Pool design is much more than just creating a body of water; it is an engineering art that determines the soul, color, and safety of that space. As Poolarch, when we aim to combine aesthetics and functionality in our projects, our choice of material often leads us to the pinnacle of porcelain. Piazza Turquoise, part of Serapool’s Natural series, goes beyond being an ordinary pool cladding material, bringing the clarity of tropical islands and the energy of nature to every area where it is used.
In this article, we will detail the technical superiorities of the Piazza Turquoise product, its differences from other cladding materials, and why it is indispensable for professional projects.
The Power of Porcelain: Why is Piazza Turquoise Different?
Although many users use the terms “tile” or “ceramic” as a general name for pools, technically there are vast differences between 100% porcelain and standard ceramics. Serapool Piazza Turquoise is one of the products where this distinction is felt most sharply. Standard pool ceramics can absorb water over time, which can cause cracking in cold climates or algae formation on the surface. However, thanks to its porcelain structure, Piazza Turquoise absorbs almost no water (water absorption rate is below 0.5%).
Technical Superiority and Durability Standards
Piazza Turquoise stands out not only with its color but also with its physical resistance. Especially in outdoor pools, sunlight’s UV rays, chemical cleaners, and sudden temperature changes wear down the material. Serapool porcelains are fired to show the highest resistance against these external factors.
- UV Resistance: Even after years under the sun, the vitality of the turquoise color remains as it was on the first day.
- Chemical Resistance: Chlorine and other disinfectants used in pool water cannot damage the surface texture.
- Low Water Absorption: Thanks to its non-porous structure, it prevents water from seeping inside, thus preventing cracking during freeze-thaw cycles.
Safety and Hygiene: R11 Anti-Slip Rating
Safety around the pool and on the steps is an uncompromising element. Piazza Turquoise provides maximum grip on wet areas thanks to the special relief texture on its surface. This product, which is in the R11 anti-slip class, creates a safe floor, especially in pools used by children and the elderly. At the same time, this smooth but non-slip surface does not allow bacteria and algae to settle because it is non-porous. This ensures that the pool is much easier to clean and hygiene standards are maintained.
Which Areas are Ideal for Piazza Turquoise?
The product’s large formats, such as 33×66 cm, mean fewer grout lines in pools. This provides both visual integrity and reduces the cleaning load. So, where should you use this aesthetic wonder?
Infinity Pools
Piazza Turquoise creates a fascinating effect, especially in infinity pools that integrate with the view. When combined with special finishing pieces used at the overflow points of the water, the color of the water catches a perfect harmony with the horizon line. The sense of depth of turquoise makes the pool appear wider and more spacious than it is.
Thermal and Spa Areas
In thermal pools with high-temperature water and dense mineral structures, standard tiles can deform rapidly. The porcelain body of Piazza Turquoise is extremely stable against temperature changes. Therefore, it is frequently preferred as both floor and wall cladding in luxury spa centers and thermal facilities.
Luxury Villa Gardens and Terrace Pools
As Poolarch, in our individual villa projects, we aim for the user to feel like they are in a holiday resort in their own home. Thanks to its vibrant color combined with natural stone texture, Piazza Turquoise creates a perfect contrast with the garden landscape. In terrace pools, thanks to its lightweight but durable structure, it offers an aesthetic solution without putting extra load on the building.
The Poolarch Touch in Application and Design Details
The success of a pool lies not only in the chosen tile but also in how that tile is applied and how complementary pieces are selected. The Serapool Piazza Turquoise series does not only consist of flat tiles; it offers a whole with concave and convex corner pieces, step anti-slips, and special grate systems.
- Holistic Design: Porcelain pieces that round off the sharp corners of the pool minimize the risk of impact and injury while providing an aesthetic flow.
- Grout Harmony: With the right grout color, Piazza Turquoise can look like a monolithic turquoise mass.
- Different Size Options: In addition to the 33×66 cm main tiles, mosaic forms used in smaller details also provide flexibility in design.
If you want to create not just a cladding but a timeless atmosphere in your pool, it is the perfect time to meet Serapool Piazza Turquoise and Poolarch expertise.
