The Des Moines INTER-GLASS pool surfacing system from Mid-America Pool Renovation is our signature composite interior finish—engineered to outperform plaster, tile, and paint. Designed specifically for Iowa’s demanding climate, INTER-GLASS® delivers a smooth, low-maintenance surface that stays strong through scorching summers, deep freezes, and years of regular use.
From residential pools in Des Moines to commercial and municipal facilities across central Iowa, INTER-GLASS® has earned its reputation for beauty, strength, and long-term reliability.
At its core, INTER-GLASS® is a multi-layer composite coating system that bonds chemically and mechanically to your existing pool shell. The result is a seamless, non-porous surface that resists cracking, chipping, fading, and staining—no matter what Des Moines’ seasons bring.
Each layer is applied with precision to create a watertight barrier that performs year after year. Where plaster breaks down and paint flakes away, INTER-GLASS® remains smooth, vibrant, and easy to maintain.
Every INTER-GLASS® project begins with hydro-blasting at 40,000 PSI—a high-pressure water process that strips away worn plaster, paint, or contaminants to expose sound concrete. This meticulous preparation creates the perfect bonding surface for the composite layers.
Once applied, the system cures into a dense, high-bond shell that virtually eliminates the peeling, chalking, or delamination common to traditional finishes. The result is a pool interior that performs flawlessly across decades of Midwest temperature shifts, pool chemical exposure, and daily use.
Mid-America’s certified technicians have refined this process over hundreds of installations, ensuring consistent results and minimal downtime for every project.
Whether it’s a backyard retreat or a municipal facility, INTER-GLASS® adapts seamlessly to every environment. Mid-America’s installers have completed hundreds of projects across Des Moines and the greater Iowa—each one tailored to the property’s unique look and function.
Homeowners across Des Moines love the way INTER-GLASS® feels—silky-smooth underfoot, comfortable to the touch, and resistant to fading and rough spots. With fewer chemical fluctuations and no chalky residue, it keeps backyard pools looking crystal-clean with minimal maintenance effort.
For hotels, health clubs, schools, and community centers, INTER-GLASS® provides commercial-grade strength in a refined finish. Its seamless construction resists heavy wear, water pressure, and chemical exposure while lowering long-term resurfacing costs. Facilities stay open longer, and maintenance budgets stretch further.
Whether you manage a local YMCA or a downtown resort, the INTER-GLASS® system delivers the professional durability that Des Moines businesses depend on.
Every INTER-GLASS® surface is protected by a 25-year limited warranty covering peeling, cracking, and leaks through the finish when properly maintained.
Ownership transfers are available upon inspection during a property sale—making INTER-GLASS® a long-term investment that adds real resale value.
Many older Iowa pools were built with fiberglass or steel panel walls. The INTER-GLASS® system bonds directly to these surfaces using specialized primers and adhesives, forming one continuous waterproof shell that seals joints, eliminates liner failures, and prevents leaks.
Des Moines’s soil movement and freeze-thaw cycles often cause cracking in conventional finishes. During every INTER-GLASS® installation, our team reinforces these structural weak points before applying the composite layers. This extra step creates a flexible yet solid interior that holds its integrity under shifting ground conditions.
One of the best parts of owning an INTER-GLASS® pool is how simple it is to maintain. Follow these quick tips to extend its life and keep it looking its best:
