COTTO DEL CAMPIANO SERIES

Pool tiles are specifically engineered to withstand constant exposure to moisture, chemicals, UV rays, and temperature fluctuations. These non-porous, highly durable tiles are designed for submerged and wet environments. In contrast, regular indoor tiles are not made for such conditions and may crack, discolor, or deteriorate over time when used in pools.

Porcelain and glass remain the leading choices for swimming pools. Porcelain is dense, water-resistant, and available in various textures. Glass offers brilliant color and shine. Natural stone is also used in select areas but usually requires sealing. AquaBlu provides a broad selection to fit every design style.

Tiles exposed to freezing and thawing cycles must resist cracking. Frost-rated porcelain and glass tiles from AquaBlu are made to perform in cold climates, making them ideal for year-round outdoor use.

Matte finishes improve traction on wet surfaces, while glossy tiles highlight color and offer a polished look. AquaBlu offers both finishes designed for poolside use and visual appeal.

Porcelain is very strong and easy to maintain, though it doesn’t have the reflective shine of glass. AquaBlu carries a wide range of porcelain styles, including wood-look and zellige-inspired designs, suitable for any project.

No soaking is necessary. Porcelain’s low water absorption means it’s ready for installation after cleaning the surface. Make sure to remove dust or debris for proper adhesion.

With correct installation using TCNA-approved techniques and regular maintenance, pool tiles can last 10 to 20 years or more. Using the right adhesives and grout is essential for durability.

Porcelain is known for its strength and weather resistance. For outdoor decking, 2cm porcelain pavers provide added safety and structural stability.

Glass mosaics usually range from 6 to 8mm thick, while porcelain tiles for walls or waterlines are typically 8 to 10mm. For coping and high-traffic outdoor spaces, 2cm thickness is recommended.

Avoid common mistakes like using improper adhesives, skipping waterproof membranes such as Basecrete, or neglecting surface preparation. Always use pool-rated products and experienced installers for the best results.

Glass tiles provide brilliant color and shine, while porcelain offers durability and low maintenance. Both are excellent when installed with the right materials and techniques.

Choose porcelain or glass tiles with slip-resistant surfaces designed for outdoor use. AquaBlu’s 2cm porcelain pavers are perfect for decks and walkways and coordinate well with matching coping.

Porcelain tile is highly versatile—ideal for outdoor showers, spas, kitchen backsplashes, and bathroom walls—thanks to its durability and water resistance.

Pool coping refers to the edge or cap around the pool, providing a finished look and important functions like water runoff control and safe footing. AquaBlu offers coping in porcelain, travertine, and marble to complement your tile choices.
