Yes. Tile or stone is ideal for use in stainless steel pools, fountains, spas, and other water features when using LATICRETE products. There are two methods for installing tile in stainless steel vessels; direct bond and thick bed mortar over diamond wire lath (tack welded to steel shell). Please refer to the Tiled Swimming Pools, Fountains and Spas Technical Design Manual for comlpete information on tiling stainless steel pools and maintaining these installations. Allow the tile or stone installation system to sufficiently cure prior to filling pool, fountain, spa, or water feature with water (as stated in TDS 171 “Bonding Ceramic Tile and Stone To Steel Pools, Spas and Fountains”). The LATICRETE products listed below are ideal for use in submerged stainless steel installations.
