Mirage Series Glass Tile

Keeping your glass pool tile sparkling clean is easy with the proper care. Use a gentle, non-abrasive cleaner paired with a soft cloth or sponge to prevent scratching the delicate surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that can damage the tile’s finish. Regular pool maintenance and balanced water chemistry also play a crucial role in maintaining that brilliant, glossy shine. To prevent white mineral deposits known as efflorescence, it’s important to waterproof the pool shell before installing the tile. AquaBlu provides effective, user-friendly waterproofing solutions such as Basecrete. For optimal tile adhesion and durability, we highly recommend premium epoxy thin sets like Litokol Litoelastic along with resilient epoxy grouts such as Starlike Evo.

Polished glass tiles can be slippery when wet; however, many glass pool tiles now come with textured or frosted finishes that enhance traction. Additionally, grout lines contribute extra grip underfoot. Consider the tile placement carefully: glossy, smooth tiles work best on vertical surfaces like waterlines and accent walls where there’s minimal foot traffic. For walkable areas such as sun shelves or shallow steps, it’s wise to select matte or anti-slip glass tiles to improve safety. If you need guidance on tile selection, AquaBlu’s knowledgeable team is available via chat, email, or phone to assist you.
