Tumbled glass chips are a superb aquarium gravel. The translucence of
glass lends itself to underlighting providing an unprecedented effect in
aquatic environments. We’ve experimented with our tumbled glass and
large rocks and have generated some spectacalar looks. The glass is
inert and beneficial bacteria grows within the glass chips in essentially
the same way as traditional aquarium gravels. Mixed colors provide
unrivaled hues. Spoil your fish and get them something with panache.
One of the many limitations of traditional pool plaster materials is sparkle and depth.
Faceted glass chips reflect and illuminate sunlight with unparalleled pop. Whether in a
terrazzo-like finish or in an exposed aggregate finish, glass in swimming pools can take
your pool or your clients’ pools to a new level. Installation is identical to traditional
exposed aggregate plasters with the added step of gently polishing the surface to remove
any rough edge. An especially audacious look is achieved with iridescent glass tiles
installed at a pool’s waterline and tumbled glass chips throughout the plaster below. We’ve
perfected the sizing of our chips to ensure a dense compacting of the aggregates in the
pool finish. Almost any combination of colors can be incorporated either alone or in
combination with traditional pebbles or quartz. Especially stunning is a combination
of Dark Blue, Light Blue, Turquoise, Teal, and Dark Green in multiple sizes. Glass does
not react with harsh swimming pool chemicals arguably extending the life of any new
or remodeled swimming pool. Once you go glass, you never go back.
