🏛️ THE DESIGN IDENTITY

• The Archetype: The Deep Oceanic Rock Field for luxury pool waterlines, perimeter spillways, raised spa walls, and textured outdoor water features.

• The Contrast: Unlike flat, solid blue pool tiles, NET-ATLANTIS introduces a deeply textured, organic stone-like face. It pairs a slate-and-granite inspired surface profile with a multi-tonal wash of deep ocean blue, charcoal, silver, and sea-mist gray that transforms dynamically under moving water and sunlight.

• Design Aesthetics: The premier surface choice for Natural Lagoon Pools, Modern Coastal Estates, Resort-Style Water Features, and Rustic Stone Hardscapes.

• The Mineral Field: Features a high-fired Japanese porcelain body—blending deep midnight blue, slate gray, metallic-like silver striations, and a textured, semi-gloss protective glaze.

• The Visual Flow: The classic 6" x 6" single-piece format creates a substantial, architectural waterline band that grounds the pool perimeter and aligns perfectly with standard coping depths.

🏷️ PRODUCT TITLE

Fujiwa Net Series: 6" x 6" Atlantis (NET-ATLANTIS / NET-621) Glazed Porcelain Pool Tile

📝 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Bring dramatic oceanic depth and rugged stone-look texture to your pool or spa environment with Fujiwa NET-ATLANTIS 6" x 6" Porcelain Tile. As part of Fujiwa's flagship Net Series, this tile features a heavy dimensional texture inspired by underwater volcanic rock and weather-worn reef formations.

Each 6" x 6" individual field tile is engineered with an impervious high-fired porcelain core (< 0.5% water absorption), making it completely frost-proof, pool-chemical resistant, and stain-proof. The multi-tone glaze shifts from deep blue-gray to weathered silver highlights, offering high visual depth along waterlines, spa steps, zero-edge spillways, and exterior feature walls.

✨ KEY FEATURES

• Heavy Architectural Texture: 3D stone-like surface profile captures and scatters light underwater for a natural reef effect.

• Submerged Aquatic Durability: High-fired Japanese porcelain body is frost-proof, chemical-resistant, stain-proof, and impervious to moisture (< 0.5% absorption).

• Multi-Tonal "Atlantis" Palette: Blends deep ocean blue, charcoal slate, and weathered silver tones that pair seamlessly with quartz, pebble, or dark plaster pool finishes.

• Classic 6x6 Waterline Scale: Ideal dimension for standard pool waterline bands, step markers, and spa bond beams.

• Low Maintenance Surface: High-fired glaze prevents algae adhesion, scum buildup, and hard water scaling.

🛠️ INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: SUBMERGED WATERPROOFING & MORTAR SELECTION

• Pool-Grade Polymer-Modified Thinset: Always set 6x6 porcelain pool tiles using an ANSI A118.15-compliant polymer-modified thinset mortar specified for submerged applications (such as LATICRETE® 254 Platinum or MAPEI® Kerabond T / Keralastic System).

• Full Mortar Coverage: Back-butter every 6x6 tile to achieve 100% thinset contact underneath, eliminating hollow air pockets that can collect water beneath pressure.

Professional Installation Recommendations

• Recommended Grout: Pair with a high-performance waterproof pool grout (such as LATICRETE® Spectralock® PRO Premium Epoxy Grout) in "Dark Charcoal" or "Mid Gray" for a seamless, dramatic field, or "Cobalt Blue" to emphasize the aquatic tones.

• Grout Joint Width: Standard 3/16" to 1/8" grout joint recommended to absorb subtle manufacturing tolerances and structural movement.

• Cure Time: Allow a full cure time of 14 to 21 days before filling pools or spas with water.

💡 PRO CARE & MAINTENANCE TIPS

1. Routine Waterline Cleaning: Clean regularly using a soft brush or sponge and a pH-neutral pool tile cleaner to remove mineral deposits and oils.

2. Maintain Water Chemistry: Keep pool pH (7.2–7.6) and calcium hardness balanced to prevent scale buildup along the textured glaze.

3. Zero Sealing Required: Non-porous glazed porcelain requires no topical sealers, waxes, or protective coatings.

💬 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Is Fujiwa NET-ATLANTIS safe for freeze-thaw winter climates?

A: Yes! Fujiwa porcelain tiles are high-fired with less than 0.5% water absorption, making them completely frost-proof and suitable for submerged outdoor applications in freeze-thaw climates.

Q: How many tiles do I need to order for a pool waterline?

A: Calculate your pool perimeter in linear feet. Since each 6" x 6" tile covers 0.5 linear feet along a standard 6-inch waterline band (2 tiles per linear foot), multiply your pool perimeter by 2, then divide by 44 to get the number of boxes needed. Always add 10% to 15% extra for waste and cuts.

Q: Does the heavy texture make it difficult to keep clean?

A: No. Despite its textured visual appearance, the high-temperature surface glaze is non-porous and smooth to the touch, preventing algae and waterline scum from embedding into the tile.
