4 Things You Must Check Before Buying Pool Mosaic Tiles

There is nothing more refreshing under the Australian sun than to cool yourself down in your swimming pool whilst enjoying a cool drink.

It's not often that you get to choose your swimming pool tiles and pool waterline tiles.  Many have difficulty when it comes to choosing the right glass pool mosaic tiles. Some think that any glass mosaic tiles can be used in a swimming pool but that is not the case.

Here, we have made a list of 4 things you should check before you can be confident you have made the right choice.

Adhesion

When glass mosaic is submerged under water for an extended period, the water can find its way in between the tiles and the substrate. This may cause an adhesion failure, resulting in pieces of mosaics popping out.

To prevent this from occurring, it's critical that you choose a mosaic that allows for the maximum adhesion to the substrate, at least 85% of surface area. For this reason, it is advisable to avoid all types of mesh-back mosaic tiles, as the mesh could compromise the adhesion, causing the adhesion to fail.

Texture

The texture is another important factor to consider when purchasing glass pool mosaic tiles. You wouldn't want any of your family and friends to scratch or cut themselves on any sharp edges. It's important that you choose a type of mosaic that has smooth edges. Also choose an installer who is experienced in laying glass pool mosaic tiles.

The aforementioned Ocean range of glass pool mosaic tiles have smooth edges, making them more practical and smooth to the touch.

The Look of Pool Waterline Tiles

Because glass pool mosaic tiles are mostly used outside and under water, it is advisable to take the glass mosaic sheet outside, place it under water so that you get an accurate view of what it will end up looking like.

Price

This is obviously one of the main factors you consider when making your choice.  There are many retail stores who will try to justify their overly inflated prices. It's normal to find these pool glass mosaic tiles priced at over $100 per square metre in tile retail stores.
