Perimeter tile with a dark pool?

17 years ago

Hey,

We are hoping to add a pool to our life his fall. I am spending the summer doing research, etc. We have decided on a dark pool for that lagoon look. We are not sure about perimeter tile but I was wondering if any of you out there had that dark lagoon look and perimeter tile? If so can you post or point me towards some pics or describe what you went with?

Thanks!

Hi Lindsey. We are in considering the onyx and have a few questions.

1. How's it holding up?

2. Do you have any recent pictures?

3. Does the water in the pool warm up quicker with the darker color?

Thanks in advance.

That is a great idea. I think we might do something like it with our pool to also give the no diving zone a separate look. We have already had one adult bust their head open, even with warnings of shallower end and not to dive there. Also like the outside tiles being lighter. Thank you for sharing.
