Regular plaster finish/Colored/dye - Nice alternative to exspensive premixes and will hold up better with some addatives.

Stone scapes - don't know

Durrazo - Nice product, good feel to the feet, limited in color selection not as chemical resistant as some other premixes (not as forgiving).

Hydrazzo - Nice product, good feel to the feet, very good color selection not as chemical resistant as some other premixes (not as forgiving).

PebbleTech - Nice product, the standard Pebble Tech would be an aquired taste if you are used to standard plaster, personaly I like the feel of the pebble sheen, exelent color selection (looks fantastic and changes colors as the sun rises and falls), very good chemical resistance. CAUTION This finish is to be apllied by professonals with a lot of experience.

Diamond Brite - Nice product, good feel to the feet (if exsposed correctly), very good color selection, very good chemical resistance. The look and feel of this product is directly related to the exposer of the quartz.

River Rok - The old formulation of this product was like walking on a gravel driveway with your bare feet. Supposedly they are using smaller and more rounded pebbles but I have not seen it.

Beadcrete - Nice product, excellent feel to the feet, excelent color selecion (like pebble tech looks fantastic and colors change with the day and add the shimmering from the glass in the sun), very good chemical resistance. CAUTION This finish is to be applied by professonals with a lot or experience.

I asked the company that applied our finish about Hydrazzo and he said that he wouldn't spend the extra money on it. He didn't feel it was worth it. We got Ultra-Poz, which is a modified plaster. It has a 7 yr. warranty as opposed to 5 yr. with Hydrazzo and 3M. We love ours.
