SeraPool Olympic Novita Finger-Grip Overflow Edge Tile is a porcelain finger-grip overflow edge tile from the Novita series for deck-level (top-overflow) pools. It forms the overflow lip at the top of the pool wall and gives swimmers a firm handhold at the water line. It is part of the SeraPool Olympic™ Commercial & Competition Pool Collection, a complete porcelain system of edge tiles, deck tiles, depth markers, pool tile, mosaics, overflow channels and gutter grates for commercial and competition pools.
Available in Cobalt. Matching inside and outside corners keep the grip continuous around the pool.
How it is used
The edge tile sits on the pool wall with its grip facing the water. Pool water spills over the edge into the overflow gutter behind it, which is covered with a porcelain or ABS gutter grate and finished with slip-resistant deck tile. Pair it with SeraPool Olympic deck tile, depth markers and gutter grates from the same collection.

Installation notes
- Set on a waterproofed, leak-tested pool shell with a C2 (EN 12004) cementitious adhesive; in US practice an improved modified mortar (ANSI A118.15) rated for submerged use. Back-butter every piece for full coverage.
- The edge sets the water level: set it level along the whole perimeter and check with a laser before the adhesive cures.
- Set the corner pieces first, then work the straight pieces toward the middle of each run.
- Grout no sooner than 24 hours after setting with a flexible, pool-rated grout; plan movement joints per TCNA EJ171.
