Classic Pool Tile

Pool tile is specifically engineered to withstand harsh outdoor and submerged environments. Unlike standard household tiles, pool tiles - typically made from glass or porcelain - are highly durable, non-porous, and resistant to fading, cracking, and chemical corrosion. They're designed to handle constant exposure to water, UV rays, temperature extremes, and pool chemicals, making them the ideal choice for long-term performance and aesthetic appeal in aquatic settings.

With proper installation and ongoing care, pool tiles from AquaBlu Mosaics can last for decades. Longevity depends on key factors including high-quality thin-set and grout usage, routine cleaning, water chemistry balance, and optional waterproofing. These practices help maintain vibrant color, structural integrity, and surface cleanliness over time.

Waterline tile serves both aesthetic and functional roles. Positioned just below the coping, this 6-inch band prevents "bathtub rings" from oils and debris, thanks to its non-porous, easy-to-clean surface. Available in a wide range of colors and textures - including iridescent glass - waterline tile enhances visual appeal while simplifying pool maintenance.

Glass tiles reflect and refract light, creating a luminous, iridescent effect that adds depth and sparkle to your pool. Porcelain tiles offer a more traditional, solid-color look with matte or glossy finishes. While their visual impact differs, both materials are highly durable and well-suited for underwater use. 

No. Indoor tiles are not made to endure outdoor exposure, water submersion, or chemical treatment. Using them in pools can result in cracking, discoloration, and adhesion failure. Always choose tiles rated for pool use to ensure durability and safety.
