FAQ
What is a pool mosaic?
Pool mosaics are decorative designs created from small glass or porcelain tiles that bring character and style to your pool or spa. Similar to pool tile, they are available in a wide range of colors, themes, and patterns - from sea life and nature-inspired motifs to modern geometric styles - giving you endless ways to personalize your pool’s design.
When is the best time to install a pool mosaic?
The best time to install a mosaic is during new pool construction or right before resurfacing, just prior to the final plaster coat. While installation after plaster is possible, it can leave the design slightly raised above the surface.
How do screen-printed mosaics differ from handcrafted mosaics?
Both are engineered for underwater use, but they offer different aesthetics. Screen-printed mosaics deliver detailed, photo-realistic images, while handcrafted designs provide a more artistic, one-of-a-kind look. Each adds its own unique personality and long-lasting beauty to your poolscape.
Do pool mosaics require grout?
Yes. Grout secures the design and ensures long-term durability. Whether set directly into plaster or grouted traditionally, using a premium tile grout like Starlike EVO helps maintain strength and color vibrancy over time.
Where can pool mosaics be installed?
Mosaics adhere best to gunite or shotcrete pool surfaces prior to plaster application. These bases provide excellent bonding and a smooth finish. Fiberglass and stainless steel pools are less ideal due to weaker adhesion.
How should pool mosaics be maintained?
Care is simple: gently clean with a soft brush, avoid harsh chemicals, and keep water chemistry balanced. Our U.S.-made mosaics are crafted to resist fading, cracking, and staining - and they’re backed by a lifetime warranty.
Why choose American-made pool mosaics?
American-made mosaics deliver superior craftsmanship, consistent quality, and dependable coloring. Supporting domestic manufacturing also often means faster shipping compared to imported options.
What are the benefits of mesh-mounted mosaics?
Mesh-mounted mosaics make installation easier by keeping tile pieces evenly spaced and aligned. This method is especially helpful on curves and ensures a professional, long-lasting finish.
How long do pool mosaics last?
With proper installation and upkeep, pool mosaics can last for decades. Our frost-resistant glass and porcelain options withstand weather extremes and chemicals, and are backed by a lifetime warranty. For standards and technical guidance, visit the TCNA.
What makes screen-printed pool mosaics unique?
Screen-printed mosaics are created by transferring artwork onto porcelain tiles, then kiln-fired, waterjet cut, mesh-mounted, and vacuum-sealed. Crafted in Florida by Custom Mosaics, they combine vivid imagery with lasting durability.
Are frost-proof mosaics suitable for cold climates?
Yes. Designs such as turtles, mermaids, dolphins, and medallions are crafted from durable materials that withstand freeze-thaw cycles, chemicals, and UV rays - perfect for any climate.
Why add a shadow effect to pool mosaics?
Shadow detailing gives mosaics a three-dimensional appearance, making the artwork look as though it’s floating under the water’s surface. This effect enhances visual depth, especially in screen-printed mosaics.
What makes hand-painted pool mosaics special?
Hand-painted mosaics are crafted by skilled Florida artisans, making each design slightly different and truly unique. Despite their custom, artistic appeal, they are built to endure pool conditions without fading or deterioration.
What are glow-in-the-dark pool mosaics made of?
Glow-in-the-dark mosaics are made from durable resin infused with glow pigments throughout the tile, not just on the surface. This makes them resistant to fading, chemicals, frost, and UV rays - while adding a playful glow to your pool at night.
