Selecting The Ideal Pool Plaster Colors

By Ina Hunt


Pool plastering can be defined as the process of fitting a finishing surface. Due to the wide variety available choosing the ideal pool plaster colors to produce the best hue can be cumbersome. Before making a decision talk to a landscape and interior designer or the pool boy and get their views.This prevents you from making wrong decisions.There are many factors that can affect the decision you make and it is critical you stay informed about them.

Personal taste and preferences is the first consideration. Other factors to consider include what style you want to achieve, this is the overall effect. Affordability is in terms of the purchase power. Durability as an option should be considered. Functionality, whether it is more of a decorative feature or is going to be used more for swimming.

Most people oddly consider the landscape of their vicinity.It should work towards enhancing the interior decor of your home, and bring out the required ambiance. Geographical location of your home plays a vital role too. For hot or warm regions it is advisable to have a dark spa as it tends to cool temperatures. For cooler areas light colors tend to indulge warm and thus are recommended.

Different spas seem to have different colors. One thing is common though, they bring back the summer feeling to a home.Some are blue, others green, gray or even black. The tint or shade is affected by the amount of light reflected to the water and the time of day. The surface can be smooth or hard or range in between these two. The standard recommended depth is five feet, it brings out the needed hue best.

They range from the pebble surfaces to the white plaster surface. The classic white plaster is the most economic choice and is the longest in existence. Although there are more plaster forms in the market it remains a favorite for many. It contains a smooth finish and adds the overall effect of light blue oceanic view to your pool. A key demerit is that it tends to change in appearance with time due to shading and scaling if not well maintained. Silicon shied can be added to the plaster surface to increase its durability.

More durable than the white surface is the colored quartz surface.They are more stylish with a series of color combinations like blues, greens, grays and black to choose from. A major concern is that they tend to be affected by water chemicals and therefore change their appearance overtime. They are also a little bit expensive.

The best surface is probably the pebble technology.It outlives the rest and rarely changes its form from chemical reactions as the materials used are chemically inert.It also provides a range of colors and has the most admired natural color combination.It provides a rougher surface.Some non pebble surfaces include the Premix Marbletite Marquis made from Pewter and charcoal.

The hue can enhance a mood. Dark colors are more settled and refined, they provide the right ambiance for evening parties and other ceremonies. Light water colors provide a tropical warm feeling and are great for homes with kids. They are easier to clean and are the best for areas with snakes, frogs and salamanders. Dark grays create shades of blue. White produces light blue waters. Sandy hues normally create dark green colors on the water.
