Plaster, in comparison, provides limited color options and fades easily over time. An ongoing program of accelerated testing exposes Colorquartz aggregate to high levels of ultraviolet light and chemicals. In addition, controlled, long-term exposure studies are combined with monitoring of actual installations to ensure that Colorquartz aggregate continues to provide the highest standard of color retention in the industry. It has been used by pool builders for the past decade. No, actually the appearance is enhanced with time.
More granule exposure means added richness in color.
Your pool will appear more colorful over time. The distinctive, dimensional texture is characterized by a speckled pattern of brilliantly colored quartz granules. Each granule emulates a tiny prism that refracts light, which is compounded by the pool water's natural tendency to reflect and magnify light. The result is deep color showing all the way to the bottom of the pool, combined with shimmering water that captures the same richness of color.
