Types of Paint

The advantages of painting you pool or spa are:

  • Decorative
  • Seamless
  • Easy to clean
  • Long lasting

Compared to Tiles; paint offers a seamless finish, no tile joints to get dirty, no tiles to fall off.

Compared to an Aggregate finish (which cannot be refurbished); paint has no rough surfaces to scratch the skin, and a smooth finish for easy cleaning.

When selecting your pool paint there are two types.

Single pack, such as Chlorinated Rubber and two pack Epoxy.
