As you enter a backyard or commercial property, one of the first details of a pool you may notice is the tile at the waterline. You will say, “wow, that is beautiful, or ugh” that is not so beautiful”. However, that tile is more than just a beautiful or ugly decorative accent.

When choosing a pool builder to install tiles, you must know that it is essential to not only select the perfect tile for you but also know that proper installation is vital. At Cox Pools, we pride ourselves in our professional and expertise tile installation.

Each shotcrete pool we build has a section of tile under the pool’s coping, which is the cement overhang swimmers hold onto while in the pool. The pool’s water level should be kept at a height where half the tile is underwater. Body oils and other dirt collects on the tile, which is easier to clean than the plaster, so the tile surface helps prevent permanent water lines around your pool.
