Pebble, Aggregate & Glass Bead Finishes

Natural Texture and Long-Lasting Color

Exposed aggregate finishes mix small pebbles, stones, or glass beads into the plaster. After application, the surface is exposed to reveal the aggregate, giving the pool a natural look and a durable interior.

Pebble finishes have a textured, natural feel. Polished aggregates are ground smoother, and glass bead blends add sparkle under the water.

We offer pebble, polished aggregate, and glass bead finishes in a range of colors. Compare samples in our Westminster showroom.

Types of Aggregate Finishes

Pebble Finishes

Pebble finishes show small, rounded stones at the surface. They have a natural look and a noticeable texture underfoot, and they are known for durability. Blends range from light, sandy tones to darker mixes that deepen the water color.

Polished Aggregate

Polished aggregate finishes are ground after they cure, creating a smoother surface that still shows the stone. They offer a refined look with less texture than a standard pebble finish.

Glass Bead Blends

Glass bead finishes add small glass beads to the mix. The glass catches the light and adds sparkle under the water, and it is often blended with quartz or pebble for different effects.
