We can Transform Your Plaster Pool
with Advanced-Glass™
Plaster has been one of the most common pool surfaces for decades, but even a well-maintained plaster pool eventually begins to show its age. Staining, roughness, cracking, and recurring maintenance can make an aging pool increasingly difficult to maintain. Advanced Glass™ provides a durable fiberglass finish that can be applied directly over properly prepared plaster, giving your existing pool a smoother, more durable surface.
An Estimated 70% of SoCal Pools have a Cement-Based Surface
Plaster remains the most common pool surface because it’s affordable, familiar, and has been used for decades—but the most common option isn’t necessarily the best long-term solution.
Common Plaster Problems:
Cracking & Surface Damage
Plaster is a cement-based finish with limited flexibility. Ground movement and normal settling can lead to cracks, chips, and other surface damage.
Rough, Uncomfortable Texture
Over time, improper water chemistry, etching, mineral buildup, and natural deterioration can leave plaster feeling rough, gritty, or uncomfortable underfoot.
Staining & Discoloration
Plaster can develop stains, scaling, and discoloration from metals, minerals, algae, debris, and water chemistry issues—especially as the finish ages.
Limited Lifespan & High Maintenance
Plaster eventually wears down and requires resurfacing, while maintaining a new plaster finish also involves careful water chemistry and a demanding startup process. New plaster requires a 28-day startup period with frequent testing, chemical adjustments, and brushing.
Dealing with roughness, stains, cracks, and ongoing maintenance can make an aging plaster pool frustrating to own. Advanced Pool Coatings helps homeowners move past these recurring problems with a durable fiberglass finish that makes the pool easier to maintain and enjoy.
Our Solution
Plaster remains the most common pool surface because it’s affordable, familiar, and has been used for decades—but the most common option isn’t necessarily the best long-term solution.
Built to Flex
Fiberglass is significantly more flexible than cement-based surfaces like plaster, allowing the finish to better accommodate normal ground movement. If damage does occur, fiberglass can often be patched without removing the entire finish.
A Smoother, More Comfortable Surface
Advanced Glass™ creates a smooth fiberglass surface that is comfortable underfoot and easier for the whole family to enjoy. No rough aggregate or worn plaster texture means a more comfortable swimming experience.
Non-Porous & Easier to Clean
Fiberglass is non-porous, giving stains and algae fewer places to take hold. The smooth surface is easy to brush and clean, reducing the need for aggressive scrubbing or frequent acid washing.
Longer Lasting, Lower Maintenance
Advanced Glass™ is designed to provide approximately 25–30 years of residential service—significantly longer than typical plaster. Its smooth, non-porous surface also makes routine maintenance easier and more forgiving of normal water-chemistry fluctuations.
With Advanced Glass™, you can leave behind many of the common frustrations of an aging plaster pool and enjoy a surface designed for easier maintenance, greater comfort, and years of reliable performance.
