The Fujiwa VIP Series Hunter Green (VIP-742) is a standout choice for the "Organic Modern" and "Biophilic" pool trends. While blues have long dominated pool design, a deep Hunter Green creates a moody, lagoon-like atmosphere that mimics the natural beauty of a forest lake or a secluded grotto.

This 3x3 mosaic offers a more substantial, architectural grid than smaller 1x1 tiles, making it a favorite for waterlines on modern, clean-lined pool builds.

Fujiwa VIP Series | Hunter Green 3" x 3" Pool Rated Mosaic

Transform your pool into a lush sanctuary with the Fujiwa VIP Hunter Green. This series is specifically engineered for the extreme conditions of a swimming pool. The High-Gloss finish features a deep, translucent glaze that creates a "liquid" depth, reflecting the surrounding landscape and giving the water a sophisticated, dark emerald hue.

Crafted from high-fired porcelain, this tile is impervious to water, ensuring it remains frost-proof and resistant to the fading effects of UV rays and pool chemicals.

Why Choose the Fujiwa VIP 3x3 in Hunter Green?

• Natural Water Color: Unlike white or light blue tiles that create a "tropical" blue, Hunter Green tiles deepen the water’s appearance, creating a reflective, mirror-like surface that looks stunning in wooded or garden settings.

• Modern Proportions: The 3x3 format is the contemporary "sweet spot." It is large enough to feel modern and clean, yet small enough to wrap around curved spa spillways and steps without the jagged edges often seen with 6x6 tiles.

• Low Maintenance: The dark, saturated green is exceptionally forgiving at the waterline. It effectively hides the "tide mark" and minor mineral deposits (scaling) that are often glaringly obvious on light-colored tiles.

• Superior Durability: With a water absorption rate of less than 0.5%, this porcelain is officially frost-proof and acid-resistant, making it ideal for both the waterline and the interior of the pool.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Setting Materials: Use a high-quality waterproof thinset specifically rated for submerged applications. For a dark tile like Hunter Green, using a Grey Thinset can help maintain the richness of the color.

• Grout Selection: * Black or Dark Green: For a seamless, "dark lagoon" look where the grid disappears.

  • Medium Gray: To highlight the 3x3 grid and provide a classic, architectural feel.

• Cleaning: Maintain the high-gloss shine by wiping the waterline with a soft brush and a pool-safe tile cleaner. Avoid abrasive pumice stones, which can scratch the glaze over time.

• Coordinate with Trim: This series typically has matching 3x3 ORE (Bullnose) and 1x3 Bead trim pieces available to provide a finished, rounded edge on pool steps and benches.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Will this make my pool look like a pond? A: It creates a "Natural Pool" or "Lagoon" aesthetic. If paired with dark pebble plaster, the water will look very deep and reflective. If paired with white plaster, it creates a striking emerald-turquoise effect.

Q: Can this be used for a kitchen backsplash? A: Absolutely. It is a "heavy-duty" porcelain. Its glossy finish and deep forest green color make it a stunning, easy-to-clean choice for residential interior walls.

Q: Is it slip-resistant for steps? A: No. The VIP series has a glossy finish. It is intended for waterlines or submerged vertical surfaces. For the edge of steps, we recommend using this as a "trim" combined with a textured, unglazed step-marker for safety.
