Application Method
Naturally tumbled pebbles and a specifically
formulated cement are combined with water and tinted additives,
then pneumatically applied to the interior of the pool.
Using a unique method, the mix is then hand trowelled
and "exposed" with precise timing to reveal
the top layer of pebbles. After the finish has thoroughly
hardened, (normally within 24 hours) it is cleaned with
a solution to enhance the brightness and lustre of the
natural pebbles.

NOTE: It's
a good idea to apply a neat cement / Concre-bond mix to
the pool's surface just prior to trowelling on the pebble
mix to assure a good strong bond between the concrete shell
and the pebble.

Walls after being trowelled twice to achieve a very
smooth finish; ready to be exposed

Exposing the walls with a special spray nozzle that
washes off the top layer of cement and exposes the polished
pebble
