The Process

1) Choose your design

3) Art and Screen departments

1) Choose your design

Customers tile design sketched onto paper

What look are you trying for? Spanish, Moroccan, Mid-Century Modern, Art Deco, Modern? The internet is a great place to search for ideas. Googling “Portuguese tile designs” will display images that cross many genres of design. Or draw your own. Did you find a tile design you like but it is not a pool rated tile? We won’t create a tile using another companies design, however we can modify nearly any image to give you the same look. Once you have decided on a basic design, our graphics department will work with you to make sure it is just what you want.

Keep in mind that we also have many stock designs that allow you to choose your colors.

2) Pick your colors

3) Art and Screen departments

Come of the many available ceramic colors

Due to the harsh swimming pool environment (and the high temperatures that our tiles must be fired to) some ceramic colors are somewhat limited in range. Contact us and we can send you color sheets or tile color samples. For a small fee, we can also develop custom colors. After you choose your design and colors, you will receive a color proof for approval.
