This Scottsdale Golf Resort backyard space received the ‘Alpentile
Treatment’ as we brought designer Wendy Lesueur’s vision to life. Under
the direction of Mark Coble, Coble Construction, this year-long project
finished with a bang last month when we completed this absolutely
stunning Oceanside Glasstile mosaic spa and sun-shelf.
BEFORE
Our Process began months before, with
a lot of prep work in the pool. Here Amy prepares for a bonded mortar
bed. We actually bond the mortar with modified thinset for a superior
bond strength.
Here Luke screeds mortar for a perfectly
flat tiling surface. These details add time and labor to the
installation process, and truly differentiate the product we deliver.
Luke prepares the fountain spillway for
floating, we need to achieve a perfectly level surface for the water to
spill over evenly.
In this photo of the installation process
in the spa, you can see our perfectly flat substrate which has been
waterproofed and also has an anti fracture membrane applied. Luke and
DJ are installing the radius tile on the bench, and Albert is back
buttering the tiles with grout. This installation method results in the
flattest, most even surface.
Our favorite moment in the installation is when we remove the
paper for our first glimpse of tile…
And here is the finished work – We also love to use Oceanside Glasstile’s trim pieces, for a seamless and smooth transition in any pool/spa. The rounded corners feel and look great. The base of this spa is a custom fabricated medallion, in-house, and is a signature of Alpentile’s installations.
