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:
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.
A glass bead pool surface will upgrade your pool’s glow, but there are also plenty of other benefits that come with it.
Our Glass Range is designed to cater to every aesthetic, from soft coastal tones to resort-style vibes. Whether you prefer a subtle design or a dramatic statement, we’ll help you find a finish that matches your style.
All interiors are quoted and supplied directly through your chosen pool builder or renovation company. We’ll work with them to source your preferred glass finish from our trusted supplier, ensuring a seamless process from selection to installation.

Here’s how the process typically works:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Costs vary depending on pool size, surface condition and your chosen glass mix. As a general guide, glass bead finishes are a premium option compared to standard pebble surfaces due to their materials and application technique.
Despite their smooth texture, glass finishes are carefully applied and polished to ensure slip resistance. In fact, our glass and pebble blends offer even greater grip, which is ideal for families and resorts.
Absolutely. Glass finishes can be applied to most existing concrete or fibreglass pools.
With proper maintenance, a glass bead pool surface can last 20–25 years or more. It’s one of the most durable and colour-stable finishes available today.
Yes, which is the beauty of it. Depending on the bead colour and transparency, glass can transform your pool water from crystal blue to deep emerald or shimmering silver. Our experts can show you how different glass blends interact with natural light to achieve your desired look.
Many glass beads are made from recycled materials, making them a sustainable choice for your pool renovation.
Glass finishes offer a more reflective, premium look with smoother texture and greater colour depth. Pebblecrete, on the other hand, delivers a classic, natural appearance with excellent traction.
