Material Education Cel Black is a dense, vitrified porcelain tile engineered specifically for aquatic environments, delivering a deep, uniform matte-black surface that retains its rich color whether submerged or dry. Fired at extremely high temperatures, this porcelain achieves near-zero water absorption, making it an ideal candidate for pools, spas, and any wet-zone application. Its consistent charcoal-to-jet-black palette lends a dramatic, architectural quality to any water feature. As a manufactured porcelain product, Cel Black offers exceptional consistency from tile to tile, though subtle tonal shifts within the range add a gentle sense of depth to installed surfaces. About this mosaic: This 2×2 inch format is pre-mounted on a mesh-backed sheet, allowing for efficient installation across large pool walls, floors, and waterline bands while maintaining precise, uniform spacing throughout. Design & Inspiration Cel Black's inky, neutral palette pairs beautifully with brushed stainless, matte black fixtures, white plaster coping, and natural teak or concrete decking, bridging modern minimalist and resort-style design aesthetics. It suits infinity pools, lap pools, contemporary spas, and bold interior feature walls where a sense of depth and luxury is the primary design goal. The 2×2 square format creates a sleek, grid-like mosaic surface that maximizes the mirror-like reflectivity of pool water, making the water appear darker, cooler, and more dramatic. Its small chip size also conforms easily to curved pool walls and steps, providing complete coverage without awkward cuts. Popular design combinations: Cel Black pool floor and walls paired with white limestone coping and natural wood decking for a striking light-versus-dark resort aesthetic.

Ships in 2–3 Days Free Sample Shipping Nationwide Delivery Premium Natural Stone Secure Packaging Description Specifications Applications Shipping & Returns Installation & Care Cel Black is a high-performance vitrified porcelain mosaic tile purpose-built for pool and spa environments, offering a deep, consistent black finish that brings dramatic depth and sophistication to any aquatic setting. Its near-zero water absorption rate and slip-resistant matte surface make it as practical as it is striking. Pre-mounted on mesh backing in a clean straight-set grid pattern, each 2×2 chip installs quickly and evenly across pool floors, walls, and waterline bands. The matte finish diffuses light softly, creating a velvety, elegant appearance underwater while providing the grip needed for wet surfaces. Cel Black is ideally suited for residential and commercial pools, spas, water features, and wet-area floors; it is pool-rated and frost-resistant, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations in most climates. We recommend ordering a sample to confirm the color depth under your specific lighting and water conditions before placing a full order.

Processing & Delivery: Orders are processed within 2–3 business days. Large orders ship via LTL freight — curbside delivery only. An adult must be present to sign for delivery. Estimated transit: 2–10 business days after shipment. 30-Day Returns: Uninstalled tile may be returned within 30 days of delivery. Inspect all tile carefully before installation — installed tile cannot be returned or exchanged. Samples are final sale. Exclusions: Free shipping does not apply to Hawaii, Alaska, U.S. territories, or international addresses. Additional charges may apply for remote delivery areas. Sealing: Porcelain is non-porous and does not require sealing under normal conditions. In pool environments, grout joints should be sealed with a pool-grade, waterproof grout sealer after full cure to prevent algae penetration and staining. Cleaning: Clean with a pH-neutral tile cleaner or a diluted pool-safe solution. Avoid acidic cleaners, muriatic acid washes, or abrasive scrubbing pads that can damage the matte surface texture. For routine pool maintenance, standard pool water chemistry (balanced pH 7.2–7.6) is safe for the tile surface. Installation: Use a white or grey polymer-modified thinset rated for pool and wet-area use; ensure full back-buttering of each sheet for maximum bond in submerged conditions. Use non-sanded or fine-sanded grout for the 2×2 chip joints, and select a pool-grade, waterproof grout. Allow thinset to cure fully (minimum 7–10 days) before filling the pool. Align mesh sheets carefully to maintain consistent joint spacing across seams. Important: Inspect all tile before installation. Variations in color, veining, and texture between pieces are natural characteristics of genuine stone — not defects. Order 10% overage for cuts, waste, and future repairs.
