Pool tile lives in water, sun and salt. Konstantin sets waterline tile, glass mosaic steps and spa walls, and stone coping around new and renovated pools.
Tile goes on between the shell and the finish, so the schedule is set with your pool contractor.
Mortars and grouts rated for constant water and pool chemicals.
Contrasting tile on steps and bench edges so people can see them under water.
Coping set level with a smooth, rounded edge and joints that let the deck move.
Real jobs, photographed on site.
Porcelain and glass mosaic are the usual choices for the waterline. Both are dense, so they do not soak up water and they clean easily when calcium builds up. Glass reflects light and looks vivid; porcelain costs less and comes in stone and pattern looks. The setting materials must be rated for full submersion.
In Northeast Florida, plan on resealing a travertine pool deck every one to two years. Use a breathable penetrating sealer rather than a film that sits on top and turns slippery. Salt and chlorinated water soaking into unsealed stone causes pitting and white efflorescence, and you should never seal over efflorescence that is already there.
