🏛️ THE DESIGN IDENTITY
-
The Archetype: The Lush Botanical Emerald Aquatic Field for dramatic swimming pool waterlines, organic lagoon-style pools, and luxury wet feature walls.
-
The Contrast: Moving away from standard bright pool blues, Fujiwa’s Lunar Emerald combines deep forest greens, shimmering moss highlights, oceanic teal undertones, and shadowy midnight pooling to recreate the natural depth of a pristine tropical cenote or alpine lagoon.
-
Design Aesthetics: The premier surface choice for Biophilic Oasis Pools, Tropical Resort Hardscapes, Modern Zen Sanctuaries, and Artisan Aquatic Features.
-
The Mineral Field: Showcases an organic, multi-tonal palette—blending rich emerald green, deep forest jade, oceanic teal, and light-reflecting crystal glaze pooling.
-
The Visual Flow: The classical 6" x 6" square format creates an expansive waterline band that captures direct sunlight, casting shimmering emerald and jade reflections across the water's surface.
🏷️ PRODUCT TITLE
Fujiwa Lunar Series: 6" x 6" Emerald Glazed Porcelain Pool Field Tile
📝 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Bring organic lagoon-like depth and heavy-duty performance to your swimming pool, spa, or outdoor feature wall with the Fujiwa Lunar Series Emerald 6" x 6" Porcelain Tile (LUN-674). Renowned for crafting industry-leading aquatic finishes, Fujiwa engineered the Lunar collection with a rich crystal reactive glaze that mimics crater-like mineral textures and light-reflecting depth.
Measuring 6 inches by 6 inches, this vitreous porcelain field tile is specifically designed for severe-duty wet conditions, including fully submerged pool interiors, waterline bands, outdoor fountains, and walk-in shower walls. High-fired at extreme temperatures to achieve near-zero water absorption (less than 0.5%), Lunar Emerald is completely frost-proof, chemical resistant, thermal shock stable, and immune to pool scale buildup.

🛠️ INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: SUBMERGED APPLICATION & MORTAR SELECTION
-
Pool-Grade Thinset: For submerged pool waterlines, spas, and water features, always use a LATICRETE® or MAPEI® Polymer-Modified or Epoxy Mortar specifically approved for submerged aquatic tile setting.
-
Waterproof Substrate Preparation: Ensure concrete pool beams, spa shells, or shower backer boards are fully cured and coated with an approved pool-grade waterproofing membrane prior to tiling.
Manufacturer Recommendations
-
Recommended Grout: Pair with an epoxy or high-performance cementitious pool grout in "Charcoal" or "Dark Gray" for a rich continuous field, or "Cool Gray" to sharply accent individual tile borders.
-
Grout Joint Width: A minimum 1/8" grout joint is recommended to accommodate minor tile manufacturing tolerances and thermal expansion in outdoor pool settings.
-
Dry-Fit Blend: Dry-fit tiles from multiple boxes before setting to evenly distribute the darker jade and lighter emerald/teal pieces across the waterline.
💡 PRO INSTALLATION TIPS
1. Blend Across Boxes: Open 3 to 4 boxes at once and mix pieces during installation to ensure an even distribution of dramatic crater glaze patterns across the entire surface area.
2. 100% Mortar Coverage: Achieve 100% thinset contact behind each 6x6 tile by back-buttering to eliminate air pockets where trapped water could freeze or cause tile disbondment.
3. Easy Chemical Maintenance: Clean regularly with non-abrasive, pool-safe tile cleaners to preserve the glossy glaze luster against pool chemical scale or hard water buildup.
💬 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Is Fujiwa Lunar Emerald safe for saltwater pool systems and chlorine?
A: Yes, absolutely. Made of dense, high-fired porcelain with water absorption under 0.5%, it is completely frost-proof and fully resistant to pool chemicals, chlorine, acid-washing, and saltwater systems.
Q: Does each 6x6 tile look identical?
A: No. The tile features a reactive crystal glaze with high shade variation (V3). The emerald, jade, and teal highlights pool differently on every piece, giving your pool waterline an artisan, custom look.
Q: Can this tile be used for full pool interiors or raised walls?
A: Yes, it can be installed along the waterline, across full pool interiors, on raised spillway walls, outdoor showers, and fountain backdrops.
