FAQ
What is a pool mosaic?
Pool mosaics are decorative designs created from small pieces of glass or porcelain tile that add character and personality to your pool or spa. Much like pool tile, these mosaics come in a variety of styles, colors, and themes - from aquatic creatures to intricate geometric patterns - allowing for complete customization of your pool’s look.
When is the best time to install a pool mosaic?
The ideal time to install a mosaic is during new pool construction or just before resurfacing - prior to applying the final plaster coat. While installation after plaster is possible, it may result in a raised surface since the mosaic won’t be flush with the surrounding finish.
How do screen-printed mosaics differ from handcrafted ones?
Both are designed for submerged environments. Screen-printed mosaics offer vivid, detailed imagery with a photo-realistic finish, while handcrafted options deliver a more artistic and one-of-a-kind feel. Each style brings its own aesthetic and lasting appeal to your poolscape.
Do I need grout to install a pool mosaic?
Yes. Grout is essential to secure the mosaic and protect the design over time. Whether embedded into plaster or traditionally grouted, using a high-performance tile grout like Starlike EVO helps ensure durability and vibrant color retention.
Where can pool mosaics be applied?
Mosaics adhere best to gunite or shotcrete pool surfaces before plaster is added. These substrates provide a secure bond and smooth application. Fiberglass and stainless steel pools aren’t ideal due to limited adhesion potential.
How do you care for pool mosaics?
Regular maintenance is simple, gently clean tiles with a soft brush, avoid harsh chemicals, and maintain proper water chemistry. Our mosaics are made in the U.S. and engineered to resist fading, staining, and cracking. Plus, they’re backed by a lifetime warranty for peace of mind.
Why choose American-made pool mosaics?
American made mosaics offer exceptional quality, precise craftsmanship, and consistent coloring. They support domestic manufacturing and often ship faster than imported options.
What are the benefits of mesh-mounted mosaics?
Mesh-mounted mosaics simplify installation by keeping tile pieces evenly spaced and aligned. This is especially helpful on curved surfaces and helps ensure a strong, even finish that holds up over time.
How long will pool mosaics last?
When installed properly and maintained well, pool mosaics can last decades. Our frost-resistant glass and porcelain mosaics are backed by a lifetime warranty and withstand harsh chemicals and weather. For more technical details, visit the TCNA.
What makes screen-printed pool mosaics unique?
Screen-printed mosaics are created by transferring detailed artwork directly onto porcelain tiles, which are then kiln-fired, waterjet cut, mesh-mounted, and vacuum-sealed. Crafted in Florida by Custom Mosaics, they deliver stunning visuals and long-term durability.
Are frost-proof mosaics good for cold climates?
Yes! Designs like turtles, mermaids, dolphins, and medallions are made from durable materials that resist freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, and pool chemicals, making them ideal for any climate.
Why add a shadow effect to a mosaic?
Shadow effects give your mosaic a three-dimensional look, making it appear as if the design is floating below the surface. This technique adds depth and drama, especially to screen-printed mosaics.
What’s special about hand-painted pool mosaics?
Hand-painted mosaics are crafted by skilled Florida artisans. Each piece is slightly different, adding a personalized touch. Despite their artistic flair, they’re built to endure pool conditions without fading or deterioration.
What are glow-in-the-dark pool mosaics made from?
These mosaics are crafted from a durable, plastic-based resin that’s fully infused with glow pigments. Because the color runs throughout the tile - not just the surface - they’re long-lasting and resistant to chemicals, frost, and UV exposure, making them perfect for nighttime fun in the pool.
