Why Your Pool Finish Matters More Than You Think
August 15, 2025
When designing your dream pool, the finish you choose is more than just a final touch, it's the foundation of your pool's personality. It influences how the water looks, how the surface feels, and how your entire backyard experience comes to life.
At Noble Tile, our Designer Series Quartz and Designer Series Pebble collections are crafted to help you create a pool that's not only beautiful but also built to last.
The Finish That Defines the Water
Water is a living element, constantly shifting with light, depth, and movement. The right finish acts like a canvas, bringing out the water's true color and character. Whether you're drawn to tranquil blues, vibrant aquas, or deep emerald tones, your finish determines how your pool looks from dawn to dusk.
- Quartz finishes offer a smooth, polished surface that reflects light beautifully, creating a sleek, modern aesthetic.
- Pebble finishes bring a more natural, textured look, like a mountain stream or tropical lagoon. Perfect for a relaxed, organic vibe.
Pro Tip: Get the sample wet! Seeing it dry won't give you the full picture. Wetting the sample mimics how it will look in a full pool.


Built for Beauty and Longevity
Our Designer Series finishes are engineered for performance as much as style. They resist wear, staining, and fading, ensuring your pool stays stunning with minimal upkeep.
- Choose Quartz for refined shimmer and elegance.
- Choose Pebble for earthy texture and durability.
- Want more sparkle? Add Glass Bead or Abalone Shell enhancements for a touch of brilliance that catches the sunlight and adds dynamic shimmer to your water.
A Reflection of You
Your pool should feel like your favorite place to be. That's why we offer a wide range of colors, textures, and finishes so you can create a space that's uniquely yours. Whether you're designing a peaceful retreat, a lively entertainment hub, or a luxurious escape, the right finish helps bring your vision to life.
Explore Your Style:
- Take to the internet! Browse Pinterest, Instagram, and pool plaster websites to find inspiration.
- Are you drawn to dark, dramatic pools or light, tropical lagoons? Your preferences help narrow down your options.
Consider Your Environment
- Highly shaded areas may mute colors.
- Direct sunlight enhances brightness and sparkle.
- Trees and greenery reflect in the water and influence its tone.
Discuss these factors with your pool builder or designer to ensure your finish complements your surroundings.
