Why do you want a pool?

“If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.” 

Loran Eisely, anthropologist

 As humans we have always been drawn to the magic of water. Our ancient ancestors had to seek out water to survive. Even now we are unconsciously drawn to glossy objects, with recent research with adults and young children testing the hypotheses that the preference for glossy surfaces stems from an innate preference for fresh water as a valuable resource. Your desire for a pool simply shows how in tune you are with our universal human needs.

Ranges

At Dream Tile we scour the globe to source the very best mosaics for your dream pool project,  so that you have the piece of mind knowing that what you are getting, is the quality you deserve. Contact me for a brouchure (Hard Copy) or download the e-brouchure link below.   

"WHY does my pool look blue"

Why does my pool look blue? Look at a glass of tap water and it is clear and colourless. And yet the water in pools and the sea appear to be shades of blue. Why? It’s all about the light. Sunlight is a spectrum of colours, through the rainbow from red to violet. When the light hits an object, some of the colours will be absorbed and some scattered. For example, an apple looks red because it absorbs all the other colours in the light and scatters only red. Water absorbs different wavelengths of sunlight to different degrees, with the longest wavelengths with the lowest energy being absorbed first. Red is the quickest to be absorbed, then orange then yellow. The blue end of the spectrum travels further through water before being absorbed. The colours disappear underwater in the same order. The sea seems to be blue because it absorbs all the other colours and only the blue light is scattered or reflected. A glass of water is too small an amount for the reflection of the blue light to be obvious, but when you fill a white bath with water you will see a blue tint. Clean water always appears blue, and deeper water appears more deeply blue as more of the other colours of the spectrum are absorbed. At what depth underwater do colours disappear? 

Red 4.6m

Orange 7.6m 

Yellow 10.7m – 13.7m

Green 21.3m – 22.
