BAYSHORE PORCELAIN TILE

Pool tiles are engineered to handle continuous exposure to water, pool chemicals, and temperature fluctuations. They are highly durable, non-porous, and designed for wet environments. Regular tiles, typically used indoors, are not built for submersion or outdoor use and may degrade quickly when exposed to moisture or harsh conditions.

Frost resistance helps tiles withstand freezing temperatures without cracking or breaking. This is essential for outdoor pools in colder climates. AquaBlu’s porcelain and glass tiles are frost-rated, ensuring long-lasting performance and reduced maintenance year-round.

While porcelain may lack the shimmer of glass tiles, it excels in durability, low maintenance, and timeless appeal. It’s a reliable and popular choice for pool interiors and exteriors. Discover trending styles like zellige-look porcelain tiles at AquaBlu.

With proper installation and maintenance, waterline and accent pool tiles typically last 10–20 years. Fully tiled pools, using high-quality materials and expert installation, can last even longer. Follow TCNA guidelines, use pool-specific adhesives, and hire professional installers to ensure longevity and aesthetic appeal.

Porcelain is the most durable material for pool tiles, thanks to its density, low absorption, and resistance to stains and chemicals. For pool decks, 2cm porcelain pavers are incredibly strong and provide slip resistance and durability in high-traffic, outdoor environments.

Pool tiles typically range from 6mm to 10mm thick. Glass mosaics are often 6–8mm, while porcelain tiles used for waterlines or feature walls range from 8–10mm. For pool coping or decks, 20mm (2cm) porcelain pavers or stone tiles are ideal due to their strength and resistance to outdoor conditions.

Avoid using abrasive tools that can scratch or dull the tile surface. Use pool-specific brushes and non-abrasive cleaners. Ensure your installer uses high-performance, pool-rated adhesives and applies a waterproofing membrane like Basecrete to protect against moisture damage and efflorescence.

Glass tiles and porcelain tiles are the top choices for pools. Both materials are durable, non-porous, and resistant to chemicals and water. Glass tiles provide vibrant color and a luxurious look, while porcelain offers low maintenance and versatility in design.

Porcelain pool tiles are ideal for pools, spas, bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor areas. Their durability and aesthetic versatility allow you to create cohesive designs across indoor and outdoor living spaces. Contact our team for personalized recommendations.

Pool coping tiles cap the edge of the pool, offering a finished look and smooth transition from pool to deck. They protect the pool’s structure and reduce water infiltration. Available in porcelain, travertine, marble, and other materials, coping tiles enhance both safety and style.
