Fujiwa Omega Series: Dark Moon (OMEGA-12) Glossy Porcelain Pool Tile
📝 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Bring dramatic oceanic depth, mysterious contrast, and dynamic light reflections to your pool or spa environment with Fujiwa OMEGA-12 Dark Moon Porcelain Tile. As part of Fujiwa's designer Omega Series, this tile features an interlocking linear strip design coated in a rich, multi-tonal midnight blue and cobalt glaze that catches light beautifully under water and sunlight.
Each 12" x 12" mesh-backed sheet is engineered with an impervious high-fired porcelain core (< 0.5% water absorption), making it completely frost-proof, pool-chemical resistant, stain-proof, and weather-durable. The glossy, light-reflecting surface shifts from deep navy to vibrant sapphire, creating an extraordinary visual backdrop for pool waterlines, raised spa bond beams, shower feature walls, and outdoor waterfalls.
✨ KEY FEATURES

-
Dramatic Dark Moon Palette: Multi-tonal midnight blue, navy, and cobalt glaze pairs effortlessly with dark pebble, French gray, or crisp white pool plaster finishes.
-
Flexible Mesh-Backed Sheets: Pre-assembled on ~12" x 12" sheets (1.0 sq. ft./sheet) for efficient, uniform installation along straight or gently curved pool walls.

🛠️ INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: SUBMERGED WATERPROOFING & MORTAR SELECTION
-
Pool-Grade Polymer-Modified Thinset: Always set 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).
-
100% Mortar Coverage: Back-butter mesh sheets as needed to ensure complete thinset contact behind the porcelain strips, eliminating hollow air pockets beneath water 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 "Black" for a continuous, seamless field, or "Bright White" to sharply outline the linear grid.
-
Grout Joint Width: Pre-spaced on the flexible mesh backing for uniform joint alignment throughout.
-
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 sponge or soft brush and a pH-neutral pool tile cleaner to remove mineral deposits and body oils.
2. Maintain Water Chemistry: Keep pool pH (7.2–7.6) and calcium hardness balanced to prevent scale buildup along the glossy glaze.
3. Zero Sealing Required: Non-porous glazed porcelain requires no topical sealers, waxes, or protective coatings over its lifetime.
💬 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Is Fujiwa OMEGA-12 Dark Moon 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 does OMEGA-12 Dark Moon compare to OMEGA-11 Blue Horizon?
A: OMEGA-11 Blue Horizon features vibrant sapphire and royal blue tones, whereas OMEGA-12 Dark Moon leans into a darker, higher-contrast spectrum featuring deep navy, midnight blue, and indigo undertones.
Q: How many sheets should I order for a pool waterline?
A: Calculate your pool perimeter in linear feet. Since each sheet is 12 inches (1 foot) wide, multiply your waterline height fraction (e.g., 0.5 ft for a 6-inch row) by the perimeter, divide by 1.0 sq. ft. per sheet, and add 10% to 15% extra for waste and edge trimming.
