FAQ
How are pool tiles different from regular tiles?
Pool tiles are specifically crafted to endure constant water exposure, pool chemicals, and outdoor weather changes. They are dense, non-porous, and exceptionally durable, making them suitable for submerged areas and exterior use. Standard tiles, in comparison, are usually intended for indoor spaces and lack the durability required for pool settings.
What materials are best for pool tiles?
Porcelain and glass are the most common materials for pools thanks to their strength and low porosity. Porcelain offers versatile style options and performs well in high-moisture areas. Glass tiles add rich color and a reflective finish while resisting water absorption. Natural stone is another choice for a textured, organic look, though it often requires sealing. AquaBlu provides a wide variety of all three materials to suit your project’s design and performance needs.
Why is frost resistance important in pool tiles?
For outdoor pools in colder regions, frost resistance is essential. These tiles are less likely to crack or deteriorate during freeze-thaw cycles. AquaBlu’s porcelain and glass collections are engineered to withstand harsh winters, ensuring long-lasting durability.
Which finish should I choose for porcelain pool tiles?
The right finish depends on both style and functionality. Matte finishes improve slip resistance, making them ideal for wet and high-traffic areas. Glossy finishes create a sleek, polished appearance with vibrant color but may be more slippery. AquaBlu offers both matte and glossy options to balance safety with design preferences.
Are there any disadvantages to porcelain pool tiles?
Porcelain is strong, versatile, and low-maintenance. The main limitation is that it doesn’t have the shimmering, iridescent quality that glass tiles can provide. For a subtle, classic look, porcelain is a great choice. For a more distinctive style, explore our zellige-look porcelain tiles.
Is porcelain tile a good choice for pools?
Yes. Porcelain is dense, non-porous, and resistant to chemical exposure and temperature fluctuations, making it one of the most dependable options. Always be sure to use pool-rated porcelain, as indoor varieties are not suitable. AquaBlu carries only products designed for underwater and outdoor performance.
Do porcelain tiles need to be soaked before installation?
No. Since porcelain is dense and non-absorbent, soaking is unnecessary. For the best results, make sure the tiles are clean and dry prior to installation.
How long do pool tiles last?
When installed and maintained correctly, porcelain and glass pool tiles can last for decades - often 20 years or more. Longevity depends on installation quality, water chemistry, and care. Following recommendations from the Tile Council of North America (TCNA) can help extend their lifespan.
What is the most durable pool tile material?
Porcelain is considered the most durable option, with excellent resistance to cracking, stains, and pool chemicals. For coping and decking, 2cm porcelain pavers provide extra strength and durability. View our collection of 2cm porcelain pavers and coping for long-lasting outdoor applications.
How thick should pool tiles be?
Pool tiles generally range from 6mm to 10mm thick. Glass mosaics are usually 6–8mm, while porcelain tiles may be slightly thicker. For coping and deck applications, a thickness of 20mm (2cm) is recommended for strength and resistance to freeze-thaw conditions.
What mistakes should be avoided with porcelain pool tiles?
A common mistake is using abrasive cleaners or tools that can scratch the tile surface. Instead, use pool-safe, non-abrasive cleaning methods. During installation, always choose adhesives and grouts formulated for pool use, along with a waterproofing membrane such as Basecrete to protect the substructure.
Which tiles work best inside swimming pools?
Glass and porcelain are the most recommended materials for pool interiors. Glass offers brilliant color and light reflection, while porcelain provides durability and versatility. Both resist water absorption, making them ideal for submerged use.
