Pool Interior Finishes Guide

Plaster, quartz, pebble and glass bead finishes compared: how they look, how they feel and how they last.

The interior finish sets the color of your water and the feel of the pool underfoot. Traditional white plaster gives a pale, classic look. Quartz blends crushed stone with cement for color and strength. Pebble finishes use small stones for a textured, long-lasting surface, and glass bead adds sparkle.

Each finish has its own balance of look, texture, durability and care. Smoother finishes feel soft, textured ones feel natural and tough, and water chemistry matters for all of them. We recommend samples viewed wet and in your light.
