Pebble Finishes Make Beautiful Commercial Pools
The pool design “wow factor” is the appearance of its finish. When guests walk into the pool area and see the sun sparkling on richly colored water, they know they are staying somewhere special.
Whether it serves as the central gathering place for family and friends on vacation, or a tranquil oasis for those seeking restorative waters, a beautiful, well-designed pool is a memorable showpiece for any resort or spa. While the shape of the pool and the pool’s setting are key aspects of successful commercial pool design, the pool finish is just as important. Choosing a commercial pool finish that unites beauty, comfort and durability will impress guests and last for decades, making the pool a great long-term investment for a commercial property.
Pebble Finishes Make Beautiful Commercial Pools
The pool design “wow factor” is the appearance of its finish. When guests walk into the pool area and see the sun sparkling on richly colored water, they know they are staying somewhere special.
In commercial pebble pool finishes, colorful pebbles are blended together in designs that enhance or shift water color, creating a unique appearance. It is also possible to combine the pebbles with additional materials, such as glass beads or seashells, to add extra sparkle and interest. Well-designed pebble pool finishes, like those offered by PebbleTec, provide the natural appearance of varying water color at different pool depths. For example, our Cielo Blue gives a pool’s sun shelf a sandy appearance and transitions into inviting blues at deeper depths.
Resort guests also want a comfortable pool, especially for children and others with sensitive skin. No one wants rough textures under their feet, hands or knees when they’re trying to have fun. PebbleTec’s commercial pool finishes range from slightly textured to extraordinarily smooth, but all are designed for comfort. Of course, getting the right appearance and texture depends on the quality of materials, as we explain below.
Beyond Beauty: Quality and Durability in Commercial Pool Construction
While customers are primarily interested in the aesthetics and texture of a pool, commercial pool owners know that there are many other “behind the scenes” considerations: the quality of materials, how the pool finish will be installed, and how it will hold up over time. Not only do these factors affect beauty and comfort, but they also determine whether commercial pebble pools are a good financial investment. Commercial pool owners also want a pool finish backed by an excellent warranty from a company with a reputation for standing behind that warranty with integrity.
Material quality is crucial in creating and maintaining beautiful commercial pebble pools. If the pebble aggregate contains metal particles, then the finish will eventually rust and become less attractive.
This is where choosing the right pebble finish supplier makes all the difference. The pebbles used in PebbleTec finishes are rigorously screened multiple times during the manufacturing process to eliminate impurities and metals. We hold to a tight spec on pebble size and shape, screening both at the beginning of production and throughout the production process. We also help ensure a quality and uniform finish appearance by using only top-quality, fade-resistant pigments.
Beginning with quality materials is only the first step. The knowledge and experience of the pool finish installer is also key. One advantage of choosing PebbleTec for commercial pool construction is that we work only with specially vetted and certified installers.
Our quality assurance team also supports these installers by providing service over the phone and in person (over 25,000 hours a year!), coaching on job sites and ensuring that installers follow our installation guidelines.
While this requires extra effort on PebbleTec’s part, it ensures that our customers receive the premium pebble finish they expect and demonstrates how we stand behind our products. After installation, our excellent support team remains available to help our customers with any questions or concerns.
Material quality and proper installation are the components that have helped give PebbleTec our reputation for pool finishes that last for decades. With proper maintenance and pool chemistry, all PebbleTec finishes offer superior durability. This is especially important for commercial pools that will be in constant use. Our commercial pebble pool finishes are also fortified with additives for extra strength. Their durability is part of what makes PebbleTec finishes a smart investment. Our customers choose us because they want pools their guests will love and that will hold up for years and years.
