How to fix mosaic tiles in a swimming pool?
  1. Prepare the surface on which you are going to lay the mosaic tiles, cleaning it of dust and dirt and checking that it is not damp.
  2. Obtain the special adhesive for glass materials, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Not just any adhesive will do.
  3. Spread the layer of adhesive with a notched trowel.
  4. Place the mosaic tiles carefully and in alignment.
  5. Use a rubber float to tap the tiles and secure them properly to the adhesive layer.
  6. Clean off any excess adhesive.
  7. Respect the drying times before filling the gaps between the tiles with grout.
  8. Clean off any excess grout.
  9. Once the drying time recommended by the manufacturer has passed, it’s time to enjoy your pool!
How is mosaic tile sold?

Generally, mosaic tile is sold in boxes of 2 square metres. Each mosaic sheet is about 32 cm wide and long and is made up of tesserae joined together.

This joining can be done in different ways:

  • Silicone dot joining: The tesserae are connected by small dots of silicone, which are embedded in the adhesive once the sheets are fixed.

  • Mesh joining: A mesh connects the tesserae from the back, and this mesh is covered by the adhesive once installed.

  • Paper joining: The tesserae are glued on the top to a piece of paper, which can be easily removed after the sheet is fixed, leaving the mosaic visible.

Is the grout mortar the same as the adhesive mortar?

No. It shouldn’t be the same. The mortar used for grouting is continuously exposed to water and the chemicals dissolved in it, as well as to sunlight, making it the mortar that suffers the most over time.

There are specific mortars for grouting, so using a basic adhesive cement for grouting is not recommended. It looks fine at first, but doesn’t last long.

We recommend using a grout-specific adhesive. The more epoxy resin it contains, the longer it will maintain its properties.

Can loose tesserae be fixed without draining the pool?

Yes. There are products on the market suitable for this purpose. Currently, we recommend Fischer MS Special Pool adhesive, which seals, bonds, and fills in both chlorinated and saltwater pools, directly underwater.

In which areas of the pool is non-slip mosaic used?

Non-slip mosaic is usually only used in access or exit areas of the pool, such as stairs and external sunbathing zones very close to the exit. For the rest of the pool, floor and walls, non-slip mosaic is typically used.

Naturally, in shower areas, non-slip mosaic should be used.
