Our coordinating designs complement your outdoor living space, creating a seamless aesthetic between your pool walls and surrounding landscape.
Commercial & Resort Pools

Heritage & Restoration Projects
Historically accurate reproduction tiles bring vintage pool restorations back to their original splendor. Traditional Middle Eastern and Mediterranean tile patterns—including mosaics and geometric designs—honor the rich heritage of ceramic craftsmanship. Our artisans excel at custom matching of existing historical tile designs, making the difference between a noticeable repair and an invisible restoration.
Choose the Right Waterline Tiles for Your Pool Type
The perfect waterline tile enhances both function and beauty while withstanding your pool’s specific conditions.
Saltwater Pools
High-fired ceramic tiles with enhanced chemical resistance protect against salt corrosion that damages lesser materials. Non-porous glazed surfaces prevent salt mineral buildup along the pool waterline, eliminating the discoloration that plagues standard pool tiles. Easy-to-clean finishes maintain their vibrant colors even in harsh saltwater conditions, providing years of trouble-free beauty.
Chlorinated Pools
Chemically resistant glazes withstand chlorine exposure without fading or damage, keeping your aqua and dark blue tones brilliant season after season. Dense ceramic bodies prevent chemical penetration and staining that can occur with porous materials. Smooth surfaces resist algae, dirt, and bacteria growth, making maintenance simple and keeping your pool area pristine.
Natural & Eco-Friendly Pools
Earth-tone ceramic tiles blend seamlessly with natural pool environments, enhancing the organic aesthetic of biological filtration systems. Lead-free glazes ensure safety for natural swimming pool ecosystems where chemical use is minimized. Organic patterns inspired by nature and traditional pottery techniques create harmony between your pool and its surroundings.
Freeze-Prone Climate Pools
Frost proof ceramic tiles tested for freeze-thaw durability protect your investment in cold climates. Low-absorption ceramic bodies (under 0.5% water absorption for porcelain-grade tiles) prevent cracking when temperatures drop below freezing. Thermal shock resistant glazes handle the dramatic temperature swings that occur when heat and chemicals used in pool maintenance meet winter conditions.
Superior Materials and Heritage Craftsmanship
Every waterline tile is crafted using time-honored techniques passed down through four generations of Armenian ceramic artisans.
Premium Ceramic Bodies
High-fired stoneware delivers maximum water resistance and durability that surpasses standard swimming pool tiles. Low-porosity ceramic prevents water absorption and chemical damage—our tiles are highly durable with absorption rates meeting strict pool industry standards. Consistent thickness and precise dimensions in popular sizes like 6 x 6 inches ensure professional installation with proper alignment along your entire pool waterline.
Hand-Painted Glazes
Lead-free, food-safe glazes applied by skilled ceramic artists guarantee both safety and artistry in every tile. UV-resistant colors maintain vibrancy under constant sun exposure, eliminating the fading that affects inferior pool tiles. Chemical-resistant finishes withstand pool chemicals, including chlorine, bromine, and saltwater sanitizing systems without degradation.
Traditional Firing Techniques
High-temperature kiln firing creates superior strength and water resistance that protects against cracking and damage. Multiple firing stages ensure glaze durability and color stability, locking in the light blue, dark blue, and custom colors that define your pool’s character. Quality control testing verifies thermal shock and freeze resistance before any tile leaves our workshop.
Design Options and Artistic Styles
From traditional Mediterranean patterns to completely custom artistic visions, create waterline tiles that make your pool truly unique.
Classic Mediterranean Patterns
Traditional blue and white geometric designs inspired by Jerusalem’s heritage bring centuries of artistic tradition to your pool edge. Arabesque and Islamic geometric patterns offer sophisticated pool borders with intricate detail that captures the eye. Hand-painted vine and floral motifs in classic Mediterranean color palettes add organic beauty to any swimming pool design.
Modern Contemporary Designs
Clean lines and minimalist patterns suit contemporary pool aesthetics where simplicity meets elegance. Bold color combinations and abstract artistic interpretations allow creative expression beyond traditional tile designs. Textured surfaces and dimensional tile designs enhance modern luxury pools with depth and visual interest that standard porcelain pool tiles cannot achieve.
Custom Artistic Murals
Underwater scenes and marine life painted across multiple waterline tiles transform your pool into an immersive environment. Landscape and architectural scenes customized to your location create one-of-a-kind installations for discerning homeowners. Family heraldry, logos, or personal artistic visions are translated into ceramic by our master artisans, making your pool a true reflection of your identity.
