Hey everyone, I’m new to the site and wow what a wealth of knowledge! I have been searching this topic for the past few days on here and apparently I’m not alone in feeling overwhelmed by trying to choose the best plaster. My PB uses NPT products so I’ve limited my search to these. I’ve decided I definitely want to upgrade from Quartzscapes to at least Stonescapes. Anything beyond that like Puerto Rico blend or Touch of glass will depend on pricing which I’m waiting to find out. As of now, I’m thinking Stonescapes Mini Pebble will be the most realistic choice without breaking the bank. From what I’m reading, mini pebbles will be a little less abrasive to the skin than the regular pebbles but still hide imperfections better than micro pebbles or quartzscapes. Does that sound right?
My pool is 13x28 with an additional 12x8 tanning ledge and 8x8 spa. It is a sport pool that’s 3.5’ feet on each side and 5.5’ in the middle. Im in south Louisiana and it faces north with no nearby trees so it stays in almost full sun constantly.
I had no idea it would be so exhausting picking plaster color haha. From all the pictures we’ve gone through, we tend to like darker blue/turquoise water but don’t like it to be so dark it gets murky or lagoon like. Based on pictures on the NPT website, it looks like Tropics Blue may achieve that. However, going through other pictures, and reading comments, it sounds conflicting that tropics blue will be more of a dark gray blue and less turquoise than some of the others. We love the water color in this picture and would like to achieve as close to this as possible. We’d also like to use a color that will make the large tanning deck a nice gray color and not be too abrasive. Any help or suggestions you all may offer is greatly appreciated!
