🏛️ THE DESIGN IDENTITY
-
The Archetype: The Deep Cosmic Abyss Field for dramatic, high-contrast swimming pool waterlines, dark plunge pools, and luxury wet feature walls.
-
The Contrast: Pushing beyond standard blue pool tiles, Fujiwa’s Lunar Midnight features a rich crystal reactive glaze with an ink-black and charcoal foundation. Deep sapphire, cobalt swirls, and icy lunar crater highlights float across the surface to mimic the moody mystery of a moonlit night sky.
-
Design Aesthetics: The premier surface choice for Cosmic Contemporary Pools, Modern Dark Plunge Sanctuaries, Industrial Luxury Resorts, and Moody Spa Interiors.
-
The Mineral Field: Showcases an intense celestial palette—blending ink-black graphite, deep obsidian navy, bright cobalt swirls, and translucent crystal glaze depth.
-
The Visual Flow: The classical 6" x 6" square format creates an expansive waterline band that absorbs and reflects sunlight, casting dark, mirror-like reflections across the water's surface.
🏷️ PRODUCT TITLE
Fujiwa Lunar Series: 6" x 6" Midnight Glazed Porcelain Pool Field Tile (LUN-672)
📝 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Bring dramatic mystery and heavy-duty performance to your swimming pool, spa, or outdoor feature wall with the Fujiwa Lunar Series Midnight 6" x 6" Porcelain Tile (LUN-672). Renowned for crafting industry-leading aquatic finishes, Fujiwa engineered the Lunar collection with a multi-tonal crystal reactive glaze that mimics crater-like mineral textures and light-diffusing glaze depth.
Measuring 6 inches by 6 inches, this vitreous porcelain field tile is specifically engineered 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 Midnight 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 "Black" for a seamless dark field, or "Cool Gray" / "Cobalt Blue" to sharply accentuate 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 graphite and lighter cobalt-pooled 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 Midnight 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 ink-black, navy, and cobalt 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.
