Your thoughts
Suppliers around here are pushing a large (30cmx30cm) mosaic effect tile for swimming pools. I was always led to believe that conventional swimming pool tiles were smaller (25cmx12cm ) so that when the pool filled they would flex as the walls flexed. I am a bit worried about using larger format tiles even if the walls and floor are absolutely flat, just in case they crack. Anyone had experience with these or any engineers feedback . All thoughts welcome !

Re: Your thoughts
I think that if the prep work is carried out properly, you check that the tiles are suitable to be completely submerged in water (a lot of tiles are not) you should be fine and the tiles are correctly installed and grouted you will be fine.
