GALAXY SERIES GLASS TILE

Keeping your glass pool tile sparkling is simple with the right care. Use a gentle, non-abrasive cleaner along with a soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratching the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbers. Regular pool maintenance and balanced water chemistry help maintain that brilliant shine. To prevent white mineral deposits (efflorescence), it’s important to waterproof the pool shell before tile installation. AquaBlu offers easy-to-use waterproofing products like Basecrete. For best installation results, we also recommend high-quality epoxy thin sets such as Litokol Litoelastic and durable epoxy grouts like Starlike Evo.

Absolutely! Glass pool tile performs well in spas and hot tubs, even with rapid temperature changes. These tiles are specially designed to withstand thermal shock, making them ideal for heated environments. For guaranteed durability, choose reputable brands like those available at AquaBlu. We focus on tiles engineered for pools, spas, and outdoor use, and can help you select the right product. Avoid generic options from big-box stores or non-specialized retailers. Proper installation with the right adhesives and grouts is critical to ensure longevity.

Polished glass tiles can be slippery when wet, but many glass pool tiles now feature textured or frosted finishes that improve traction. Additionally, grout lines provide extra grip. Consider where the tiles will be installed: glossy, smooth tiles work well on vertical surfaces like waterlines and accent walls where foot traffic is minimal. For walkable areas such as sun shelves or shallow steps, opt for matte or anti-slip glass tiles to enhance safety. If you have questions, AquaBlu’s team is available by chat, email, or phone to assist you.
