water at the nozzle of the hose as its being sprayed. Once cured, Tile and coping are ready to be installed.
Pool finish is installed during the final stages of the pool construction process. Pool finish has evolved over the years from paint and marcite to the pre-blended custom materials that we have today. These products include custom color preblended Quartz, Pebble, and Marble finishes.

A pool finish determines the color and feel of your pool but also improves the pool’s aesthetics. That’s why we source our own quality raw materials to process and produce a range of proprietary pre-blended products designed to create long-lasting flawless finishes.
From quartz to polished, choosing a finish made with quality materials like any of our proprietary pre-blended products will increase the strength and durability of your pool-providing you with years of reliable performances in a well-made and well-maintained pool.
The color of the background die in your finish is the number one determining factor for your pool’s water color. White, blue, black or gray finishes will create blue waters while green, brown or tan finishes will create green waters.
From traditional plaster to newer polished aggregate, each type of pool finish offers a variety of benefits that should be carefully considered with your pool builder.
Plaster is a simple mixture of water, Portland cement and either marble dust or silica sand. While the most inexpensive option, plaster also has the shortest lifespan.
Quartz combines enriched white Portland cement and colorful, color-coated quartz aggregates, which can be used in all types of pools from residential to commercial.
This blend of pebbles and other aggregates uses a variety of application methods to expose the texture of the pebbles to offer more traction.
Polished finishes consist of crushed marble and colorful marble aggregates that offers a highly decorative, silky smooth, yet non-slip, finish that’s highly sought after for its luxurious look and feel.
Before deciding on a finish, it’s also important to consider the desired finish color, pool depth, sun exposure, water movement and the surrounding environment.
