cement. The result is a smooth textured, slip resistant surface that is easy on the skin and less likely to cause the cuts and abrasions typical of traditional aggregate pool finishes. Tile mosaics can add the finishing touch to any pool and spa fabricated in just about any size, shape, colour and design imaginable. Designs include; fish, shells, reef scenes, dolphins, beach balls, turtles, cartoon characters, mermaids, sports logos and the list goes on and on. Most mosaics are now available with a shadow design. The shadow design allows the mosaics to appear more realistic in the water and is a great option to consider. Tile mosaics are available from a variety of manufactures, some using small pieces of tile to others which use much larger tile pieces.
Mosaics can be installed on the floor of the pool and also on the side walls of the pool. Small items can also be installed on steps and benches but one must use caution when installing mosaics in these locations that the items will not be slippery when people are entering or exiting the pool or spa.
ORIGINAL STYLE’S STUNNING MOSAIC RANGE
Original Style has unveiled a brand new exclusive collection of 25mm Ezarri mosaics, which have been added to its extensive product portfolio.
This stunning new range with zero water absorption levels has been designed for use in all manner of leisure environments, including swimming pools, spas, steam rooms and wet areas.
A huge array of colours and textures are available and all products adapt to curved and uneven surfaces, making them not only exquisitely beautiful, but also highly versatile.
The ethereal Iris collection of iridescent glass mosaics offers 14 beautiful shades, including the dark and dramatic Ebano and the lustrous, shimmering Perla. Each of the striking colours offered in the palette is also greatly enhanced by both natural and superficial light which allows their sparkling aesthetic properties to really come alive. The Iris range is the perfect design solution for highlighting the beauty of water and it is also perfect for creating eye-catching feature walls, which will make the ultimate statement in any location. The luxurious Metal range is ideal for contemporary developments requiring a serious glamorous look and feel. Aurum, an opulent golden shade, is proving to be highly sought after especially for use in hot-tubs. The Niebla and Lisa ranges present an extensive colour palette of vibrant, solid shades, guaranteed to meet the requirements of even the most complex projects.
All of the new mosaics have fully glazed edges, allowing for a greater number of design permutations.
Bespoke designs can also be produced using any of the mosaics on offer, allowing clients the flexibility to personalise their own design schemes. The latest Mosaics collection also offers a host of anti-slip options, which are not only safety orientated, but also incredibly stylish. These safety critical options are ideal for beach entry level pools, step edges and floors within all manner of wet areas.
Many of the other products in the new collection are also available in an anti-slip format and several larger sizes are offered, including 36 x 36mm and 50 x 50mm.
This new collection also embodies the very highly-regarded ‘joint point’ system allowing for easy installation and maximum adhesion of the mosaics. Original Style is one of the UK’s leading tile manufacturers and offers the widest range of mosaics and tiles of all sizes and colours for use in pools, showers and wet rooms, as well as dry spa areas. The full Original Style collection comprises a select range of iridescent glass, porcelain and ceramic tiles and mosaics for swimming pools and a wider variety of natural stone, ceramic, glass and porcelain tiles for surrounding areas, offering the complete solution for all tiling requirements.
MOSAIC COMPANY SHOWS VERSATILITY IN PORCELAIN Whilst natural products such as limestone and travertine have long been popular for use as pool copings and decking, the increasing use of porcelain tiles specifically produced for use around pools continue to demonstrate not just the versatility and aesthetic appeal, but the qualities of low
maintenance, anti-bacterial glaze and consistent appearance over the course of time.
Porcelain is an extremely dense and hardwearing material with almost zero water absorption and with state of the art technology and inkjet printing processes, it is possible to produce tiles which faithfully mimic natural materials both in size and finish.
For example, the Forest series is a new range of glazed porcelain pool decking tiles, simulating natural wood in six colours (oak, cedar, cherry, maple, walnut and white) in the size 782.5 x 152.5 mm (31 x 6
