SeraPool Natural Sukabumi Porcelain Pool Tile – Field Tile is part of the SeraPool Natural™ Outdoor & Pool Collection, a made-to-order porcelain pool system with step treads, infinity-edge tile, trims, pool coping, gutter grates and deck drains.
Sukabumi is a green-gray porcelain surface inspired by Sukabumi, the green volcanic stone used in many resort pools, printed as a grid of smaller stone squares. Under water it gives a natural green-turquoise color. The color is produced in two faces (F01–F02), with natural variation in tone and pattern from face to face. All faces ship mixed and are meant to be laid randomly across the pool floor and walls, so the installation shows the natural variation of stone without a visible repeat.
Available sizes

- 13x13 in. (33 x 33 cm)
Sizes are nominal. All sizes are rectified (precision-cut edges) and 5/16 in. (7.6 mm) thick, for narrow, uniform joints and flat, even pool surfaces.

Installation notes
- Install over a waterproofed, leak-tested pool shell; the manufacturer recommends waiting at least 5 days after waterproofing before tiling.
- Setting material: C2TE S1 deformable cementitious adhesive (EN 12004). In US practice, use an improved modified mortar (ANSI A118.15) rated for submerged use.
- Rectified edges: set with a 1/8 in. (3 mm) joint, as the manufacturer specifies for rectified tile. Protect tile edges from impact during installation.
- Grout no sooner than 24 hours after setting with a flexible, pool-rated grout. Blend tile from several crates and lay all faces randomly. Plan movement joints per TCNA EJ171.
Complete pool product system
Coordinate this field tile with Sukabumi trims & edges for step treads, infinity edges, convex and concave pieces and angle trim. Sukabumi is not produced as a mosaic; for curves and waterlines, pair it with a SeraPool Natural mosaic in a coordinating color. Pool coping, gutter grates, deck drains and slip-resistant deck tile are available in eight coordinated SeraPool Natural deck colors.
