After years of working on both pool and bathroom tiling projects across Perth, I’ve gained deep insights into how these two seemingly similar tasks actually require very different approaches.
While both involve water resistance and careful installation, the specific demands of Perth’s climate create unique challenges for Perth tilers in each type of project.
The Fundamental Differences
Let me start by sharing a recent pool tiling project that perfectly illustrates these differences. Robin Trotter, one of our clients, provided this detailed insight about our work: “Wow, what an amazing job, amazing company, and absolute god send. High end, quality work. Would highly recommend to anyone and everyone no matter how big or complex the job. What a job. What a team. I wish every trade and customer facing person was like him. Genuine guy, genuine care, genuine quality. And amazingly responsive! Time was a huge issue and he coordinated his team to sublime effect without affecting quality in the slightest.”
While Robin’s project wasn’t a pool, his emphasis on quality and attention to detail mirrors the approach needed for pool tiling. The key difference lies in the environmental challenges each type of installation faces.
Pool Tiling Requirements
Pool tiling in Perth faces constant exposure to treated water, direct sunlight, and significant temperature fluctuations.
Here’s what makes pool tiling unique:
- Essential Characteristics
- Chemical resistance
- Continuous water immersion capability
- UV resistance
- Freeze-thaw resistance for cold nights
