FAQ
Can glass pool tiles withstand harsh pool chemicals and sun exposure?
Yes! Our collection of glass pool tiles is engineered to resist UV rays, pool chemicals, and extreme temperatures, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. Explore our curated selection of glass tile finishes built to last in any environment.
Do you offer sample tiles?
We sure do! At AquaBlu, we offer sample tiles so you can experience the color, texture, and quality firsthand before making a full purchase. Don’t forget - grout is also an important design element. You can request samples of physical grout channel sticks to help finalize your design choices.
What’s the difference between iridescent, matte, and glossy glass tiles?
Iridescent glass tiles shine with color-shifting reflections that change with lighting. Matte tiles offer a smooth, modern finish with minimal shine, while glossy tiles are highly reflective and bold. The right finish depends on your design goals and desired level of shine or texture.
Are glass tiles difficult to clean or maintain?
Not at all! Glass mosaic tiles are non-porous and easy to clean using a soft brush and a mild, pool-safe cleaner. For best results, visit our Tile Cleaning Solutions page to find the perfect maintenance products.
Are glass pool tiles suitable for the entire pool interior?
Absolutely. Glass tiles can be used to fully finish a pool or to add luxurious accents to steps, waterlines, benches, spas, and sun shelves. Their stunning color and reflectivity elevate any pool design, although they do represent a more premium investment.
Are glass pool tiles safe and slip resistant?
While glass tiles tend to have a smooth surface, the grout joints between them provide natural traction. For wet, high-traffic zones like tanning ledges or pool steps, we recommend using tiles with a matte or slip-resistant finish. For safety guidelines and standards, check out the TCNA website.
How do glass tiles compare to plaster or pebble finishes?
Glass tile offers a longer-lasting and more visually striking finish than plaster or pebble alternatives. It’s easier to clean, requires less maintenance, and resists common pool issues like staining and fading. Though the upfront cost is higher, the long-term value and aesthetics make it a worthwhile upgrade.
Are glass pool tiles customizable?
Yes! Brands like American Glass Mosaics and Murrine Mosaics offer custom blends, colors, and patterns. AquaBlu is also a custom mosaic house, partnering with domestic and international factories to help bring your creative vision to life.
Do you offer discounts for large or commercial orders?

How do I clean and maintain these tiles?
Glass tiles require minimal upkeep and are easy to maintain with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive tools or harsh chemicals to preserve the smooth surface. With regular care, they’ll continue to shine and impress for years to come.
Can I cut these tiles for custom installations?
Yes, glass tiles can be cut using a wet saw fitted with a diamond blade designed for glass. It’s important to use plenty of water during cutting to reduce chipping and achieve clean, smooth edges. Take your time and use proper tools for best results.
