Project Spotlight: Semi-Precious Stone Mosaics Pool

Designed for an ultra-private seaside California home, this incredible pool was installed with Lapis Lazuli, a semi-precious stone, and pool surrounds with a natural travertine tile. The private residence pool, which faces the beach alongside the Pacific Ocean, was installed by Jimmy Reed and his team from Rock Solid Tile, Inc. - an elite tile contractor which over the years has taken the process of installing tile for swimming pools to the ultimate level.

To ensure the project would stand the test of time, Reed chose to use a full LATICRETE installation system for the pool, as well as LATAPOXY® 300 Adhesive for the travertine surrounds. Reed states that when working on any pool project his firm’s job doesn’t begin or end with the visuals.  "As far as we're concerned, it has to be a bulletproof installation which lasts a lifetime. Any failures occurring after the tile installation are not an option." Click here to read the full Project Spotlight.

Jimmy Reed Chats with Tributary Revelation!

Project by Jimmy Reed, Rock Solid Tile

High-end pool installer, Jimmy Reed of Rock Solid Tile, Inc., talks about his waterproofing method, products, and his top 3 MUST Dos to solutions and success on page 17 in an article featured in Tributary Revelation.

An extract from the article:

“There are many discussions on the perils of waterproofing gone wrong, the complications the process can lead to and the liabilities that can spell disaster. I have devised my own personal process that I have tested in the field for many years. I stand by my method of solidity, and will be sharing my exact steps with you.

Here is a quick overview on MY go-to process. If you have questions, contact LATICRETE Team - as they are always available to help! I always start with a clean shell of new concrete - this is an important beginning step, as tile pools can be very tedious and require a solid waterproofing product over the concrete shell."  Check out the full article here.

WATERtv - Live Video on Swimming Pool Glass Tile

A great and informative video by WATERtv, Stonecrest Pools Inc. and Rock Solid Tile Inc.

"Having a tile finish plan from the landscape architect or designer proves vital to the project success. The finish plan will help save time, money on project cost and delays. It will also help in quality control and expectations from the client and Landscape architect. Glass tile is very appealing in submerged applications. Its jewelry in the garden! 

Key things to consider in tile selection is absorption rate of tile, high coefficient of friction be freeze/thaw resistant, resistant to moisture expansion and chemical resistant. Selection of mounting method for glass tile is also key for great installation. Paper face or plastic mounted glass tile is important for the selection of glass tile and the success for quality installation for glass tile swimming pools. This method insures good coverage of thin set and provides great bound to the thin set and glass tile. Mesh back tile is another option but making sure what type of mesh and glue is used from tile manufactory is important to make sure you have quality mesh back tile. Stayed tuned to WATERtv for the release of the first ever submerged tile training video brought to by WATERtv and Team Laticrete."
