How To Select Tile

 

Design

Creating your dream pool/spa environment is an exciting time to explore! Your possibilities are virtually endless when you plan the feel and look of your pool/spa. From designing your pool tile’s texture, pattern, tone and color, the opportunities can be endless. To help you begin, we’ve come up with a few tips to get you started.

Textured Tile

Many of our tiles are naturally textured and colored. These natural tiles add a sophisticated look and create a serene and beautiful environment. For those who are looking to create a soothing look, the wide variety of colors allows most tastes to be satisfied. Keep in mind, most of these tiles have wide shade variations, which add to their natural beauty. Imported from Italy, these porcelain tiles meet ANSI and ASTM standards for durability and strength. The strong porcelain material resists frost, acid etching and cracking.

Glazed Tile

Glazed tile holds a beautiful and vivid depth of color. For the homeowner who wants their tile to create a splash of color, or accent elements from their backyard decor, glazed tile can be just the right thing. Made of fired porcelain, these tiles are created with deep, rich pigments and their surfaces are smooth from being fired with a thick coating of glaze. As with all of our tiles, these porcelain tiles meet ANSI and ASTM standards for durability and strength. The strong porcelain material resists frost, acid etching and cracking.

Environment

Think of your tile as an extension of your personality – radiant and energetic, or subtle and sophisticated. Use your tile as an accent to your environment by picking up on surrounding decor and mirroring tone and color, or creating it’s own statement by splashing a band of color and pattern across your backyard view. Plan the whole environment out, and always trust your intuition.
