The quality and durability of our swimming pool mosaics make them a perfect design element for use in applications other than a swimming pool. Customers have put both our standard mosaics and mosaics which our customer requested. Our mosaics have been installed on exterior and interior walls, indoor and outdoor kitchens, bathrooms walls and floors, man caves, fireplace surrounds, entryways, outdoor custom-made bars and even to spruce up pool equipment storage units. The possibilities are only limited by your creativity. Below, you will find photos sent to us showing how our customers have used swimming pool mosaics other than in a pool.
Exterior and Interior Walls
Here is an example of how a customer used our standard mosaics on an exterior wall inlaid with field tile. Although this is a common approach, it does require considerable labor to cut the tile to fix around the standard mosaics. The customer could get their contractor to do the cutting to inlay the mosaics during installation or the customer could send us their field tile for us to inlay the mosaics for them, making it just like a larger mosaic. Another approach is to take advantage of our new Photo Mural process which imprints the scene on 6” x 6” tile, making it easy for installation.
Another example is a very simple adornment to an exterior sitting area. In this case, the Sun medallion is used as an accent piece to brighten up the area.
Typically in residential interior wall applications, our ceramic mosaics are used as art. Regular wall art usually does not allow for the free flow of a design. Wall art is usually constrained by a frame. As you can see from the example below, this design allows for free flow, unconstrained by a frame.
In commercial interior wall applications, our custom mosaics are typically used as corporate logos. This example shows how a hotel used its corporate logo on the wall behind the registration desk.
Indoors and Outdoors Kitchens
People are looking for ways to make their kitchens unique. One way is to inlay ceramic mosaics into the backsplash. In the two examples below, the customer requested a custom Loggerhead Turtle for one and a custom Rooter scene for the other, which they had inlaid in the backsplash just above their range. Our mosaics are the same thickness as the field tile, so when installed, the mosaic is a seamless part of the backsplash.
The same concept can be used in your outdoor kitchen. In the examples below, one customer used one of our standard designs, the Desert Sun. This customer very cleverly avoided having to inlay the mosaic by the design use of the glass wall tile. In the other example, the customer asked us to make a custom Hot Pepper design. In this case, the installation was easy because there was no field tile involved.
