The final four! Getting so close!

Thanks for all the info. I have some homework to do. We started watering it yesterday, and I am watering it 3 times a day. My PB told us we must water twice a day for two weeks, and if I could do three, that would be better. We will put in our tile selections tomorrow AM. Andy

I also love that tile, and it's a very close second for the wall. The 6x6 was a second option.

So it has been a merry-go-round of tile choices. We have a new set of options. The former tiles have been eliminated and we are now down to these with the two biggest contenders being bottom right and top left. This was taken on an overcast day, but the tiles on the top left are pretty shiny...

https://www.troublefreepool.com/wiki/index.php?title=Waterline_Tile_Installation This was where I read about the installation being a big factor. From the article: "The thinset used to apply glass tile will need to be specified for use with glass and water submersion. Not all thinsets are the...

Thanks @ajw22 I have read their website and do plan on making a trip. From what I have gathered, it's not the type of tile, but more the skill of the labor and products used during installation, from, mortar to grout, to sealant. I have done some cursory looking and it seems inconclusive as to...

Another set of options. We are pretty set on the white tile as our "big wall" tile,now it's a question of spill way and waterline tile. I like the dark blue 1x2 but the multi-color 1x2 have a lot more glam.

Moved from here. So I am debating about glass tile for a pool wall I am building. Is there an opinion on pool glass tile vs. regular glass tile (for kitchens and bathrooms?

The wall is 4' and 3'. The blue paint is where the shear descents will be placed. The shotcrete is Friday, I might wait through the weekend so I can see the pool in it's rough format, and take measurement of the wall to see how the tile will fit.

We have two schemes picked out, the big tile would be the big wall with the others being the waterline and or the spillover tile. Leaning toward the geometric pattern of the light gray tile as the big wall. Any thoughts? @kimkats

It looks like you broke the website. It's not opening for me. I'll check back a little later.

Does anyone recognize this tile? I have a few that are similar, but the horizontal striping is the unique feature I can't seem to find.

The most wonderful time of the build! It's time to cull some tile and make some decisions. We have the big pool wall, water line and spillover tile to figure out by the end of the week. The elimination process starts today.

Plumbing started today and everything is going as planned. Or at least from what my untrained eye can tell. One thing is that came up is that we did not discuss jet height with our PB, and he put in what he felt was standard. I read a few other threads where jet height was somewhat debated. I...
