FAQ
What exactly is a pool mosaic?
Pool mosaics are decorative tile designs created from small glass or porcelain pieces, arranged to add character and style to your pool or spa. Similar to pool tile, mosaics come in a wide array of colors, sizes, and styles, making them ideal for customizing your aquatic space with personality and visual flair.
When should pool mosaics be installed?
The ideal time to install pool mosaics is during new construction or prior to applying the final plaster layer during resurfacing. While it’s possible to add them later, doing so may result in a raised profile, as they won’t sit flush with existing plaster.
What’s the difference between handcrafted and screen-printed mosaics?
Both are suitable for pool use. Handcrafted mosaics offer a more artistic, textured finish with slight variations, while screen-printed options provide ultra-detailed, photo-like visuals. Both styles enhance your pool’s aesthetic in their own unique way.
Is grout required for mosaic installation?
Yes. Because mosaics are made up of small pieces, grout is essential for filling joints and securing the image. It can be color-matched or blended into the plaster depending on your preference.
Which pool surfaces are best for mosaics?
Gunite or shotcrete pool shells are ideal, allowing the tile to be embedded just before plastering. Specialty adhesives provide strong bonds. Fiberglass and stainless steel pools are generally not recommended for traditional mosaic installs.
How should I care for pool mosaics?
Keep your mosaics clean with gentle brushing and regular vacuuming. Our U.S.-made tiles are built to resist fading, cracking, and staining - ensuring lasting beauty with minimal effort.
Why choose mosaics made in the USA?
American-made mosaics are manufactured to higher quality standards and offer better consistency, color, and longevity, plus faster delivery and local customer service support.
What are the advantages of mesh-mounted mosaics?
Mesh backing keeps tile patterns intact and spacing consistent, making installation easier - especially on curves or uneven surfaces. It also enhances bonding and speeds up the process.
How long do pool mosaics last?
When properly installed and maintained, frost-resistant glass and porcelain mosaics can last for decades. Our U.S.-made options are backed by lifetime warranties. Learn more at the TCNA.
Do frost-proof mosaics work in cold regions?
Yes. Designs like turtles, mermaids, and dolphins are made from frost-resistant materials, allowing them to perform well in freeze-thaw climates without cracking or fading.
What does adding a shadow effect do?
Shadowing creates a 3D illusion, making mosaics appear to float on the pool floor. This effect is especially striking with screen-printed designs, enhancing realism and depth.
What makes hand-painted mosaics stand out?
Each hand-painted piece is crafted by artisans in Florida, offering a unique design and handcrafted quality. They’re kiln-fired for durability, ensuring they won’t fade, crack, or discolor over time.
What are glow-in-the-dark mosaics made from?
Glow mosaics are crafted from durable resin infused with glow-in-the-dark pigments. Unlike surface coatings, the glow runs throughout the material. These tiles are chemical- and frost-resistant, and add a fun, glowing accent after dark.
