Product Overview
Fujiwa Peb Royal Blue Mixed Porcelain Pebble Mosaic is a pool-rated mosaic tile that combines natural stone-look organic shapes with vivid color and technical performance. Featuring a mix of heart-shaped and rounded pebble chips in a deep, radiant Royal Blue glaze, this mosaic delivers an eye-catching, aquatic-inspired texture to perimeters, waterlines, and submerged surfaces.
Crafted from dense, high-fired vitrified porcelain and mounted on flexible mesh backing sheets, it easily conforms to curved surfaces such as spa benches and rounded pool steps. Built specifically for continuous water submersion, it offers exceptional resistance to pool chemicals, UV rays, and extreme freeze-thaw cycles without fading or degrading over time.

Recommended Applications
-
Pool Waterlines & Raised Walls: The organic pebble grid and deep royal blue glaze form a vibrant, textured border that masks mineral scale and water lines around pool perimeters.
-
Spa Floors, Benches & Radiused Features: The small pebble format and flexible mesh backing conform easily to curved spa seating, rolled edges, and circular hot tubs.
-
Shower Floors & Wet Areas: The frequent grout lines between rounded chips provide natural underfoot traction in residential and commercial wet areas.
Installation & Handling Guidelines
⚠️ IMPORTANT: POOL & WET-AREA INSTALLATION PROTOCOL
-
Submerged Mortar Selection: Install sheets using a polymer-modified thin-set mortar specifically rated for submerged porcelain mosaic installations and exterior freeze-thaw conditions (ANSI A118.4 or ANSI A118.15).
-
Substrate & Waterproofing: Ensure concrete pool shells, mud beds, or backer boards are fully cured, sloped, and treated with an approved waterproof membrane prior to tile setting.
-
Grout Selection: Use a chemical-resistant, pool-grade cementitious or epoxy grout designed to withstand salt systems, chlorine, and water treatment chemicals.
-
Sheet Bedding: Lightly tap pebble sheets into the wet mortar bed using a wooden block or beating float to ensure uniform chip height and 100% mortar contact behind the mesh backing.
Care & Maintenance
-
Pool Chemistry Balance: Maintain balanced pool water chemistry (pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness) to protect grout joints and prevent mineral scaling.
-
Routine Cleaning: Clean waterline scale with non-abrasive pool tile cleaners and soft nylon brushes. Avoid harsh wire brushes that could scratch the glazed surface.
-
Zero Sealing Required: Vitrified porcelain is virtually non-porous and never requires topical sealers or impregnators.
Design Profile
-
Aesthetic Inspiration: Island Lagoon, Aquatic Oasis, Coastal Chic, Tropical Resort.
-
Visual Advantage: The playful mix of heart-shaped and pebble chips catches sunlight beneath moving water, enhancing water clarity and creating a sparkling cobalt perimeter.
-
Complementary Finishes: Travertine or white concrete pool coping, light blue/pebble plaster pool interiors, and brushed stainless steel water spouts.
