I will make it easier for you on the mix, pebble tech is a mix of sand, cement and rock so being this said, the material is 2x stronger than regular plaster where only cement and sand are mixed, but yeah, it is rougher on your feet. These and many other reasons made us choose pebbletech over others, we are a certified pebble tec builder, which means that we use a certified applicator (a subcontractor) that applies pebbletech only. Another comparable fact is that pebble sheen colors are premixed by the manufacturer, compared to other generic brands that mix the materials based off a formula, so, this is where the discrepancies occur, some builders may add more black rock than others so in times where a repair is needed, it may be hard to match the color. Pebble sheen is a material that can only be applied by certified applicators companies that train their employees with very specific protocols of application and have all the proper tools and equipment to mix your materials, and the best thing, you have a quality control team that will show up whenever you have an issue, this to me is what makes a difference, pebble tec colors, even the darkest one, looks very even after first acid wash before filling the pool for the first time. I know pebbletec materials are a bit more pricey than others, but let me tell you the cool thing about having a company like PEBBLETEC by your side. Most come from Baja California Mexico but they can also come from a variety of places, some places with bigger rock than others, so the consistency of your “generic” brand pebble finish may be rougher than what you envisioned.
I want to start off by saying, there’s plenty of generic rocks in the market that can give you a “pebble finish” look. They are beautiful, don’t get me wrong, but please know the risks before choosing a gray pool plaster. Plaster is a mix of cement and sand with a certain amount of dye added to the mix to give you a gray color (any shade such as light, medium, dark or french), your pool plastering company may use liquid or powder pigment.
Also, your pool guy might be brushing more on one side of the pool than others and that causes the color to fade away more in certain areas. Most chemicals are safe to use on colored pools but they still have been proven to affect the color.

It also requires a professional service company to maintain and help to avoid worsening, we found them very hard to treat when an algae problem arises without discolorating the surface. Knowing this ahead of the game can save headaches and problems with your pool builder.

I chose these two products today because of their popularity and because I often see my clients debating on whether they should upgrade to pebble sheen or stick to just a regular white plaster.įirst I will start by saying, color plasters are very nice (I love dark bottom pools!) they will attract the heat from the sun more than a light liner (as any other dark color material) but they tend to fade away, mottling and bleach spots occur within a few months and that can bother your eyesight in the long run. I will be creating more content at a later time of all the other pebbletec products not mentioned here, diamond brite, hydrazzo, quartz and others. I will talk in detail about only these two products to waterproof the pool shell, please note that everything you read here is nothing but my honest opinion after spending over 13 years working in the pool industry. Good Morning my readers! Today I’ll be speaking a little bit about plaster and pebble pools.
