An older swimming pool can still be one of the best features of a backyard. The size may be right, the shape may fit the property perfectly, and the surrounding outdoor space may already work well for your family. But when the pool surface becomes faded, chalky, discolored, rough, or simply outdated, it can change the appearance of the entire backyard.
A professional pool coating gives homeowners an opportunity to update the visible surface of an existing fiberglass or concrete swimming pool while keeping the pool they already enjoy.
At Performance Pool Coatings, we specialize in residential pool coating and recoating for homeowners in Rockford, Illinois and surrounding Northern Illinois communities, with professional coating options for both fiberglass and concrete pools.
The swimming pool is often one of the largest visual features in a backyard. Its surface color and condition can influence how the entire outdoor space looks.
Homeowners frequently update patio furniture, decking, lighting, plants, and outdoor living areas while overlooking the pool surface itself. If that surface has lost its original appearance, even an otherwise attractive backyard can feel older.
Professional swimming pool coating focuses directly on that highly visible surface.
Changing the coating can create a cleaner, more contemporary appearance while allowing homeowners to keep the existing pool size, shape, and location.
For homeowners who already enjoy their pool but want a different look, recoating can be worth exploring.
One of the most interesting parts of selecting a new pool coating is choosing the color.
Pool surface color doesn’t only affect what you see when the pool is empty. It also influences the appearance of the water.
Lighter coating colors can contribute to a brighter appearance, while deeper colors can create richer water tones. Pool depth, sunlight, clouds, surrounding trees, and other environmental conditions can also influence how the finished water color appears.
Homeowners should consider the entire backyard when selecting a coating color, including the home’s exterior, pool deck, patio areas, outdoor furniture, and surrounding features.
At Performance Pool Coatings, coating selection can become part of creating a more cohesive look for the existing pool and surrounding backyard.
Fiberglass pools are known for their smooth surfaces, but their appearance can gradually change after years of exposure to water, sunlight, pool chemicals, and changing water chemistry.
Homeowners may eventually notice fading, chalking, discoloration, blistering, or other visible changes in the existing coating.
Professional fiberglass pool coating starts with evaluating the existing surface and preparing the fiberglass substrate for the selected coating system. Preparation matters because the new coating needs an appropriate surface for proper adhesion.
Performance Pool Coatings offers professional fiberglass coating options, including EcoFINISH polyFIBRO®, a coating system developed specifically for fiberglass applications.
For homeowners who like their existing fiberglass pool, choosing a new coating can provide an opportunity to change its appearance without changing the pool’s familiar shape or placement within the backyard.
Concrete swimming pools can also begin to show their age through changes in the existing surface.
Discoloration, staining, scaling, roughness, and coating deterioration can all affect how the pool looks and feels. A dated surface color can also make an older concrete pool appear out of step with newer decking or other backyard improvements.
Professional concrete pool coating provides another way to update that visible surface.
Concrete requires a preparation process appropriate for a cementitious substrate. The existing surface needs to be evaluated and properly prepared before the selected coating is applied.
For concrete swimming pools, Performance Pool Coatings offers EcoFINISH aquaBRIGHT™, a high-performance thermoplastic coating designed for aquatic environments.
Today’s homeowners don’t necessarily have to recreate the same pool appearance they’ve had for years.
EcoFINISH pool coatings are available in multiple colors, giving homeowners greater flexibility when deciding how they want an existing swimming pool to look.
Depending on the selected color and surrounding environment, a new coating can help create a pool appearance that feels:
EcoFINISH offers different coating systems based on the pool substrate. polyFIBRO® is designed for fiberglass applications, while aquaBRIGHT™ is designed for concrete swimming pools.
Selecting the correct system for the existing pool is an important part of professional coating application.
