When deciding between Beadcrete and Pebblecrete for pool resurfacing, both have their benefits, but there are a few key differences that might help guide your decision based on your preferences and needs.

Beadcrete:

• Appearance: Beadcrete has small glass beads embedded in the surface, giving it a smooth, shiny finish with a unique look that sparkles in the sunlight. It’s often considered more aesthetically pleasing and luxurious.
• Texture: It’s smoother to the touch compared to Pebblecrete, reducing the abrasive feel of the surface, which some people find more comfortable, especially for children or sensitive skin.
• Durability: Beadcrete is extremely durable, resistant to chemicals, and offers a long-lasting surface that requires minimal maintenance.
• Maintenance: The smooth surface is easier to clean and maintain, and the glass beads help to resist algae growth, reducing the need for heavy cleaning.
• Cost: Typically, Beadcrete is more expensive than Pebblecrete due to the quality and the appearance it offers.

Pebblecrete:

• Appearance: Pebblecrete has a rougher texture and is made up of natural stones, giving it a more rustic, natural look. It can come in various stone types and colors, making it customisable.
• Texture: The surface is more textured and can feel rougher underfoot, which might not be as comfortable as Beadcrete. However, this texture can be beneficial for grip and traction in the pool.
• Durability: Pebblecrete is also highly durable and resistant to weather, chemicals, and wear. It can last for many years with proper maintenance.
• Maintenance: The textured surface may require more effort to clean, and the stones can sometimes trap dirt, making it harder to keep spotless compared to Beadcrete. It may also attract algae if not regularly maintained.
• Cost: Pebblecrete is generally more affordable than Beadcrete.

Key Considerations:

1. Aesthetics: If you prefer a glossy, sparkling, and luxurious look, Beadcrete is the way to go. If you want a more natural, earthy, and rugged appearance, Pebblecrete is your choice.
2. Feel: For a smoother feel underfoot, Beadcrete wins, while Pebblecrete provides more texture and grip.
3. Budget: If you’re on a budget, Pebblecrete may be more cost-effective, but Beadcrete could be worth the extra investment if you’re looking for a premium finish.

Both options are great choices, but it ultimately comes down to your preferences for aesthetics, texture, maintenance, and budget. Would you prefer the smoother, glossier finish, or the natural, rugged feel?
