Custom order: produced for your project and shipped direct from the factory. Lead time is confirmed with your quote.
SeraPool Natural Cotto Porcelain Pool Deck Tile is the slip-resistant porcelain deck tile for pool surrounds, terraces and patios, coordinated in color with the matching coping, grates and deck drains. It is part of the SeraPool Natural™ Outdoor & Pool Collection, where the pool interior, coping, grates and deck are specified as one porcelain system.
Cotto is a terracotta-red porcelain surface inspired by traditional cotto. Pool coping, grates and deck tile are produced separately, so slight tonal differences between them are normal for this natural look; blend pieces from several crates during installation.
Available sizes
- 13x26 in. (33 x 66 cm)
Size is nominal. The tile is rectified (precision-cut edges) and 5/16 in. (7.6 mm) thick, with a matte, textured anti-slip surface for wet, barefoot areas.

Installation notes
- Install over a sound, cured concrete slab sloped away from the pool so surface water drains to the deck drain channel or gutter, not into the pool.
- Setting material: C2TE S1 deformable cementitious adhesive (EN 12004); in US practice, an improved modified mortar (ANSI A118.15) suitable for exterior use. Back-butter for full coverage.
- Rectified edges: set with a 1/8 in. (3 mm) joint and protect edges from impact. Grout with an exterior, pool-rated grout no sooner than 24 hours after setting.
- Plan perimeter, field and coping movement joints per TCNA EJ171; blend tile from several crates.
