Waterline Tile

The 6-inch band of tile at the water's edge — protects the plaster from scale and gives the pool its visual frame.

Waterline tile sits where water meets air, a zone that accumulates calcium scale and oils that would otherwise stain plaster. Material runs from $8/sf builder-grade ceramic to $80+/sf hand-laid glass mosaic.
