We are going to be installing waterline glass tile here next week on a pool renovation. We are thinking of using a tile contractor who we have used on the interior of our home, and they have done many outdoor water features, but not a waterline pool tile installation. The pool contractors around here want to charge $50sqft installed, not including the tile which we have already purchased.
Are these the main points we need to consider/convey?
Thank you!
Are these the main points we need to consider/convey?
- It has to be perfectly level, you can use soft forms by nailing them into the walls.
- Do you need to float an initial bed and let it cure or can you mud and set in one shot?
- Enough of a bed that the plaster floats into it as that will be the last step in refinishing the pool. Essentially, the mortar and tile need to come off the wall about 1/2 inch so there is no hump from the plaster.
- Use unsanded grout.
Thank you!
