Swimming Pool Waterline Tiles
To tile or not to tile your pool with swimming pool waterline tiles? This can be a big decision when building your new concrete swimming pool.
Did you know fully tiled pools can be up to 5 degrees cooler than a Pebble Crete pool? Not to mention it can be an expensive and time-consuming project to have your pool fully tiled.
However, there is a happy medium to creating the perfect balance of beauty and cost effectiveness – and we think it looks amazing!
Entering the discussion is Waterline Tiles!
Let’s talk about the beauty of tiles and how creative you can get with waterline tiles in your new swimming pool. The selection of tiles is so varied – glass, mosaic, patterned, classic, modern, blue, green, pink, white or even black. Each colour will provide a completely different look and can be 100% personalised to your home, backyard and pool surroundings.
Endless Possibilities
Whether you want a contrasting, colourful edge along the waterline of your concrete swimming pool, or you are looking to match the tile band with the colours of your house trim, maybe you want a seamless finish to match your pool water colour, the lux look of white waterline tiles or love the idea of using a tile colour to match your pool coping which will give you the look of a solid edge, the design possibilities are endless!
And you don’t have to stop there. What about step or ledge tiles. We like to call them safety edge tiles because they bring focus to the edge of ledges, swim outs and pool steps for easy visibility. They also provide some great safety features by highlighting the depth of the water when your friends and family are entering or leaving the pool – no more stubbing or scraping your toes. Go bold and fully tile your steps or sitting ledge to really make a statement, tiling the full surface of steps and ledges will create a ‘high end’ look, providing a smoother surface for you to sit on and save your bathers from the potential of snagging.
Get Creative
What about adding a starfish, turtle or dolphin design tile along the step edge or ledges – or make a bold statement and add a large whale, shark or crocodile in the centre of your pool, step or ledge – just to name a few creative ideas. Check out some fun and creative design styles from The Pool Tile Company.
Loose the ring
Through everyday use and things like sunscreen, makeup, body oils, dust, leaves and debris, as well as pool chemicals and salt, your swimming pool will build up a line along the waterline (think bath ring – but on a much larger scale). Having a waterline tile on your new Bali Pools swimming pool will help make cleaning the water edge easier – no more hours wasted scrubbing away with a brush!
Make your pool a one-of-a-kind by choosing a waterline tile to compliment or contrast your swimming pool area.
