TITANIUM SERIES GLASS TILE

Keeping your glass pool tile sparkling is simple with the right approach. Use a gentle, non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge to wipe the surface - steer clear of harsh chemicals or rough tools that could cause scratches. Balanced pool chemistry and consistent cleaning are key to maintaining the tile’s brilliance. To avoid mineral buildup like efflorescence, it’s crucial to waterproof the pool shell before tile installation. AquaBlu recommends dependable waterproofing products like Basecrete. For proper installation, choose high-performance epoxy thin sets like Litokol Litoelastic and long-lasting epoxy grouts such as Starlike Evo.
