Pool design is the art of combining the stillness of water with the character of a space. Choosing the right material ensures that this art is both aesthetically and technically sustainable. Piazza Cobalt, offered by Serapool under the Natural series, goes far beyond standard coatings, especially with its deep blue tones and the unshakable strength of porcelain. As Poolarch, we discuss why you should evaluate this special series in your projects with all its technical details.
Technical Differences Between Traditional Tiles and Piazza Cobalt
While many users focus only on color when choosing pool coatings, the body of the material is the most critical factor for long-term use. Standard ceramic tiles absorb water at a certain rate due to their porous structure. This leads to water freezing and expanding, especially in winter, causing tiles to crack. Piazza Cobalt, however, has a 100% porcelain structure.
The biggest advantage of porcelain is its water absorption rate of less than 0.5%. Thanks to this feature, the material shows full resistance to thermal shocks that may occur in outdoor conditions. In addition, the surface hardness of these tiles, fired at high temperatures, is much higher than ceramic against scratches and impacts. Heavy chemicals or lime removers used in pool cleaning cannot damage the texture of Piazza Cobalt; this ensures the pool maintains its first-day nobility for decades.
Why Choose Piazza Cobalt?
Piazza Cobalt brings the strongest and most saturated tones of the cobalt blue it is named after to the water. This color choice ensures that the water inside the pool gains a crystal depth. Combined with the reflection of the sky, the pool becomes a focal point of the landscape rather than just a swimming area.
Safe and Hygienic Use with Poolarch Assurance
Another issue as important as aesthetics is user safety. The Piazza Cobalt series has an R11 class anti-slip certificate. This is a critical technical value that prevents accidents that may occur especially on wet floors, stairs, and pool edges. This product, which we offer in Poolarch projects, does not allow the formation of bacteria and algae on it thanks to its non-porous structure. This means a healthier swimming experience with less chemical use.
Another difference of the product is its “Face” (surface pattern) diversity. Piazza Cobalt has nine different surface variations. Laying these different patterns in a mixed way during application creates a natural stone appearance in the pool, offering a living texture far from artificiality.
Where Does Piazza Cobalt Make a Difference?
The application areas of Piazza Cobalt are quite diverse thanks to its wide range of technical features:
- Infinity Pools: Dark blue tones provide a perfect harmony with the horizon and maximize the perception of depth.
- Boutique Villa Projects: Ideal for creating a character beyond standards in luxury residences designed specifically for individuals.
- Hotels and Resorts: In large pools with heavy circulation, it reduces operating costs due to its durability and ease of cleaning.
- Thermal and Spa Areas: Thanks to its resistance to temperature changes, it can be used safely in hot water pools.
- Complementary Parts: The concave and convex corner pieces of the series soften the sharp turns in the pool, reducing the risk of injury and allowing cleaning robots to reach every point.
Piazza Cobalt is not just a coating material, but an engineering marvel that takes pool architecture to the next level.
