Glass Bead Pool Finish

August 14, 2013 Written by: Nick Luisi

Spring break has come and gone, but that doesn’t mean you have to forget what it’s like to be near the crisp sparkling water of the ocean or the hotel resort pool. What if your home pool could replicate the glimmer that is associated with the luxury of being on vacation?

Pool owners are now starting to consider a glass bead pool finish, a trend that is becoming popular in the southern states, but one that some pools owners in the Chicago area are also starting to explore. Not only does a glass bead pool finish put a unique touch on your pool, but it gives a beautiful sparkle to the surface of the water.

Sunset Pools & Spas recently completed an outdoor home spa featuring a beautiful waterfall in Hinsdale, Illinois. The homeowners were interested in creating a unique atmosphere, and JewelScapes glass beading gave the project just the right touch of lavishness that they were hoping to achieve. Check out some pictures from the final product below!
