Learn the Different Kinds of Pool Mosaics

When it comes to designing your pool mosaic, the sky really is the limit. The number of design options that you have are endless. In today’s blog, we’ll take a look at some of the different types of tile that you can use to create beautiful mosaics for pools.

Ceramic/Porcelain Tile

Ceramic tiles have been the industry standard for pool tiles for decades. One interesting detail about ceramic tiles is that they are hand-painted in solid colors or in beautiful designs. Additionally, ceramic tiles are also made in textured options that can add depth to your mosaic design. Similarly, porcelain-glazed tiles can be made to give your tiles an even bolder look.

Glass/Stone Tile

Glass tiles are becoming more popular with each passing year. From an environmental perspective, glass tiles are composed mostly of recycled glass materials. They are nonporous and the most durable pool tiles, but they are considerably more expensive. Many designers like to use glass tiles to draw attention to the crystal clear water and the rest of the pool design.

Stone tiles are another design option that might suit your pool needs. While most pool designs will rely on ceramic, porcelain, and glass elements, stone tiles present a more classic look. Using stone tiles can bring your overall backyard look together by connecting the pool area with the patio, deck, and lawn designs.

Don’t Be Afraid to Mix It Up

Everything that we’ve discussed so far is great, but in the end it’s your pool and you want a custom pool mosaic that suits your tastes and style. What you’ll find as you do your research is that many designers will mix all types of tile together to create interesting designs for their clients. Consider how color, texture, and detail can be used to create a beautiful design to suit your pool.
