My "New" Pool in SCHERTZ, TX

Now that is as different as different can be! Interesting....... I wonder if it is different dye lots when they make the tile?

Yes! I wondered that too. It’s the same colors, just switched the predominant ones. I double checked the boxes to make sure they were the right one, but they were! We were short enough tile to do our step markers and benches, so hoping the next lot looks similar.

They can cut "bad" tiles out to get the colors closer to what you have if needed. Be VERY picky about what they do with the new ones.

Hi everyone! New voting pics today... Choosing Sundek decking color! So I have some pics of samples against my house in the sun and shade. I also have a pic of the samples against my gutter, which is very close to the color of the trim of my house, and is close to the ground where I can reach! Colors are Bone white, Franciscan Tan, and Kahlua. One thing to note is the bone white is SOOO bright, in full sun, you will need to wear sunglasses. (I usually wear sunglasses anyway, but friends might not??) Thanks!

I like the Kahlua color the best. But we were warned by friends that the SunDek coatings would have to be removed and replaced within 8-10 years so have been looking into concrete overlay instead. I have no personal experience, but you might want to ask around

 

[abill]

i like Kahlua as well

 

[TexasRain]

i like Kahlua as well

Me too, but which color do you prefer???? LOL j/k

 

[kimkats]

NOT bone white at all!

Either of the other two will look great. Just to help hide dirt I might go with the slightly darker one.

 

[kimkats]

Oh and how in the world are you going to pick between the two tiles??? Man both are SO pretty!!!!

I DON'T KNOW! That is why I'm asking y'all!!! Bahahaha

I think we are leaning towards the Franciscan Tan. My husband pointed out that in the shade the Kahlua has a purple tint...and now that is all I see.

Okay so here is my REAL vote after going back to look at the videos.............the colored ones have more "interest" than the black ones and will be fun to watch the different colors as the sun moves over them!

Do you think they would be REALLY mad if I ask them to replace every one of the yellow ones??? it is only one row of accent for the shelf, bench, and steps.

Set out a cooler full of cold water and Gator-aid with some yummies and they will love to do it for you! or at least it will take some of the sting out!

Thank you! I will for sure! And this is Texas so probably some breakfast tacos too!!!!

Do you have THE tile there now? If so I would be cutting out the ones on my own! That way not mistakes or left ones! (yeah I do have control and trust issues LOL)

LOL no it's not here... but I will try when it does!! I was just so surprised when my husband voted for the multicolor one! The more I watch the videos of the tiles under the water, the black ones almost look blue when the sun shines on them...I don't know! At least I have stopped looking at other tiles, that would add more decisions and I do not need more decisions in my life right now!
