What are glass finishes for pools?

Glass pool finishes are made using small, rounded glass beads in a special cement mixture that is blended into the pool’s surface material. When the light reflects these beads, it creates a luminous effect, giving the water a deeper, more vibrant colour and sparkle.

Unlike standard pebblecrete, glass bead finishes are smoother and softer under your feet while still providing the strength and durability that pools require.

At O’Sullivan Swimming Pool Interiors & Renovations, we use a mix of glass and natural pebbles, depending on your desired look and texture. You can choose from:

  • 100% Glass Bead Finish: For a sleek, glossy appearance that reflects light.
  • Glass and Pebble Blend: Combining the best of both worlds for a natural yet shimmering result.

This flexibility means you can find the ideal balance between texture, durability and looks. Plus, our glass finishes are also fade-resistant, which means they will stand up to the ever-present Queensland sun, so your pool shines season after season.

Benefits of glass for your pool interior?

A glass bead pool surface will upgrade your pool’s glow, but there are also plenty of other benefits that come with it. 

  • Colour depth: Glass reflects light, giving your pool a sparkling appearance.
  • Smooth texture: The rounded beads create a silky, comfortable surface. Kids can practice those handstands over and over on the smooth surface.
  • Durability and longevity: Glass is non-porous, meaning it resists staining, fading and chemical wear better than many materials.
  • Low maintenance: Its smooth surface makes it harder for algae to cling. This means less cleaning for you!
  • Eco-friendly: Many glass beads are made from recycled materials, offering a sustainable option.
  • Customisable: Choose from subtle natural hues to vibrant, shimmering tones that complement your outdoor design.

How glass finishes are applied

At O’Sullivan Swimming Pool Interiors & Renovations, we proudly supply our Glass Range to leading pool builders and renovation specialists throughout South East Queensland and Northern NSW. 

 

Here’s how the process typically works:

Step 1. Choose your pool company

Begin by selecting your pool builder or renovation specialist. Once you’ve decided on your contractor, you’ll be able to discuss which glass or glass/pebble mix best suits your pool design.

Step 2. Select your Glass Range finish

Your chosen company will help you view samples and select the perfect colour and texture from our Glass Range, whether you love the elegant simplicity of Glass Ice White, the vibrant tone of Glass Barrier Reef, or the depth of Glass Black.

Step 3. Quoting and sourcing

All interiors are quoted and purchased through your chosen pool company. Once you’ve finalised your selection, they’ll liaise directly with our team at O’Sullivan to source the glass materials and coordinate delivery to your site.

Step 4. Application and installation

Your contractor will then carry out the full resurfacing or installation process: preparing the pool shell, applying the chosen glass mix, and polishing it to achieve a smooth finish. 

Step 5. Curing and completion

After the surface is applied, the pool is cured and sealed. Once complete, you’ll have a durable, low-maintenance glass pool interior that shines for years to come.

Maintaining your glass pool finish

One of the reasons homeowners love glass surfaces is how easy they are to maintain. Follow these simple tips to keep your pool sparkling year-round:

  • Vacuum lightly once a week to remove surface dust or debris.
  • Keep your pool water balanced.
  • Use a pool cover during extended periods of non-use to prevent organic buildup.

The great news is that glass pools require very minimal upkeep to keep them sparkling for years to come.
