FAQ
What makes pool tiles different from regular tiles?
Pool tiles are specifically designed to handle the demands of constant water exposure, pool chemicals, and extreme temperature changes. Made from non-porous, durable materials, they provide the performance needed for submerged and wet areas. In contrast, standard indoor tiles typically lack the resistance required for pool use and may fail in these conditions.
What are the best materials for pool tiles?
Porcelain and glass are top choices for pool tiles thanks to their durability, low maintenance, and water resistance. Porcelain delivers reliable performance with a wide range of textures and colors, while glass tiles offer brilliant color and light reflection. Natural stone is also a stylish option with added traction but may require periodic sealing. Browse our full swimming pool tile collection or contact our team for tailored guidance.

Finish matters for both looks and safety. Matte finishes offer slip resistance for wet areas, while glossy finishes enhance color and deliver a sleek appearance. Choose the finish that best matches your aesthetic and function needs.
