A Splash
Of Colour
When it comes to pool design, it can be difficult to break away from the traditional concrete finish to find that perfectly unique touch that suits you.
Luckily, for those who dare to be different, mosaic tiles are a simple yet effective way to inject vibrance, character, and colour to your pool. Bridget Armitage from Sydney Pool + Outdoor Design chats with managing director of Europe Imports, Carl Yench, to discuss how mosaic tiles can add a whole new level of class and creativity to your pool, and why quality tiles can ensure that this unique artwork will stand the test of time.
For more than 18 years, Europe Imports has been pushing boundaries to develop and import the highest quality products when it comes to swimming pool construction materials and mosaic installation systems. In the time since its inception, Yench and his team of expert tradespeople have managed to secure exclusive national distribution rights to highly acclaimed Ezarri Glass mosaics, a top-quality, stunning range of versatile tiles. The company’s wide range of products allows the team to take on practically any mosaic design you could ask for, and with a wealth of experience and know-how, these pool design veterans around the perfect people to guide us through the wonderful world of mosaics.
DIVE IN
Mosaic tiles are a perfect way to add a smooth, vibrant feel to what may otherwise be a rough or bland finish of your pool. The unmatchable feeling of mosaic tiles on your bare feet is the perfect final touch that just sings luxury. The vibrancy that is held within the colours of mosaic tiles also make for an eye-catching spectacle. A carefully chosen palette can wildly enhance the overall vision for your outdoor space, complementing your surrounding landscaping and furnishings.
Ezarri Glass mosaics in particular provide an outstanding texture and look, with a variety of colours and unique patterns available. “Ezarri is the preferred tile to use by builders and tilers,” Yench states. The Ezarri Glass mosaic tiles even feature their own unique JointPoint system – a more seamless and effective way to accurately lay tiles for that perfect finish, as Yench explains. This revolutionary technology creates a quick and easy install that will allow you to enjoy your outstanding new pool or spa in no time.
MOSAIC OR BREAK
When it comes to quality, mosaic tiles certainly won’t let you down. Their smooth finish lends itself to upkeep, creating an easy-to-clean surface that just lasts. Yench notes that the Ezarri tiles in particular will not stain and are a breeze to maintain, as they are made from 100 percent recycled glass. “All orders are sent with a lifetime guarantee of 25 years on aesthetics and durability,” he adds. This peace of mind allows you to kick back and enjoy your pool or spa without a worry.
On top of this, the quality of your water for both the health of you and your pool will benefit for this easily cleaned finish. “You will use less chemicals in your pool due to their flat surface,” explains Yench. Your hair and skin will thank you for the lack of harsh chemicals in your water, allowing to kick back with peace of mind.
COLOUR ME IMPRESSED
With a myriad of colour choices, any look you could imagine can be realised with mosaic tiles. From subtle, stunning blues that accentuate the water to a full-blown, intricate art piece, mosaic tiles can do it all. At Europe Imports, the wide range of Ezarri Glass mosaics gives everyone the opportunity to find the perfect tile to match their pool and personality.
The most popular options at Europe Imports according to Yench are in their basic range, a selection of their six top colours which are refined and classic. This includes Lisa 2545-A, Eggshell, Niebla 2505-A, Polar Blue, Niebla 2508-A and Baby Blue. These traditional yet gorgeous shades of blue and white work to create a pool that is vibrant while still complementing and blending into the water.
For those looking to make a statement, Yench suggests Europe Imports’ own Australian Designer White Russian mosaic tile. “The mix was [created in the traditional methods] by me,” he notes. The tile is a fascinating combination of four white mosaic tiles: the Lisa 2545-A, the Metallica Nickel, the Iris Perla, and the Vulcano Tiede. “We have specified this mix to many clients looking for a designed and unique look,” Yench explains.
