Our CL Industriesrsquo staff is always intrigued by the pools that our industryrsquos professionals put in their own back yards Kevin Carroll the owner of Coastal Luxury Outdoors found that the ldquoHydrazzo Clas-sico - Oceana Blurdquo pool finish compliments his out-door lifestyle best He strategically chose Oceana Blu in the pool to match his familyrsquos outdoor decor (from outdoor umbrellas to the blue embroidery on the pillows) The finish makes for an aesthetically beautiful oceanic blue water color and the finish also seems to enhance the calm oasis feeling His wife and her friends have given their seal of approval Thatrsquos really all that matters right

In our own experience we have noticed that women seem to gravitate towards the smooth feel and timeless beauty that Hydrazzo and Hydrazzo Classico offer The Hydrazzo line is a polished marble product so the smoothness on your skin creates a heightened relaxation when you first step into the pool The ladies in the ldquoWomanrsquos Oasisrdquo short film felt right at home enjoying a girlrsquos day by the pool We filmed most of the action in slow motion to further enhance the dreaminess of the Womanrsquos Oasis

pool in his region ldquoItrsquos so popular because of its value and

Whether yoursquore looking for traditional elegance contemporary

flair or some combination of the two nothing captivates the

Ebony Pool

Midwest USA

This elegant pool was created to

enjoy during the warmer months in

the Midwest This swimming pool

and backyard landscaping are so well

constructed and maintained that

you canrsquot help be impressed by itrsquos

symmetrical design The KrystalKretereg

Ebony finish creates a dark sun bench

that stands out from the rest of the

ivory white home The deep end of the

pool is also plastered with the Ebony

finish and the warmer hues of blue

water make it much more inviting

for everyone to dive in

strict quality control program that CL Industries has created

and maintained over the years The ldquoNon-Fading Color Fast

Technologyrdquo and lasting attractiveness have kept builders and

applicators requesting this product year after year

Our pre-blended KrystalKretereg product is one of the only

pre-blended offerings available on the market We believe that

working with a pre-blended product (all ingredients in a ready

to mix bag) is imperative to achieve the greatest and most

enduring finish For new construction renovation or just to

show off KrystalKretereg sets the bar competition canrsquot reach

Pool of Innovation with John Garner Pools

Our Fall Pool of Innovation comes to us from the

great folks at John Garner Pools in Jacksonville

FL John Garner Pools is a family owned and

operated company that has been in business for

over 30 years The company is headed up by John

Garner Sr who recently completed his third year as

President of the Northeast Chapter of the Florida

Swimming Pool Association (also serves on the

Executive Committee of the FSPA) John Sr started

building and designing pools 44 years ago and his

son John Jr is following in his fatherrsquos footsteps

They pride themselves on combining function and

artistry to create the ultimate backyard paradise for

their customers

John Garner Pools started using CL Industries

finishes exclusively 20 years ago We sat down

with John Garner Sr recently to get his take

on the design process and gain some insight

on this incredible newly constructed pool The

homeowners had a grand vision and the finished

product isnrsquot your typical backyard pool

QampAWhat do you like most about designingbuilding pools

Where do you get your inspiration from in the design process

Where does the interior finish of the pool come into the equation

How important are water color and texture in the design process

What do you like most about the CL Industriesrsquo product lines

We love working with homeowners to develop their dreams

Inspiration comes from many places the landscape we are working with plays a big part but ultimately the customerrsquos visions and plans for the use of their pool

As the final step in the actual construction process the interior finish is the most visual It can make or break a project When meeting with a client to choose their tile and deck material we coordinate those choices with wide variety of colors available from CL Industries

Most customers have an idea of what color they want their water to be ndash deep blue lagoon look very light blue etc The color of the interior brings it all together It has to flow visually and not draw your eye to only 1 element of the entire project

The quality of product authorized installers warranty large variety of plaster products and textures

We recently sat down with owner John Garner Sr to get some insight into

the design process and his passion to set new standards of excellence

Explain the importance of the applicator in the pool construction process

How have the homeowners reacted to the finish product

For night time what kind of lighting did you use

What physical design elements did you incorporate to tie everything together in regard to water color

What finish did they select

In terms of water color what did the homeowner want and why

The entire CL Industriesrsquo team would like to thank John and John Garner Pools

for their submission and patronage

As a luxury custom pool builder it is imperative that you have a good relationship with your applicator and that you have the level of trust needed for completing your projects As mentioned the plaster can make or break the entire project

The homeowner is extremely pleased with the entire backyard paradise that has been created

who visited the booth complimented us on the

redesign

Irsquove turned around emergency shipments within hours of the order request so the homeowner and builder stay on schedule and remain happy

We had one homeowner up in Pennsylvania and he said no one else would help him because he only needed one bag of plaster to repair his pool He called me in Orlando directly and we took care

of him The customer said ldquoI really appreciate you going out of your way to personally ship one bag all the way across the country I canrsquot thank you enoughrdquo

Pool of Innovation with John Garner Pools

Our Fall Pool of Innovation comes to us from the

great folks at John Garner Pools in Jacksonville

FL John Garner Pools is a family owned and

operated company that has been in business for

over 30 years The company is headed up by John

Garner Sr who recently completed his third year as

President of the Northeast Chapter of the Florida

Swimming Pool Association (also serves on the

Executive Committee of the FSPA) John Sr started

building and designing pools 44 years ago and his

son John Jr is following in his fatherrsquos footsteps

They pride themselves on combining function and

artistry to create the ultimate backyard paradise for

their customers

John Garner Pools started using CL Industries

finishes exclusively 20 years ago We sat down

with John Garner Sr recently to get his take

on the design process and gain some insight

on this incredible newly constructed pool The

homeowners had a grand vision and the finished

product isnrsquot your typical backyard pool

QampAWhat do you like most about designingbuilding pools

Where do you get your inspiration from in the design process

Where does the interior finish of the pool come into the equation

How important are water color and texture in the design process

What do you like most about the CL Industriesrsquo product lines

We love working with homeowners to develop their dreams

Inspiration comes from many places the landscape we are working with plays a big part but ultimately the customerrsquos visions and plans for the use of their pool

As the final step in the actual construction process the interior finish is the most visual It can make or break a project When meeting with a client to choose their tile and deck material we coordinate those choices with wide variety of colors available from CL Industries

Most customers have an idea of what color they want their water to be ndash deep blue lagoon look very light blue etc The color of the interior brings it all together It has to flow visually and not draw your eye to only 1 element of the entire project

The quality of product authorized installers warranty large variety of plaster products and textures

We recently sat down with owner John Garner Sr to get some insight into

the design process and his passion to set new standards of excellence

Explain the importance of the applicator in the pool construction process

How have the homeowners reacted to the finish product

For night time what kind of lighting did you use

What physical design elements did you incorporate to tie everything together in regard to water color

What finish did they select

In terms of water color what did the homeowner want and why

The entire CL Industriesrsquo team would like to thank John and John Garner Pools

for their submission and patronage

As a luxury custom pool builder it is imperative that you have a good relationship with your applicator and that you have the level of trust needed for completing your projects As mentioned the plaster can make or break the entire project

The homeowner is extremely pleased with the entire backyard paradise that has been created
