Question Posted By: Denna Wednesday, January 24 2007 15:04:58 Suggest Answer

I am wanting to create hand-carved tiles for installation in a swimming pool. What kind of clay should be used and at what temperature should the clay be fired to withstand water and temperature changes of the outside? If anyone knows about swimming pool tiles please reply.

    Denna,

    If your dealing with the freeze thaw factor, you need to work with either stneware or porcelain clay bodies. Cone 5 or higher.
