POOL FINISH
The first step in the construction process is an initial meeting
between the client and one of our trained design technicians.
All of our pools are designed specifically for each individual
customer.Plans from architects or landscapers are also welcome.
The technician will then take a detailed survey of the proposed
area to include home and lot dimensions, positioning, building
setbacks, location of utilities, and accessibility to the construction
site. Within a few days, our design technician will have a fully
prepared plan and proposed construction cost for the pool
organized for you to review.
We shall acquire the permit for the construction
of the pool and decking.Permits for electric and
gas utility hook-ups. Any supplementary permits,
such as for a poolside cabana or easement
variances will be the owner or general
contractor’s responsibility. All plans must comply
with local and state building codes.
When the plans have been approved by you or your
authorized representative and all necessary permits
have been obtained,the construction process may
begin. Our representative will go over the construction
stages with you and help to set the pool elevation.
Next, the form boards are set with great care to ensure
the pool is in the exact location required.
We generally use small, skid-
steer front end loaders in order
to precisely trim back the pool
walls and to provide added
maneuverability within the
pool and around the
construction site
The pool shell is reinforced with steel bar,
placed horizontally and vertically.
Rough plumbing, or "stub out" is
done immediately following steel
installation. This entails the
installation of main
drains,skimmers, light niches,return
line "stubs" and pre-plumbing of
raised spas.
The pool floor consists of concrete with a compressive
strength of 4000 psi, and is a minimum thickness
of six inches. The walls of the pool consist of a mixture
of sand and cement (gunite) that is applied through a
hose with highly pressurized air to achieve a compressive
strength of 4000 psi. Because of its superior structural
strength.
After the completion of the gunite
phase, you will be asked to choose a
decorative tile for the pool.
The plumbing for each pool is
designed specifically to givE
it the best circulation and
filtration for crystal clear water
and ease of maintenance.
An experienced installer will come to
the site and plumb in all of the
filtration equipment for the pool,
including water feature pumps and
other optional equipment.
By this point, electrical conduits for pool lights and for
pool equipment power should be run.The breaker box
at the location of the pool equipment should be
installed and ready for the equipment to be set.Gas
lines to the pool heater or heaters should also be run to
the equipment location.These operations should be
handled by a licensed electrician/utility specialist
The pool deck should reflect the overall
theme for the project,including color,
pattern and type. Typically, the deck at
the pool edge is shaped using a rounded
cantilever foam form for comfort and
safety. Pool coping such as brick and
stone are also available to compliment
the other materials.
At this point, the project is nearing
completion.We will now remove all
extraneous construction materials and
waste from the construction site and
prepare the pool interior to be finished.
The pool interior is coated with your choice of
materials, from a standard white finish, or one of
the many Pebble Tec finish,or one of the many
Diamond-Brite brand coatings. Different finishes
render different effects and moods upon the
pool water and therefore the overall appearance
of the backyard area. When the coating is
finished, we begin filling the pool with water.
This should be the final stage of construction.
Process…
10. This system provides the waterproofing of swimming pools or water tanks, both external and internal, through
the use of Acriflex Winter, two-component elastic, liquid waterproofing membrane, used in combination with
Safety Joint Roll, an elastic band for the treatment of critical areas such as horizontal and vertical joints and
angles, and Polites, a reinforcement fiberglass mesh characterized by the presence of special anti-floating wings.
As finishing for the waterproofing layer thus obtained it is used the epoxy coating Epokoat Swimming, a liquid
finishing alternative to the common tiles or mosaics, to be applied directly onto the waterproofing layer.

11. • WOODEN FLOORING
• CONCRETE FLOORING
• EXPOSED AGGREGATE FLORING
• TILES
•Exposed aggregates help convert pool deck surfaces from plain finishes to a component of
outdoor landscaping, including rocks, fountains, lagoons, and waterfalls, all without, stamping
or etching. The rock (aggregate) in the concrete mix is exposed by either water pressure,
chemical application, or by sandblasting
•The aggregate can be purchased from a material yard for “seeding” in
the fresh concrete mix. Or a ready mix supplier
may have colorful aggregates suitable for seeding
or poured integral in the mix and then exposed by
sandblasting. A variety of looks can be achieved b
y exposing the aggregate. Aggregates vary widely
from region to region, so the look can be different
depending on what part of the country you live in.
Another factor that will determine how the
finished driveway looks is the amount of aggregate
exposure, which can vary from light to heavy.
CONCRETE POOL DECKS
• One of the most important consideration for
any pool deck is the type of material to use.
• The material you ultimately choose may
depend largely on where the deck is being
built in terms of geographical location, what
kind and how much traffic the pool deck will
be subject to and how much care and
upkeep the owner wishes to devote to the
deck.
• Deck areas surrounding a pool can run the
gamut from poured in place concrete, broom
finish concrete, exposed aggregate, tile, to
brick pavers or natural stone masonry.
• Different materials have their own strengths
and weaknesses, and varying costs. For
example, flagstone, sometimes known as
“bluestone,” offers a sleek and traditional
look. However, very sunny regions will often
heat flagstone to uncomfortable levels,
particularly for young children.
• While many different colors and patterns
are available with brick decks, brick, too,
can be a hot, sometimes slippery surface.
Decorative concrete pool decks are an ideal
answer
Stamped concrete is concrete that is patterned to
resemble whatever you want it to — brick, slate,
flagstone, stone, tile- and even wood. It is a great way to
beautify pool decks. Due to the wide array of patterns
and colors available, and the cost of stamped concrete in
relation to the materials it is a substitute for, the choice
of stamped concrete is becoming more popular
“The benefits of concrete are many. It can provide
an extremely durable surface, as compared to a
wooden deck or even stone. With the new
techniques for stamping and applying decorative
concrete, any look can be created at a fraction of
the cost. Concrete today is extremely flexible in its
application.” — Silvano Salvatici, Sublime Concrete

The interior finish of a pool can transcend its design to a whole new level of style and
grace. There are many types of pool finishes to choose from, including plaster, tile, and
aggregate finishes, and each type comes in an array of materials, colors, and
textures—from classic white plaster, to sparkling iridescent glass tiles to a
kaleidoscopic blend of river pebbles or glass beads.
Whether you’re building a new inground pool or starting a pool renovation project,
the pool finish you choose will have a significant impact on your pool’s final design
aesthetic. Explore the different pool finish options below to find out which options will
best suit your needs and design aspirations.
PLASTER FINISHES
Plaster is the oldest and most common pool surface finish. It is a
simple mixture of water, Portland cement, and either marble dust
or silica sand.
Traditional white plaster (or marcite) gives pools a smooth, classic
appearance and remains a popular choice despite the range of
pool finishes that have emerged over the years. White plaster is
the most inexpensive pool finish option and typically lasts five to
seven years before any signs of etching or chipping appear.

inside of the pool, creating a brilliant, light blue glow. Krisco

AGGREGATE FINISHES
Aggregate pool finishes are the new generation of plaster pool surfaces. They
consist of white or colored plaster mixed with small pieces of quartz, granite,
river stones, or glass beads. Aggregates come in two forms: polished and
exposed.
Aggregate finishes are becoming more popular and desirable because they
provide a luxurious pool surface that is harder and more resistant to chemicals
and staining than plaster alone. They also offer an array of beautiful colors and
textures and can be custom blended to create a truly one-of-a-kind pool look.

brilliant aqua blue interior. Essig Pools; designed by Michele Sherman
POLISHED AGGREGATES
Polished aggregate finishes contain finely crushed colored stones, such as quartz, granite, or
marble. After the aggregate finish is hand applied with a trowel to the pool shell, it is polished to
bring out the stone’s luster and create a smooth surface. The flecks of colored quartz or granite
give the pool finish a decorative sheen and extend the life of the plaster to 12 to 20 years. Polished
aggregate finishes have a timeless beauty that works well with classic pool designs.
