This term refers to a specific finish and coloration frequently applied to pool interiors. It involves a blend of polymer-modified cement, graded aggregates, and, crucially, colored quartz crystals. This combination results in a durable and aesthetically pleasing surface within a swimming pool. The “sky blue” designation indicates the intended hue, aiming to replicate the visual appeal of a clear, sunlit sky reflected in the water.
The selection of this particular finish is driven by several factors. The quartz aggregate contributes to the longevity and resistance to staining of the pool surface. The embedded crystals also scatter light, creating a shimmering effect in the water. Historically, lighter colors, like the aforementioned hue, have been preferred in warmer climates as they tend to absorb less heat than darker shades, leading to a more comfortable swimming environment. Furthermore, this color often complements the surrounding landscape and architectural design.
