Features

Provides a spray of water into the pool, typically in a fan” pattern, as opposed to a straight line of water. In hot climates, aerators will help to cool the water a little. Children love to play in and around aerators.

A new, longer-lasting interior finish that is comprised of pebbles (or other carefully selected aggregates) that are partially exposed in the process of installation, produc- ing a super-hard and beautiful finish. The manufacturers of aggregate interiors are able to provide a stunning array of colors.

Refers to the interior of a swimming pool that is 100% glass or ceramic tile, as opposed to the more popular plaster finishes or aggregate finishes.

Typically a fully enclosed, standalone structure located somewhere near a Houston swimming pool, to offer a restroom and a changing area as a minimum. A bathhouse can also have its own kitchen, living area, game room, and more. 

This is essentially a fountain (normally a few inches below the surface of the wa- ter) that provides a soft, bubbly stream of water, typically 6 to 24 inches tall. An excellent feature for very young children to play with.

A spa (sometimes also referred to as a hot tub) can be added to any style of in-ground pool, adding yet another level of beauty and excitement to the backyard. On a fiberglass or vinyl-liner pool, a spillover spa is the most likely option. (The spa is placed at the edge of the pool, with essentially a waterfall that allows any excess water to spillover directly into the swimming pool.)

This somewhat unflattering name refers to the quarter-rounding or half-rounding of the edge of the coping, so that it provides a smooth, soft, and safe edge for swimmers. The bull nose concept is also sometimes applied to steps, ledges, and other Hardscapes surfaces.

This word is a Spanish translation of cabin or hut. It originally referred to a small, lightweight living structure that was frequently set up on the beach, typically with one side open to the ocean. Nowadays, when you build a cabana near your pool, its typically more of a relaxing/party area than a living structure. Ideally, your cabana would include a bar that looks out to the pool area, perhaps a table with chairs or a couch, plus a sink, a refrigerator, etc.
