PebbleKote

Pebble Coating

PebbleKote is our premium product within our range due to its stunningly beautiful appearance and amazing weathering characteristics.

When trying to work out the ratio you need to know the size of your pebbles.
Once you have the size you can calculate the amount of binder you'll need. For example, for 1.6mm pebbles you need 10kgs of those pebbles and 1lt of PolyKote Binder to cover 1 square metre @ 3mm thickness. This mix optimises the spread rate as well as the "toughness" of the final coating.

We recommend this ratio of the 1.6mm pebble especially for around areas you plan on walking barefoot because it is better/'softer' underfoot.

We do not sell pebbles, only the binder, but you can give us a call and we can try put you in touch with a pebble provider in your area or a contractor who can handle the entire thing for you so you don't have to stress.

The Pebbles are mixed with a time-proven, self-crosslinking, UV stable 'glue' and is simply laid into place, contoured and left to dry. It is quick, it is timeless and beautifully elegant.

Pebble Coating Demo - Part 1 - KleenKote Application

Lets start with the basics...

For part 1 of pebble paving you will need to clean your surface.

In the video to the left you will see exactly how to degrease your area to ensure no contaminants are left behind to cause potential failures in the future

Pebble Coating Demo - Part 2 - GripKote Application

Now that your surface has been properly washed and left to dry you can now apply your next essential product... the primer!

We recommend using our non-slip GripKote as the primer to use for both sealing a porous surface as well as provide a good solid primer base to help your pebbles adhere to the substrate.

Pebble Coating Demo - Part 3 - Mixing the Pebbles

The FINAL step is to mix our PolyKote binder with your dry pebbles!

Finally, after all your prep work you can now apply your pebble paving!
Follow the steps in the video to see just how to do this part of the process and enjoy having a lovely new pebble paving area around your home!

Stunning Sand Results with SticKote

As you can see from these stairs on the right, SticKote has the ability to cover every surface with beautiful sand!

A contractor in the Eastern Cape used SticKote only to mix and bind these beautiful pale beach sand to a set of staircases that led from a clients home to their own private beach. The wonderful thing about this is that it provided a soft non-slip coating on the steps so when the client left the beach they wouldn't slip on the stairs as well as match the beach themed decor of their garden. A truly stunning sight!

PolyKote Magic

The wonderful thing about our binders is not only does it have an incredible end finish but it can be used in various different ways once it has been mixed with pebbles.
As you can see from the pictures, a contractor in JHB found that you can get really nice clean lines along cobble stones in driveways and at the same time make beautiful designs around fountains.

Using PolyKote with 1.6mm Pebbles

As you can see from the images, a customer wanted to test an area at their property to see if the pebbles would create an aesthetically pleasing look between their tiles... the result? They are immensely happy!

Applying the PolyKote + Pebble mixture to the spaces in between the flagstones added to the natural look of their outdoor area and thus they will be completing the area with more pebble and PolyKote mix

Gorgeous Pebble Paving

Not all customers want the 'natural' looking Duzi pebble. Some prefer a darker tone like the pebbles used by a contractor in Durban.
The client requested to have a black, grey and white mini stone applied over they outdoor brick patio area that ran all the way out to their pool.
As you can see the clean, neat edging really brings new life to the area, transforming it into an eye catching outdoor area that will have their family and friends wanting to spend more time outside around the pool.

Pebble Paving Job in Durban

Another fantastic opportunity for our Durban Contractor, Bruce from B&M Coatings, to lay some gorgeous pebbles around a pool. But the customer didn't just want the pebbling around the edges, they also requested that some stepping stones were made to fit between their false grass turf AND to top it all off they wanted to lay a thick layer of pebbling in the outdoor patio area.
The results are simply stunning as you can see below.

Pebble Edging Around a Pool

As can be seen on the left (and centre picture) a client bought a carpet trimming so he could apply his pebbles and keep his pool edging looking nice and clean.
The pebbles created a great non slip edge for his pool while also not detracting from the aesthetics of his pool area.

Pool Pebble Coping - PebbleKote

As you can see, the finished product looks incredible around one of our customers pools. The original idea was to make it red (as seen in the video - using our red ColorKote) but after some discussion the decision to change it to grey and white pebbles with our PolyKote binder was agreed upon.

This just goes to show how versatile the product is and how stunning it can look no matter the colour.

BEFORE

A customer was rather unhappy with the look of their floor and after some serious discussion, the decision to lay down PebbleKote was agreed upon.

But like we advise all our customers, cleaning the surface first and thoroughly is vital to the successful application of our product.

AFTER

Doing the entire job themselves, our customer has transformed the area into a picturesque walkway that looks inviting to all and is perfectly complementary to any decor they choose to adorn on the walls or patios furniture they wish to use in the area.
