FAQ
How are pool tiles different from regular tiles?
Pool tiles are specifically designed to endure constant water exposure, pool chemicals, and changing outdoor conditions. Made from dense, non-porous materials such as glass and porcelain, they retain their color, finish, and strength even when submerged. Standard interior tiles are not engineered for these environments and may fade, crack, or deteriorate over time.
Which materials are recommended for pool tiles?
Porcelain and glass are top choices due to their durability, low water absorption, and long-lasting performance. Porcelain offers a variety of textures and slip-resistant finishes, while glass provides reflective brilliance, vibrant color, and a premium look. Natural stone can also be used for a more organic feel, though it typically requires sealing. AquaBlu provides a wide selection to match any design style.
Why is frost resistance important?
Frost-resistant tiles prevent cracking during freeze-thaw cycles. Our porcelain and glass collections are engineered to withstand colder climates, ensuring reliable performance year-round.
Which finish is best for porcelain pool tiles?
Matte finishes improve traction for wet, high-traffic areas, while glossy finishes enhance color depth and provide a polished look. Choose based on your desired balance of safety and aesthetics.
Are there drawbacks to porcelain pool tiles?
Porcelain is highly durable and low-maintenance but lacks the reflective shimmer of glass. For added texture and visual interest, consider our zellige-look porcelain tiles.
Is porcelain suitable for swimming pools?
Yes. Porcelain is dense, water-resistant, and resilient against chemicals and weather exposure. It is ideal for pool interiors, waterlines, and decks when using certified pool-rated products.
How long do pool tiles last?
With proper installation and care, pool tiles can last decades. Waterline and accent tiles typically last 10-20 years, while premium porcelain and glass may endure even longer. Maintaining balanced water chemistry is key. For technical guidance, consult the TCNA.
Which pool tile materials are most durable?
Porcelain is widely recognized for its durability, low water absorption, and resistance to chemicals and temperature changes. For decks, 2 cm porcelain pavers provide maximum strength and longevity.
What thickness is recommended for pool tiles?
Pool tiles generally range from 6-10mm thick. Glass mosaics are typically 6-8mm, and porcelain tiles 8-10mm. For coping and decks, 20mm porcelain or natural stone ensures durability under heavy use and freeze-thaw conditions.
What installation mistakes should be avoided?
Avoid abrasive tools that could damage tile surfaces. Always use pool-rated adhesives and grout, and consider a waterproofing membrane like Basecrete for extra protection.
Which materials work best for pool interiors?
Glass and porcelain are the most reliable choices, offering chemical resistance, non-porous surfaces, and long-lasting performance. Glass provides luminous color and sparkle, while porcelain offers enduring durability and design versatility.
What tiles are best for pool surrounds?
Outdoor-rated, slip-resistant porcelain or glass tiles are ideal for pool decks and surrounding areas. Pairing them with 2 cm porcelain pavers and coping ensures a cohesive, durable, and stylish finish.
Where else can porcelain pool tiles be used?
Porcelain pool tiles are versatile enough for pools, spas, kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces. Their strength and resilience make them suitable for both submerged and exposed installations. AquaBlu’s team can guide you in selecting the perfect style for your project.
