Make a Splash
A backyard pool is about as good as it gets – your own personal oasis for relaxing or entertaining. Whether you’re breaking ground on a new pool or revamping a tired design, zellige can instantly frame the space. Zia’s zellige tiles are handcrafted by skilled artisans in Morocco and no two tiles are exactly alike. This creates unparalleled variation of tone and texture that will create an enviable escape.
Tile for All Time
Aside from the aesthetics, the durability of your pool surround’s materials is an important factor. Not only do you need something that is suitable for an outdoor environment, but you also need something that can withstand being exposed to constant moisture. We could tell you how great Zellige in Swimming Pool is as a waterline tile, but centuries of evidence speaks louder than words. The benefit of installing Moroccan zellige tile is that you can see proof of its resilience throughout history. In North Africa and the Mediterranean, zellige tiles have been used to adorn fountains and water features for hundreds of years. These same installations remain intact and remarkably vibrant today.

Pool Party Tricks
The focal point of any great backyard bash is the sparkling pool – some may call it the kitchen island of the backyard. Well, we certainly do! What we mean by that is no matter where you intended your party to take place, guests tend to gather in and around the pool. Your pool design is a conversation starter, an Instagram moment, and a perpetual pleasure for everyone in your home. With a bit of Zia magic, ensure it’s up to the task.
Shapes, Shades, and Sizes
Sure, you could take a traditional 4x4 tile in turquoise blue and create a classically stunning pool area. Or, you could go for something a little different. Prep for a pop with cadmium yellow, or a hint of perfect plum. Swap squares for subway tiles if that’s more your style, and use the 2x6 rectangles in a rich jade shade. Looking for something with a little more edge – literally? Our 3.5-inch hex-shaped zellige tiles come in everything from ruby rouge to teal-toned tidepool. There are no rules when it comes to the waterline for your pool, so get creative – or classic – with Zia’s best-in-class tiles.
