Porcelain stoneware makes your pool unique

If you are thinking of creating or renovating your swimming, Tagina can offer you tailor-made solutions to make this space even more beautiful and safer, thanks to its range of thick, non-slip porcelain stoneware tiles for outdoor use.

The choice of porcelain stoneware to complete the finishing of a swimming pool guarantees countless advantages from a technical point of view: this material is in fact waterproof, therefore it is not damaged in any way by the presence of water, and perfectly resists the aggression of atmospheric agents and sunlight; this is why it is perfect to be used outdoors without being damaged.

The versatility of stoneware and the possibility of obtaining tiles of countless colours and sizes allow extremely elegant results, regardless of the type of pool you intend to create.

Porcelain stoneware, in fact, can be used to finish:

• Underground pools: this type of pool requires that the edge of the pool is positioned at the same level as the surrounding surface, which can be tiled or covered with earth, gravel or other materials. Underground pools allow to obtain aesthetic results of great effect, because they guarantee a visual continuity between the surface of the water and that of the environment. This effect is particularly amplified in the case of "infinity" pools, where there is no edge that emerges from the water to mark the boundary of the pool. For the final result to truly live up to expectations, it is very important to take care of the finishing of this type of pool, choosing materials, colours and laying schemes that allow to make the most of not only the pool itself, but the entire context in which it is placed.
• Basement pools: if the pool is only partially underground, and there is therefore a more or less high pool edge that separates the water from the surrounding environment, it is called basement pool. These types of pools – which are preferred, especially in the presence of children, also for the reduction of the risk of accidental fall – can be enhanced by the use of special materials for the coating of the walls and the edge, with the aim of better integrating the pool into the environment and ensuring maximum safety.
• Pools above ground: this category includes the so-called "furnishing pools", made without excavations and which are therefore completely external to the floor level. This type of pools can be installed, as well as in the open, even in partially covered spaces such as large verandas, gazebos, canopies and so on, and can be particularly elegant and refined, especially if the right materials are used to cover the walls and the edge.

Tagina solutions for finishing private swimming pools

Whatever type of pool you want to create, Tagina is able to offer you the perfect solutions to achieve functional, safe and highly impactful results from an aesthetic point of view.

Tagina outdoor tiles can be used successfully to pave all outdoor spaces adjacent to the pool, and in the Tagina catalogue there are also some special pieces designed to complete the finishing of the pools, made with 20 mm thick non-slip tiles (coefficient R11). These special pieces include:

• Grids,
• Steps for poolside,
• Countersunk steps,
• Grip steps.

These steps are designed to be a natural extension of the external floor, and therefore allow the pool to be perfectly integrated into its context, without there being any interruption between the edge and the floor. They are therefore the perfect solution for finishing underground pools, both infinity and skimmer pools.

In the event that outdoor spaces are designed simultaneously with the house, then, it is possible to obtain even more refined results, creating a perfect continuity between indoor environments, outdoor spaces and poolside: the choice of porcelain stoneware, in fact, allows to use the same tiles for all these applications, and therefore opens the doors to elegant and surprising design solutions, impossible to recreate with other materials.

Whatever the style of the garden in which the pool is located, the versatility of porcelain stoneware allows to identify solutions that can integrate perfectly into the context, obtaining lasting, safe and impeccable results from an aesthetic point of view, capable of enhancing and characterising the entire house.
