The key characteristics of our products are aesthetic brilliance, ease of installation and durability. The sparkling visual beauty of our pool interiors and the stunningly vibrant water colours they create are unrivalled in the marketplace. 

Aalborg White Cement plays a key role in this regard, particularly compared with other cements which are typically greener or greyer. The absolute pure whiteness of the cement colour allows for such sought-after surface and water colours. We see it as our only viable option to get the results we want from our products.

The most common application of our product are domestic swimming pools. In this regard our products have been used in tens of thousands of backyard pools. 

In recent years we have been honoured to be involved in more and more impressive commercial applications. These include sprawling resort masterpieces, boutique hotel pools, swim schools, water parks, wave pools, council pools and public water features. 

Perhaps our favourite is the awe-inspiring Outrigger pool at Sigatoka, Fiji – which was finished in our colour “Noosa”.

We are very satisfied with the aesthetic appearance of the white cement and believe it needs absolutely no improvement in that regard. If there is a way it could be tailored to our needs in an application sense it would be with regards to how it sets in tropical environments.
