Aggregate Finish Pool Surface

An Aggregate Finish is a type of pool surface made by mixing plaster with materials like quartz, pebbles, or glass beads for added durability and aesthetic appeal.

Types of Swimming Pool Aggregate Finishes

  • Quartz: Crushed quartz mixed with plaster for a smooth, colorful finish.
  • Pebble: Small, rounded stones embedded in plaster for a textured, natural look.
  • Glass Beads: Polished beads that create a luminous, reflective surface.

Benefits of Aggregate Finishes

  • Aesthetic Appeal: Provides a unique, upscale look with a variety of colors and textures.
  • Non-Slip Surface: Pebble finishes offer added grip for swimmer safety.
