| Question: | | What is the difference between Marcite & Exposed Aggregate Finishes? |
| Answer: | | Marcite is made on the job site from marble dust and white cement. The soft porous marble and the unmodified cement make marcite very vulnerable to the aggressive water chemistry that's in your pool. Magicolors exposed aggregate finishes and our Aqua Pearl natural pebble finishes on the other hand are preblended in our factory under strict quality control standards. Made up of hand selected quartz aggregates and/or natural pebbles, 3M Colorquartz and/or 3M Accent Stones, modified cements, and the highest quality pigments in the industry today. |
