Concrete Swimming Pools
Are your looking to re-plaster your pool so it will last another 10 – 15 years? Then we can help. The key to all coatings is preparation.
Surface preparation is the most important phase in the swimming pool resurfacing process. A thorough surface prep assures good adhesion. Cheap shortcuts lead to problems. All Pool Renovations use what is called the “axe-chipping method” on all re-plastering preps to provide the strongest mechanical bond. “Bondcoats” or sandblasting alone cannot provide the same level of adhesion to the pool shell.
An article in the Pool & Spa Service Industry News says the “axe chipping method” is the recommended method because it “creates a very rough jagged irregular surface without damaging the integrity of the structure of the pool. It removes loose plaster and allows the new plaster to bond mechanically to the surface.” In addition, all loose and hollow plaster is removed.
And for good reason. 3M created Colorquartz Crystals by melding the strength of nature with the power of technology. Quartz, one of nature’s hardest minerals, is bonded with an exterior ceramic coating. This coating – which contains inorganic pigments – gives each Colorquartz Crystal its brilliant color and durability.
The color resists bleeding or fading, even when exposed to harsh sunlight, strong pool chemicals, and acid washings. The durable crystals, dispersed throughout your pool finish, withstand chemical wear and mechanical abrasion.
