A tile-wrapped pool creates a point of difference in any backyard. If you have a raised spa or pool wall, step up the elegance by extending your tiles along the outer walls of your pool. 

This is a particularly stunning design feature when using charcoal grey tiles or white and dove grey tones. 

Make a statement by tiling the entire pool in your chosen monochromatic colour. 

Or use a classic turquoise in the water and wrap your edges in a colour that complements your home and garden.

Does pool tile change the colour of the water?

Yes, pool tiles can change the colour of pool water. Light-coloured pool tiles reflect more light and make your pool look brighter, while dark pool tiles absorb light and make your pool look darker.

This is called “light refraction” and affects how the pool appears depending on the type of tile you use.

On top of that, it’s important to remember that the colour of your pool can be affected by different outdoor elements such as,

• The colour of the sky at any given time
• Shadowing from trees and buildings
• The depth of the pool

The surrounding colours in terms of coping, paving and even your home’s exterior paint can also influence the in the pool’s tone of colour.
