Pool tiles are engineered to endure continuous exposure to water, pool chemicals, and fluctuating temperatures. Their non-porous nature and high durability make them ideal for submerged environments. In contrast, standard indoor tiles lack the necessary resistance to moisture and chemicals, making them unsuitable for wet or submerged use.
Porcelain and glass are widely regarded as the top materials for pool tile applications due to their superior durability, low maintenance, and water resistance. Porcelain offers design flexibility and strength, while glass tiles add a luxurious, reflective finish. Natural stone is another option, known for its organic texture and slip resistance, though it requires sealing. We offer the largest online selection of swimming pool tiles. Contact our team for expert guidance on your project!
Frost resistance ensures that tiles can endure freezing conditions without cracking—vital for outdoor use in cold climates. Our porcelain and glass tiles are designed to handle such extremes, offering long-term durability and reduced maintenance.
Finish impacts both style and safety. Matte finishes provide slip resistance, making them ideal for wet areas. Glossy finishes, on the other hand, intensify color and lend a high-end look. Choose based on your aesthetic goals and where the tile will be used.
Porcelain tiles offer many benefits and few drawbacks. While they lack the shimmering effect of glass tiles, porcelain remains one of the most durable and timeless materials for pools. Explore trending styles like zellige in our porcelain pool tile collection at AquaBlu.
Yes, porcelain tiles are exceptionally suited for swimming pools. They resist water, chemicals, and temperature changes. Not all porcelain tiles are created equal, though—only tiles made specifically for pools should be used. At AquaBlu, we carry only premium brands tailored for pool environments.
Soaking is generally not required due to porcelain's low water absorption. Just ensure the tiles are clean and debris-free before installation for optimal adhesion.
With quality materials, expert installation, and proper care, pool tile can last 10–20 years or even longer. While this depends on climate and chemical exposure, well-maintained tile outperforms other finishes. Hire a professional, use approved materials per the TCNA, and select tile from trusted brands for the best outcome.
Porcelain tiles lead in durability due to their low absorption and high resistance to wear. For pool decks, 2cm-thick porcelain pavers offer added strength. Browse AquaBlu’s extensive 2cm paver collection for a low-maintenance, high-performance pool surround.
Pool tile thickness varies by type and use. Glass mosaics typically range from 6mm–8mm, while porcelain tiles range from 8mm–10mm. For pool coping and decks, thicker 20mm (2cm) tiles or natural stone are common due to their strength and resistance to freeze-thaw cycles.
Avoid using abrasive tools, which can damage the tile finish. Stick to soft brushes and proper cleaning agents. For installation, use pool-rated materials and waterproofing like Basecrete to prevent issues such as efflorescence and ensure long-term performance.
Porcelain and glass tiles are the best pool choices due to their strength and beauty. Porcelain is ideal for interior and exterior use, while glass tiles provide brilliant colors and visual impact. Both resist water and chemicals effectively.
For pool surrounds, use tiles specifically manufactured for outdoor use. Anti-slip porcelain or glass tiles that meet pool safety and durability standards are key. For a cohesive look, pair matching coping with 2cm porcelain pavers from AquaBlu.
Porcelain pool tiles are incredibly versatile—suitable for pools, spas, patios, kitchens, and bathrooms. Their durability and aesthetic range allow you to unify design across indoor and outdoor spaces. Contact our team for personalized recommendations.
