This term refers to a specific formulation and color of a quartz aggregate finish commonly used in swimming pool construction. It is a blend of natural quartz, cement, and pigment, resulting in a durable and aesthetically pleasing surface. Applied as a plaster-like coating, it offers a textured alternative to traditional pool finishes. The “marlin blue” component designates a particular shade within this product line, characterized by its vibrant, aquatic hue reminiscent of deep ocean waters.
The significance of this particular finish lies in its longevity, resistance to staining, and slip-resistant properties, contributing to enhanced pool safety and reduced maintenance. Historically, such aggregate finishes have evolved from simpler plaster applications, offering improved durability and a wider range of customizable colors. This evolution reflects a growing demand for visually appealing and functionally superior pool environments.
