All About Tile
Tile is used for two main purposes. Aesthetic purposes to create different looks to pools. Its other purpose is to keep the water from staining the plaster at its water line. Tiles are put on the perimieter to keep scum and dirt floating on the pool surface from adhering to the wall. The tile is easily wiped or brushed clean, whereas without the tile the plaster would have a black stain at the water line. Some pools use tile for the surface of the pool, but this is much more expensive than plaster and is very slippery. Standard tile depth is 6" from the top of the pool. Some older pools may have 8" tile. Of course some pools have raised walls that have many rows of 6" tile above water.
