Contemporary Pool Mosaics

Pool mosaics are decorative designs created from small porcelain or glass tiles, arranged to form patterns or images in swimming pools and spas. Similar to standard pool tile, mosaics are available in many colors, shapes, and sizes, adding a distinctive, artistic touch to any pool design.

Pool mosaics are best installed during initial pool construction or resurfacing, before the final plaster finish is applied. While they can be added afterward, post-construction installation often leaves mosaics slightly raised above the surface instead of flush with the plaster.

Both styles are durable, pool-rated, frost-proof, and include a lifetime warranty. Screen-printed mosaics feature high-resolution, photo-realistic designs, while handmade mosaics provide a more artistic, handcrafted appearance. The decision comes down to the look you want - both deliver lasting beauty for pools and spas.

Yes. Because mosaics are made up of many small tiles, grout is essential for proper installation. You can use premium grout like our Starlike EVO collection, or grout them with plaster. For the best visual result, choose a grout color that complements the design.

For optimal results, install mosaics on gunite or shotcrete pool shells before plastering. High-performance mortar allows the mosaic to sit slightly above the surface so the plaster can create a smooth transition. These tiles are not recommended for stainless steel or fiberglass pools due to adhesion limitations.

Cleaning is simple - gently scrub the mosaic surface and vacuum the pool as needed to remove dirt and debris. All U.S. made mosaics come with a lifetime warranty against cracking, staining, fading, or discoloration.

Made in the USA mosaics deliver exceptional craftsmanship and strict quality control. They’re designed for long-term durability in harsh pool environments, and also offer faster shipping and responsive customer support.

Mesh-mounted mosaics make installation easier by keeping tiles evenly spaced and aligned. This ensures straight grout lines and consistent placement, even on curves or irregular surfaces. Mesh backing also enhances adhesion and long-term performance.

Our mosaics are frost-proof and built to last for decades. With proper installation and care, they maintain their color and integrity for years. U.S. made handcrafted mosaics include a lifetime warranty. Learn more about durability standards here.

Screen-printed mosaics use kiln-fired imagery on premium porcelain for detailed, realistic designs. Each piece is waterjet-cut, mesh-mounted, and vacuum-sealed for safe delivery. Produced in Florida by Custom Mosaics, they combine precision craftsmanship with durability.

Frost-proof mosaics, featuring designs like dolphins, turtles, mermaids, and medallions, are made from non-porous porcelain or glass. These materials resist water absorption, preventing freeze damage, and are also UV- and chemical-resistant for long-lasting performance.

Yes. A shadow effect creates a 3D illusion, making the mosaic appear to float above the pool floor. This look is especially striking with our screen-printed mosaics, which are designed for lifelike realism.

Hand-painted mosaics are original artworks crafted by skilled Florida artisans. Each tile has its own unique character, offering a personalized, high-end finish. Like all our mosaics, they are frost-proof and guaranteed for life.

Our glow-in-the-dark mosaics are made from a durable resin infused with luminescent phosphors, providing glow throughout the entire tile - not just the surface. Pool-safe, chemical-resistant, and frost-proof, they are manufactured in the USA by Element Glo, adding both fun and visibility to nighttime swimming.
