Swimming pool construction materials and swimming pool finishes “survive” in different ways depending on the region in which you live. Will your pool finish survive an Arizona summer? The answer is, according to the swimming pool contractors at SwimRight Pool Service and Repair, it can if you take care of it properly.
There are so many swimming pool finishes from which to choose that it can be overwhelming. Knowing which ones will make it through an Arizona summer and its relentless heat will help you protect your investment for decades to come.
Will your pool finish survive an Arizona summer?
Here are options from which to choose:
- Plaster. This can be a brilliant white or colored various hues. Plaster is the most susceptible to the environment because it is a softer finish than some of the other alternatives. If you opt for plaster, you may want to talk wth us about combining it with an additive to make the plaster stronger and to last longer. You can add crushed quartz or even pebbles to strengthen the plaster.
- Tiles. Swimming pool tiles are ideal because of their durability and ease of maintenance. They resist dirt and discoloration. They are also resistant to improperly balanced chemicals and harsh weather — be it heat or snow and ice. Tiles are also resistant to cracking and fading and are available in myriad colors and patterns.
- Using a vinyl liner for your pool finish is ideal for areas prone to deep freezes. The panels that support the vinyl liner will bend and flex and constrict and expand with the weather.
Regardless of the pool finish you decide upon you will need to assure the pool water is properly maintained and that the chemicals are properly balanced — improper maintenance and bad chemistry can discolor or harm even the strongest of pool finishes.
