Making sure that your hotel swimming pool looks great is important in attracting guests and keeping them happy. Choosing to resurface your swimming pool is a good idea if you notice peeling plaster, stains, or rough texture. These problems will only get worse over time, and they can lead to a variety of issues. Reaching out to a local swimming pool contractor for refinishing the surface and making design changes is a great way to stay proactive and maximize the visual appeal of your hotel pool.
Here are a few of the most popular swimming pool design and surface refinishing options available:
Plaster Finish
Choosing a plaster finish is always a favorite choice due to it being the least expensive option. A plaster finish gives you the flexibility to choose from a variety of colors instead of only being limited to white. The color of the plaster makes a big impact on the appearance of the water, as dark plaster results in deeper blue waters, and lighter colors produce a sparkling blue that’s similar to tropical waters. The main downside of using a plaster finish is that it’s not as durable as other options, as it will usually last around ten years before it needs a replacement. You will also need to provide extra care in maintaining chemical balance due to its porous nature.
Fiberglass Finish
A fiberglass finish is more costly than plaster, but it’s also more durable. Fiberglass pools also require fewer chemicals for maintaining the proper water balance compared to a plaster finish. The average lifespan of a fiberglass swimming pool is up to 25 years or longer. Fiberglass swimming pools are always smooth on the feet and skin, but they can be slippery compared to other finishes. Working with an experienced swimming pool contractor is especially important for a fiberglass swimming pool to ensure it’s properly supported and everything is working at an optimal level.
Tile Finish
Selecting a tile finish gives you the flexibility to choose from an endless amount of colors, styles, and design options. These countless design choices are especially effective in creating a unique swimming pool for your hotel. Tile finish swimming pools are highly durable and are much easier to clean and maintain compared to other types of finishes. Mosaic tile pools are very popular for many swimming pools, while stone tiles are another favorite choice that provides a more natural appearance. A swimming pool contractor will help you choose the best design to meet your needs.
Aggregate Finish
Using an aggregate finish gives your hotel swimming pool a unique appearance. These are also known as a “pebble pool” due to the ceramic-coated stone within the plaster. You can always choose from numerous color options. Another benefit of an aggregate finish is that it requires minimal maintenance and its non-slip surface reduces the chance of accidents. An aggregate finish can often last for decades with proper maintenance and care. The only drawback of an aggregate finish is that it costs more than a plaster finish, but it makes for a beautiful appearance.
