| Hi there,
We are resurfacing our pool at the moment including the replacement of the waterline tile. We would like to use a carrara marble mosaic (see attached picture) that is 3/8" thick. The marble is honed so that etching should not be a huge problem. Would this kind of marble be suitable for a pool waterline? Does anyone have experience with a marble waterline?

| Get with a very knowledgeable stone person prior to doing this. You have it backwards on the honed surface. The honed surface actually makes it more porous. That surface can be effected by the slightest amount of acidicness, as it will essentially dissolve the honed surface leaving a very dull and chalky look. If you did a tumbled, or some brushed marbles it would not have that sheen, so less of an issue. I personally wouldn't recommend it. |
