NPT Backyard

We were planning a pool remodel and found this app by chance. As it turns out, our first choice of bidding contractors uses NPT tile, finishes, and stonework, almost exclusively. The app provided exactly the kind of help we needed in visualizing how the styles and colors of materials will complement each other. Once you build your virtual pool, don’t forget to try the Augmented Reality (AR) view to see it in 3D in your yard. NPT has a great selection of materials, and this just adds more value and probably helped us confirm our contractor choice.

I tried this app and it’s a great concept, however it does not give an option for basic concrete or step placement at the end and corner of pool. You can’t choose a round spa on the side of the pool, only a square option. And you can’t choose a square spa on the side of the pool.

This is a great app, especially with it being free. Really helpful in this weird time we’re living in where it’s tough to even get to a tile store to view this tiles in person. My one gripe would be that I wish they had every pool tile listed in their catalog. For instance, we really like the polygon tiles they have in the book and would like to see how it looks in a digital mockup on a pool, however it is one of many that is not available in the app. All in all a great FREE app and I can’t be too much of a complainer.
