See the Options. Explore the Possibilities.
Start at Our Greenville Showroom
- Many customers prefer to begin at our showroom, where we typically have 15–30 pool shells available to explore. Seeing the shapes, sizes, seating, and features in person can help you understand what feels right for your family.
- We’ll walk through the options together, answer your questions, and connect your preferences with how you plan to use your pool.
Bring Your Ideas Into Your Backyard
- During the site visit, we evaluate how your preferred pool and layout could work on your property. We consider placement, construction access, elevations, drainage, and other conditions that may affect the project.
If a showroom visit isn’t practical, we can begin at your property and use your goals and site conditions to guide our recommendations.
Keep Your Priorities and Budget Connected
- We discuss how different layouts and site requirements may affect your investment. If another placement or approach could reduce costs while preserving the features and experience you want, we’ll bring it to your attention.
- By the end of this stage, we aim to establish a practical design direction and identify any questions that need further investigation before developing your project plan.
What is an ecoFINISH®, and why is it different?
ecoFINISH® is a thermoplastic polymer coating (plastic powder). It is applied pneumatically with a tow able air compressor and flamed as it is sprayed from an applicator gun. ecoFINISH® is applied over plaster finishes and fiberglass pools. Typically older fiberglass pools benefit the greatest but new fiberglass pools also can benefit from an ecoFINISH®. Issues such as blistering, cracking, cobalting and caulking that are common on fiberglass surfaces are repaired with speciality fiberglass surface repair techniques. Surface is sanded of all gelcoat/clear coat, an Epoxy bond coat is applied, and then the surface is shot with the thermoplastic polymer coating.
Could I just paint the surface instead?
Yes, painting a pool correctly involves similar surface preparation as the ecoFINISH® and depending on paint selected the cost could be less. The paint color is typically white or blue, you normally have to repaint with the same type of paint within a few years and still the chance for blistering, chipping, peeling, and fading can begin to appear in as little as six months. The ecoFINISH® will last longer and the surface has a more distinct color spectrum than standard paint.
Can ecoFINISH® be coated?
Yes, ecoFINISH® surface can be recoated. There are a number reason you would need to recoat. One unique characteristic of the ecoFINISH® surface is the ability to heat new powder on top of old. Surface preparation only involves cleaning and drying prior to shooting. If a new surface repair is required, this can be done and the area blended to match.
