Use Guide
Pool Waterline Details
The waterline is where the pool meets the landscape, so its detailing matters. A continuous band of pool edge tile in a tone that harmonises with paving and planting frames the water cleanly. Coordinating pool step tile along stairs and benches keeps level changes legible and comfortable for bare feet.
Colour Bands
Colour at the waterline can make the pool feel deeper, brighter, or more natural. Choosing hues that connect to tile pool floor tones ensures the eye reads one continuous volume of water. Lighter tiles show off clarity, while slightly darker bands hide everyday marks and sunscreen residue.
Maintenance Considerations
Tiles at this height see a lot of movement from sun, chemicals, and cleaning tools. Selecting durable bodies and finishes for pool edge tile and pool step tile is essential. Smooth yet slightly textured surfaces are easier to wipe down while still offering enough grip for swimmers resting at the edge.
Connecting Features
The waterline is also a good place to reference other materials in the garden. Picking a pool edge tile that echoes stone on nearby walls or steps helps tie water, paving, and architecture together so the whole outdoor room feels unified.
