re: Pool Finishes (quartz vs pebbletec) and Decking

had pool installed last year. We went with quartz due to the builder offering it for the same price as plaster. In order of surface longevity, it is plaster, quartz, then pebbletec. After reading a lot about how pebbletec is "rough", Im glad I went with the quartz. It has a smooth surface with a touch of grit to it. Id say it is much smoother than pebbletec. You can also get quartz in various colors as well.

We also have the Cool Deck coating and enjoy it. Even in 100 degree temps, at most it only gets warm.
