A surfacing material utilized in swimming pools, this composition incorporates finely ground quartz aggregate mixed with a cementitious binder and infused with a blue hue reminiscent of the clarity of the renowned alpine lake. This specialized application provides a durable and aesthetically pleasing interior for in-ground pools, often preferred for its vibrant color and textured surface.
The adoption of such materials enhances the visual appeal of aquatic environments, simulating natural bodies of water while offering increased resistance to staining and wear compared to traditional plaster finishes. The speckled appearance inherent in the quartz aggregate contributes to a non-slip surface, improving safety. Historically, aggregate finishes have been employed to improve longevity and visual texture within pool construction.
