As the weather starts to warm up and the sun starts to shine longer and brighter, you may find yourself daydreaming of being pool side. If you have a pool at your home, maybe you\u2019re thinking how you can enhance the pool you already have, or maybe you are envisioning the design of your dreams for a new swimming pool.<\/p>\n

There are many styles, designs, and types of pools to create at your home. Regardless of what type of swimming pool tile design you dream of, tile options to make your outdoor space a true oasis are endless.<\/p>\n

Patio and Beyond<\/h2>\n

When formulating your tile design plan, not only is the pool itself in need of design consideration, but the patio is as well. Lounging in the pool is only half of the summer fun, the other is gathering around the pool for relaxation and soaking up the sun. Therefore, having functional and aesthetically pleasing decking around the pool is just as necessary as pool components themselves.<\/p>\n

Porcelain<\/a> is a wonderful option to use for your indoor and outdoor surfaces because of its durability and low maintenance. Porcelain is an investment that lasts a lifetime as it appreciates in value over the ages. It is also very easy to maintain<\/a> and only needs to be wiped with a sponge or with a soap-less detergent to revitalize its luster. Not only can porcelain be used around the pool (in the appropriate finish), but it can create a seamless transition from the patio into the home if you want to run the same flooring throughout. Porcelain is also durable enough to be used within the pool, both submerged and at the waterline<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Outdoor flooring can often be wet, either from environmental factors or splashes from the pool, so the flooring should be a slip-resistant surface to avoid injury due to a fall. R11 Finish<\/a> comes highly recommended to help reduce the risk of such a fall. Needing to pass internationally recognized testing<\/a>, R11 Finish is the result of the material surface being modified during the production process to make the finish rougher (this will not impact the products aesthetic features). Let\u2019s look at a few great options that might be perfect for your swimming pool tile design that can be used as interior and exterior flooring, can come with the R11 Finish, and can be used within the pool, submerged and at the waterline:<\/p>\n
