Colour families
We hold no photograph of this finish on one of our own projects, so this page does not show one. Everything above is a colour family, not a picture of a material.
Circulation & filtration
DE filter
Grids coated in diatomaceous earth. Filters finer than anything else on this list, and in exchange you backwash it, recharge it with powder, and deal with where the backwash goes.
Signature cost band
The middle band. Where most of our projects land once the yard is seen as a whole.
