I have just had the same dilemma re waterline tiles and I realised two things (if it helps)... Firstly it's the colour of the coping that I needed to match to, or compliment, the tile. And secondly, the colour of the tile matters if your pool is fully tiled, but if you are going with pebblecrete, then it's the colour of the pebblecrete that affects the colour of the pool and not the tile! First time pool builder, so who knew?! My fingers did do a lot of googling to decide on pebblecrete colours though. Good luck!

Sorry but the water line blue and white flowery tiles look old fashioned and if you're going for that kind of sandstone on the top it won't go with the terracotta tiles you have already Do like the pool and tiles that Hayda Natural Stone have posted Very nice!

That's a beautiful finish and blends so well with the surrounding tiles. I'm curious what the coping tiles looked like before...are they the yellowish ones that are being painted in the 1st photo, or is that prep work being done? May I ask what was used to prepare the surface so paint would adhere? Great job!

Hi Emma. As mentioned above, you can select a porcelain tile that is suitable for outdoor use. This can then be installed as your paving, coping and waterline similar to below. I would suggest 100-150mm of waterline tile as below. Otherwise we have installed pavers such as Anston or Stone Outdoors and then matched the colour with a porcelain waterline tile. https://www.anston.com.au/products/pool-coping-step-coping/ https://www.concreteredefined.com.au/pool/ Good luck with your project!
