Flower Glass Series Glass Tile

Keeping your glass pool tile gleaming is easy with proper care. Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge - avoid harsh chemicals or rough scrubbing. Consistent pool maintenance and balanced water chemistry keep the shine bright. To prevent mineral buildup like efflorescence, waterproof the pool shell before tiling. AquaBlu offers practical waterproofing solutions such as Basecrete. For a secure installation, we also recommend premium epoxy thin sets like Litokol Litoelastic and resilient epoxy grouts such as Starlike Evo.

These outperform traditional mortars by creating a durable, waterproof seal that protects your pool’s beauty for years. Contact AquaBlu for installation advice tailored to your project.

Polished glass tile may be slippery when wet, but many modern pool glass tiles feature textured or frosted finishes that enhance traction. Grout lines also add grip. Glossy tiles shine on vertical surfaces like waterlines or accent walls, while matte or anti-slip glass tiles are ideal for steps and sun shelves. Need help choosing?

Replacing glass pool tiles can be tricky. AquaBlu recommends ordering approximately 10% extra tile upfront to cover future repairs and maintain color consistency. This “insurance” simplifies replacement. If you didn’t order extras, it’s a great chance to reimagine your design with new glass tiles.

Finishes refer to surface textures, not just color. Choose from glossy, matte, iridescent, frosted, etched, and textured options. For safe, wet areas like sun shelves or entry steps, anti-slip finishes are also available. AquaBlu offers a wide variety of finishes, colors, shapes, and sizes to match any vision. 

No. Glass pool tile is fully non-porous and does not absorb water or chemicals, eliminating the need for sealers. This reduces maintenance and preserves the tile’s luster. For wet environments, always use impervious materials such as glass or porcelain tiles.
