Watercolors

Many reliable and beautiful pool finishes are available to today's pool owners. From the standard white plaster to the rainbow of multi-colored pebble finishes, the choices can be exciting and daunting when deciding which to choose.

The coping of your pool is a cap that tops the wall of the pool shell and joins the pool with the deck. Different coping types create different looks. Traditional coping in years past has been pre-cast concrete, oftentimes with a bull-nose edge, and is called cantilevered coping. Other materials include brick and stone.

The waterline tile in your serves as a barrier against "bathtub ring" in your pool. Oils and other sticky residue eventually float to the surface of the pool, and without waterline tile, would penetrate the porous plaster material and quickly degenerate it. The non-porous surface of ceramic and glass tile collects the residue, protecting the plaster surface, and is easily cleaned.
