Diamond Brite Exposed Aggregate Pool Finishes...
All you add is the perfect setting. There's more to a
great pool finish than meets the eye. A great pool finish is durable,
comfortable, easily maintained, and pleasing to the eye. Diamond Brite from SGM
is all that and more. Diamond Brite combines natural quartz aggregates.
polymer-modified cement and non-fading Diamond quartz in a stunning variety of
colors. The result is a unique finish that stands up to the harshest pool
environments while providing years of enjoyment.
The lasting beauty and durability of a diamond. Unlike
traditional marble-based pool plasters, Diamond Brite is made with natural
quartz, one of nature's hardest and purest minerals. Marble aggregates are
easily dissolved by pool chemicals causing unsightly etching and rapid
deterioration. Diamond Brite's insoluble quartz aggregate is unaffected by the
harshest pool chemicals and resists permanent staining. Also, the Diamond Quartz
accent colors won't rust, rub off or fade like other colored aggregates because
our coating technology produces a tough, permanently bonded colored aggregate.
Finally, state-of-the-art polymer modification of Diamond Brite's cement
increases hardness, improves bonding and reduces water penetration. All this
adds up to a beautiful yet durable pool finish.
Comfort, safety, security.
You'll have an added sense of security knowing that
your pool is comfortable and slip resistant. Because SGM selects quartz
aggregates that are smaller than pebble surfaces, the surface is comfortable to
bather's feet. And in this age of safety consciousness, Diamond Brite is the
ideal surface where wet, slippery conditions are a concern.
Relax and enjoy.
In developing Diamond Brite, SGM made ease of
maintenance a top priority. The impervious quartz used in Diamond Brite resists
stains and etching caused by harsh pool chemicals. And, unlike existing pool
plasters, Diamond Brite pools can be drained and cleaned without being damaged.
Additionally, the accent colors in Diamond Brite give the surface a variegated
appearance, masking the slight imperfections that are readily apparent in
traditional finishes.
Versatility
Diamond Brite offers a selection of tranquil colors that are factory blended
to perfection. And if you're so inclined, we can even custom blend our premium
finish to express a unique poolscape. Diamond Brite can help you achieve an
environment of tranquility and beauty, sensible practicality and superior
longevity.
Advantages
Diamond Brite quartz aggregate has millions of brilliantly colored quartz
granules equaling more durability and lasting color. Diamond Brite invokes the
richest quartz color showing all the way through to the bottom of the pool, spa,
or fountain. Diamond Brite's colored quartz appearance is enhanced with time.
Warranty
You can rest assured that the highest quality products have been used and is
supported by the best warranty program in the industry. It's a sign of our
commitment to achieve the highest quality standards in all our swimming pool and
spa finishes.

Beadcrete®
is a cement based, factory premixed, innovative finish for masonry
surfaces. It contains solid, inert, clear, recycled glass spheres
that are locked into the matrix by graded aggregates and polymer
modified cements.
This stunning concrete finish is applied and finished in a similar way to
exposed aggregate, yet it is much finer, and hence, much smoother.
Beadcrete® has many advantages over its predecessors in terms of
appearance, texture, lower porosity and durability. Excellent adhesion,
cohesion and low permeability are achieved by the use of the patented
intellectual property. Exclusive rights have been granted via
licensing agreements by the patent holder for these products to be used in
exclusive territories.
This is an Australian innovation, owned by Australians, made in
Australia from local and imported ingredients. Already exported for
exclusive installations, Beadcrete® is admired by all those who witness
the sheer beauty its effects provide.
Beadcrete® "glows" under both natural and artificial lights. The results
are stunning. The surface has a 3-Dimensional effect. Available in a range
of designer colours, this remarkable finish enhances the visual effect
contemporary architecture demands.

formal design of this beautiful pool. This colour "depth" is contrasted
nicely by the lighter blue tiled bench, waterline tile and the sandstone
coloured terracotta surrounds. Classic, yet contemporary and very
inviting…… |

Beadcrete® "Blue Flash" finish. Our most popular colour. Blue Flash
is a brilliant mid-blue. Once again providing an excellent visual effect
with yellow and terracotta colours. The Beadcrete® here goes right up to
the terracotta coping stone, there is no waterline tile.
The waterfall feature adds sound and movement to the pool. This promotes
the retroreflective effect provided by the Beadcrete®, and can be
witnessed by the spectacular light refraction in the water.
Sensational at night with the pool light on! |

Beadcrete® "Blue Flash" finish
Another stunning contemporary pool project.
The shimmering blue completes this picture perfect pool design. Note the
single row of tiles along step & bench edges. This not only looks good,
but is an effective safety measure to stop swimmers diving in and
hitting these features. Once again there is no waterline tileband. |
The colour swatches below lead to much larger blowups of the colour
choices.
Custom colours can be negotiated and arranged.
|
Beadcrete® "Blue" finish
A tropical paradise, inviting, colourful and smooth on the feet. "Blue"
provides a similar effect to "Blue Flash"- yet slightly lighter and
"purer" because there are no black quartz chips, providing a "purer"
blue look… See the difference by clicking on the swatches (above right).
|
The pool on the left has to be Beacdcrete®s most incredible
renovation. The pool itself was an indoor/outdoor inground pool that had
seen better days.
(Click to see details of Beadcrete® Renovations)
The discerning owners of this propery chose "Blue" Beadcrete® to
renovate the pool and rejuvenate their entertaining area.
More importantly the customer, who is a TV and radio personality was
more than happy and said
"I am so glad that I decided to take the plunge and renovate the pool
with Beadcrete. Why would anyone have their pool surface made out of
anything else?"
Good question Grace!, you can read her full celebrity testimonial(s)
here. |
Beadcrete® "Blue" finish.
Compare this blue to the previous pool. Camera angle, surrounds, shade
cover and pool depth influence the final colour achieved. This pool is
more "out in the open" and therefore looks lighter. This magnificent
pool is a modern "classic". |
People who have the best pools on the market are choosing Beadcrete®.
Why?
The look and the feel.
This pool has a "negative edge" weir at "canal" end of pool.
The pool's water appears to disappear into the canal - providing a
magical image, and the delightful sounds of running water as it cascades
over the weir into a holding tank on the other side. This pool has a
waterline tileband and a tiled mural of a dolphin on the floor of the
pool - pure class. |
Beadcrete® "Blue Flash"
We can't imitate the vibrant "alive" look Beadcrete gives under
sunlight. Full marks to our website designer, but to do the product
justice, ask to see a pool in person, (No offence Dave, nice try!)
No worries, - Ed.
|
As in the pool to the left Beadcrete®
can be applied right up to the pool's coping, unlike other "unmodified"
cement renders. This means if you don't want a tile band - you don't
have to have one. This saves time & money on the pool's construction.
Aesthetically and structurally the results are stunning. The Beadcrete
above the waterline will light up under lights more so than beneath the
water. |
A close-up of the Beadcrete®
finish with it's patented and unique ingredient - small recycled clear
glass beads. |
"During the day in natural sunlight and at night under lights the pool
has a sparkling blue finish. We are delighted with Beadcrete"
