Glass Tiled Pools: Trends In Arizona Landscape Designs
Contributed By: BAG EditorsWhen it comes to tiling pools, porcelain is out and glass tile is so in. Glass tile has become the leading choice for tiling pools in recent years. It’s glassy surface and color durability make it a top choice. Glass tile captures the light in a beautiful way that really complements and almost mirrors water movement. Glass also does not fade or discolor for long periods of time, which makes it extremely desirable in pool tiling since it is some what of a back breaking and expensive job to have to re-do down the road.
Pools are major landscape projects. Many homeowners feel that if they are going to spend the money to install a pool that will take up much of their backyards, then they want it to be a beautiful feature that adds to their landscape. Therefore, they often choose beautiful landscape supplies to surround their pool area. When it comes to tiling around the pool, glass tile is often chosen because it has a diverse, beautiful, and upscale look.
Glass tile installations have become incredibly popular in desert cities where backyard pools are abundant. For example, Arizona landscape designs feature a plethora of unique backyard “environments” with skillfully landscaped pool and garden areas. These desert landscape designs often utilize glass tile. There are many playful and dynamic designs that contractors can create using various bold colored glass tiles. There are also various decorative patterns and mosaics that they can create around pool areas using glass tiles.
Glass tile is also extremely popular to use in pool designs because it reflects and manipulates light, creating “sparkling” pools that seem to have a crystal clarity. There are even iridescent glass tiles that glow when light hits them. When used in pools, they seem to glow even brighter.
Glass tiles add immense beauty to pool designs, and therefore to overall desert landscape designs. They are supremely popular in areas with high temperatures and high pool usage (such as in desert-like climates). Glass tiled pools truly impress. Another increasingly popular option is to create gorgeous “pool-scapes”, and the stunning and diverse designs you can create with glass tile may be one of the reasons for this.
Just a note, when adding glass tile to your pool, or anywhere in your backyard desert landscape designs, be sure to hire an experienced professional. Glass tile has specific installation procedures, and if it is not installed correctly it can present costly long-term problems.
Glass tiled pools are one of the most stunning new trends in backyard landscape design. With their upscale look and interesting finishes, they can create a pool area that is as beautiful as it is inviting. And when that warm desert sun comes beating down and makes that glass sparkle, you will truly feel like you are in paradise.
