I'm getting quotes for renovating my pool, and I'm struggling with the plaster decision. My current pool is plain white plaster, and when my daughter and her friends spend a couple hours in the pool, the bottom of their feet get scratched up & bloody. I like the idea of the longevity of QuartzScapes compared to plain plaster, but I'm concerned about how rough it is. Can anyone speak from experience on how rough/smooth QuartzScapes is?
NPT's website says their PolishedScapes finish is smoother than QuartzScapes, so I'll go with PolishedScapes if I have to, but I want to make sure it's worth the few thousand dollars more I assume that will cost me compared to QuartzScapes.
 
Nothing will be as smooth as your original type of plaster when it was first applied, with time it looses that smoothness. Exposed aggregate plasters have come a long way and the aggregates are getting smaller in size and that helps with smoothness of the pool finish.
PolishedScapes is smoother than QuartzScape.
Quality of the crews who are doing the final trowels have a large part to do with its overall finished smoothness and is something that should be looked into as much as size of product.
