Can I order samples before committing to a purchase?
Yes! At AquaBlu, we encourage ordering samples so you can evaluate color, texture, and finish before making a decision. Each product page offers an “Order Sample” option. For grout selection, we also provide physical grout channel stick samples upon request, ensuring a well-matched final look.
What are the finish options for glass tiles?
Iridescent finishes offer a shimmering, multi-color effect. Matte options provide a softer, modern touch with low reflectivity, while glossy finishes give off vibrant color and a polished appearance. Your selection should reflect your design goals and lighting preferences.
Are glass tiles hard to maintain?
Glass tiles are non-porous and low-maintenance. A soft brush or sponge with a mild pool-safe cleaner is usually all that’s needed. For more on proper care, check out our Tile Cleaning Solutions collection.
Can glass tiles be used throughout the entire pool?
Absolutely. Glass tiles are suitable for complete pool interiors as well as accents like waterlines, steps, and sun shelves. Their luminous effect enhances both small and large surfaces, bringing a high-end look to any design.
Do glass pool tiles provide enough traction?
While glass tiles have a smooth surface, the grout lines between them often provide sufficient grip. For slip-prone areas like entry steps or tanning ledges, choose matte or anti-slip finishes for added safety. Refer to the TCNA for additional guidelines on tile safety and finishes.
How does glass tile compare to other pool finishes?
Glass tile stands out for its vivid colors, long lifespan, and low maintenance. While it typically costs more upfront than plaster or pebble alternatives, its visual appeal and durability often outweigh the investment over time.

Yes. Through partnerships with brands like American Glass Mosaics and Murrine Mosaics, AquaBlu offers custom colors, patterns, and blends. Learn more on our Custom Mosaics page or contact us to bring your unique vision to life.

Can I cut glass tiles during installation?
Yes, glass tiles can be cut using a wet saw fitted with a diamond blade made for glass. Always use adequate water flow to reduce chipping and achieve clean, precise cuts.
