Beadcrete

[el duderino]

Any experience with this plaster product? It seems to be a good option, but there is very little info out there on it. Can anyone comment on the longevity and price?

I would also love to see some pictures of some pools finished with the beadcrete.

thanks

I have no clue about beadcrete but...

You can use Google Image Search to look at pools with beadcrete.

I just plugged it in as beadcrete pools and came up with a good bit of photos.

Good Luck! 8)

Hi el duderino and welcome to the forum!

If you will do a site search for beadcrete you will find several posts

Hey, it took me a minute, but I got your name :lol:

Thanks for the replies. I will do the google images search..great idea. I have seen some pics, but haven't seen any in person. I did search here and have read all the threads. Still trying to get a little more info and reviews on the product. It seems to have been around for quite awhile, so I'm a bit surprised I can't find a little more information.

I will ask my PB about it, as I know they've done one recently and see if I can get more details and hopefully check it out in person.

We had Beadcrete installed in our pool May '08 after we saw a sample the PB showed us. We loved the look and it is beautiful, but we were shocked at the cost. We swallowed the cost-shock and had it done, but in hind-site I don't think I would do it again because the cost was WAY too much compared to other products. But everyone that sees it always comments how beautiful and unique it is.

Here are some pictures of the pool and the beadcrete plaster.

Looks beautiful. What color did you choose? I would love to see/feel some beadcrete in person. Of course, the cost may be too much to even consider it.

The color is Aqua Marine. It has blue, blue/green and white glass beads and the plaster is a light gray color. The feel is similar to PebbleSheen, but a little smoother.
