I see this is an old thread, but we have NPT Arctic Lagoon (3 years old) and it is starting to chip off in our pool. Not entire tiles, just shards, which is worse. My kid got a piece stuck in his foot a few weeks ago. Happening to anyone else?

Interesting you ask, b/c I was going to post some questions about it soon. It is precast coping. I love the way it looked brand new (and in pool terms, it is still brand new), but it seems like there has been some discoloration in parts, probably due to the salt. It is along the busier side of...

I believe it was something like natural grey and my thinking is it varied hues depending on how much water they add but I'm not sure. Not anything I would change with the color necessarily but I would ensure that they don't mix a new batch of grout in the middle of a wall. We had one place where...

And we did use white thin set and grey grout.

We don't have any raised walls so you can't see it in all its glory. I believe there were some really good pics from a cypress Texas build. I would say from a distance, the tiles blend with the aqua white but up close there is quite a contrast. Looking at it straight on in the sun, it looks...

If you do go with glass, we did NPT Arctic Lagoon with our Aqua White mini and it is so very perfect.

I think I wanted a similar color, but probably more blue than green than you do (I wanted Windex). I liked the water color of Aqua Blue better, but we went with Aqua White b/c I liked the way the aggregate looked better (wanted less pebble look) and a lot of what you see is our shelf and steps...

Took awhile, but they raised the floor! The depths on the ends and middle didn't really change, but the slopes are better. Only 2-4" added in most areas but it makes a huge difference. On my next pool (which will likely never happen), I will know to request a cross section. Oh well, all's well...

Hi there - We are finally ready for plaster/pebble. Doubt they can get to us before next week, and we leave town for a week a few days after they would be done. The pebble needs brushing, right? I'm so anxious to be done with the pool, but am guessing it is in our best interest to wait until we...

Hi there - Is there a difference between Stonescapes Touch of Glass and Puerto Rican Blend? The website makes it seem like there is a difference (Puerto Rican blend has maybe smaller glass beads?), but I have a sample that says "Aqua Blue with Touch of Glass, Puerto Rican Blend", which makes it...

Finally a picture of Aqua White! Thanks! I have been looking for a non stock photo of it (currently agnozing between Aqua White, Cool, and Blue). I like it!

They are adding the gunite! And as far as I can tell, at no cost to me. It may be today if our PB can get someone to clean out the pool. Really happy (thus far) with our PB. I'll update after the shoot!

Thanks! Our PB uses NPT/Superior, as well! Went up there a few weeks ago, and although we have all the samples, pictures of finished pools seem to be lacking in those colors. I'm going to get with my hubby and see if he wants to see some in person and if a yes (and our PB doesn't have clients...

I think they are going to come and shoot more gunite. I should know a definite this week. The PB doesn't think it will be a problem and it should work out, but it depends if the gunite guy will warranty it to my PB who warranties it to me. The gunite people have been moving offices/warehouses...

Pretty cloudy when I took these. I love how they look different at different times of the day.

Does anyone have pictures of Aqua White mini pebble? I thought our PB was using Pebble Sheen and I had decided on Aqua Blue, but I was recently informed our choices are Stonescapes mini pebble or Wet Edge Satin Matrix. I kinda like the Aqua White sample, but can't really find any pictures. Our...

They were both so gorgeous, I couldn't decide, so I let my 8 year old make the decision :-). We ended up going with the Arctic Lagoon and they just installed it and it is beautiful! Now I need to decide on the pebble color!

Hi there - Our gunite was just shot last Thursday and I don't know how I feel about the slopes. The pool is rectangular 14X32, but the first ~8 feet are sunshelf/steps, meaning the swimming area is ~24 feet long. The plan was 3.5 to 5 to 4. Technically I think it falls within this range, but the...

Wow, the tile (and your entire pool) are gorgeous! I love the tile! Thank you for the photos - it really helps!

Ha! I went to the tile store yesterday before seeing your post and got a sample of the NPT Arctic in Lagoon b/c it is so beautiful. I noticed in the thread in your signature you were considering the Artistry in Mosaics in turquoise. That is another one I had my eye on, but he didn't have a...

Do you have pictures of the Arctic in Ice in your pool that you could share? I have been considering going light/whitish/irridescent, but can't find any picture of pools. Sounds gorgeous!

Hi there! First post! We are currently building a pool in Austin, TX. It will be 14x32 with a 6' shelf. It will have whiteish concrete coping (we are going with a SWG). I think we will be going with aqua blue pebble sheen, but not 100% sure yet. Assuming we did, I'm wondering if we should try to...
