Durability: Our ceramic mosaics are made from frost-proof ceramic or frost-proof porcelain. In both cases, the top surface of each piece has a high-fired glass glaze which gives a high sheen and allows the color to last for the life of your application. The material from which the mosaics are made will withstand the harsh environment of a swimming pool or the cold of winter if installed properly.
Maintenance: Our ceramic mosaics are relatively easy to clean and maintain. For applications outside of the pool, all you need to do is use a non-abrasive cleaner and wipe down the mosaic with a clean cloth. Depending on the application, you may need to clean the grout line as with any tile, wall, or floor.
