Mosaic Tiles for Swimming Pools

Custom Gresite for Your Pool

Gresite is the most commonly used coating for concrete pools. It is a vitreous coating material ideal for both private and public pools. Its lifespan is exceptional, as it is one of the most moisture-resistant materials on the market. It is a pressed and then fired vitreous mosaic. The vitreous layer is waterproof and prevents water absorption. Additionally, it resists chemical products, making it the ideal material for your pool’s coating. Gresite is practically unalterable (resistant to thermal shock, etc.) and easy to clean and install.

Gresite Features

Gresite is a very durable material and, due to its quality-price ratio, it has become the best option for coating our pool. Scratch hardness is an important aspect to consider when choosing your coating. This smooth vitreous gresite coating has a scratch hardness value of 4 on the Mohs scale (scale from 1 to 10). Broadly speaking, this coating stands out for the following qualities:

Excellent water insulator, with an absorption rate below 0.1%

Zero porosity, making it highly impermeable to liquids.

Resistant to chemical products (household cleaning products, pool salts, acids and bases at high concentration).

Stain resistant (removable with hot water)

Resistant to thermal shock and frost

High durability

Colour remains unchanged when exposed to sunlight and over time

Ideal format for curved surfaces

Gresite Installation in Pools

Installing gresite is a simple task that must be done meticulously to achieve the best results and total durability of the coating. The gresite we offer is prepared with polyurethane dots. These create a separation between sheets that facilitates the homogeneous installation of all sheets as they act as a stop between sheet and sheet. When installing the coating, you should first clean the surface and apply tile adhesive. Once these tasks are done, carefully attach the gresite sheets to the surface, pressing evenly so that all the polyurethane dots on the sheet are fully adhered. Remember that once all sheets are attached and the surface cleaned, you will need to fill the joints to achieve an optimal finish. Keep in mind that this filler must be moisture-resistant to prevent mould growth.
