Product Overview
1" x 1" Shoreline Fujiwa Nami 100 Series Pool Tile is an aquatic-grade ceramic mosaic engineered to bring fluid motion, shimmering light reflection, and classic Japanese-inspired texture to swimming pool perimeters, spas, and water features. Featuring small 1" x 1" chips with a wave-like (nami) textured surface glaze, this series creates dynamic water refraction and sparkling color depth across submerged surfaces.
Mounted on flexible mesh backing sheets (~12" x 12"), the small 1x1 mosaic format easily conforms to complex curves, radiused spa benches, steps, and rolled pool edges. High-fired for ultimate chemical, stain, and frost resistance, it withstands continuous submersion, salt water systems, and harsh UV exposure without fading or degrading.
Recommended Applications
-
Swimming Pool Waterlines: The 1" x 1" mosaic grid forms an easy-to-clean band along pool perimeters that naturally disguises scum lines and mineral buildup.
-
Spas & Radiused Benches: The small chip size and flexible mesh backing wrap effortlessly around contoured spa seating, rounded hot tub perimeters, and spillways.
-
Pool Step Markers & Tanning Ledges: Serves as a textured, high-visibility safety border along submerged step edges, tanning ledges, and entry ramps.
Design Profile
-
Aesthetic Inspiration: Japanese Wave Motif, Resort Spa, Ocean Lagoon, Modern Coastal.
-
Visual Advantage: The Nami wave texture breaks up harsh direct sunlight, giving pool water a sparkling, crystalline appearance with deep blue undertones.
-
Complementary Finishes: Light gray travertine pool coping, smooth white/light blue pebble plaster, and brushed stainless steel water features.
Colors and textures may vary slightly between tile batches due to natural manufacturing variations. For a clear representation, we recommend ordering a sample.
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including crystalline silica (airborne particles of respirable size) in dust created during fabrication/installation if the product is dry cut, ground, or pulverized, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer.

Installation and Handling Guidelines
⚠️ IMPORTANT: POOL & WET-AREA INSTALLATION PROTOCOL
-
Submerged Mortar Selection: Install sheets using a polymer-modified thin-set mortar specifically rated for submerged ceramic mosaic installations and exterior freeze-thaw conditions (ANSI A118.4 or ANSI A118.15).
-
Substrate & Waterproofing: Ensure concrete pool shells, mud beds, or backer boards are fully cured, sloped, and treated with an approved waterproof membrane prior to tile setting.
-
Grout Selection: Use a chemical-resistant, pool-grade cementitious or epoxy grout designed to withstand salt systems, chlorine, and water treatment chemicals.
-
Sheet Bedding: Lightly tap mosaic sheets into the wet mortar bed using a wooden block or beating float to ensure uniform chip height and 100% mortar contact behind the mesh backing.
Care and Maintenance
-
Pool Chemistry Balance: Maintain balanced pool water chemistry (pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness) to protect grout joints and prevent mineral scaling.
-
Routine Cleaning: Clean waterline scale with non-abrasive pool tile cleaners and soft nylon brushes. Avoid harsh wire brushes that could scratch the glazed surface.
-
Zero Sealing Required: Glazed aquatic ceramic is non-porous and never requires topical sealers or impregnators.
