FAQ

How are pool tiles different from regular indoor tiles?

Pool tiles are specially designed to withstand constant water exposure and outdoor elements. They are non-porous, durable, and resistant to pool chemicals, UV rays, and temperature changes. Standard indoor tiles, on the other hand, are not built for these conditions and can crack, fade, or deteriorate when exposed to moisture and weather.

What materials are best for pool tiles?

The most popular choices are porcelain and glass. Porcelain is dense, water-resistant, and available in a wide range of styles. Glass offers unmatched color depth and reflectivity, making it a favorite for waterlines and decorative accents. Natural stone is another option, valued for its organic beauty, though it typically requires sealing and ongoing maintenance.

Why is frost resistance important in pool tile?

In colder climates, freeze-thaw cycles can damage porous tiles as trapped moisture expands when frozen. Frost-resistant porcelain and glass tiles from AquaBlu are engineered to prevent this issue, ensuring long-term performance in all seasons.

Which tile finishes work best for pools?

For pool decks and walkways, matte or textured finishes improve traction and safety. Glossy finishes are ideal for waterlines, providing a reflective and polished appearance. AquaBlu offers both to balance function with style.

Does porcelain tile have any drawbacks?

Porcelain is one of the most durable and low-maintenance pool tile options. Its only limitation is that it doesn’t reflect light as vividly as glass. However, with styles like zellige-inspired and wood-look porcelain, it remains a versatile and popular choice.

Can porcelain tile be used underwater?

Yes. Pool-grade porcelain is designed for full water immersion, making it a reliable choice for interiors, steps, and waterlines.

Do I need to soak porcelain tile before installation?

No, Porcelain has an extremely low absorption rate and can be installed immediately once clean and free of dust.

How long do pool tiles last?

With proper installation and regular maintenance, pool tiles can last 10-20 years or more. Following TCNA standards, using waterproofing, and selecting quality adhesives and grout all help extend their lifespan.

What’s the most durable tile for pools?

Porcelain is considered the most durable, withstanding water, chemicals, and temperature shifts. For coping and decks, AquaBlu’s 2cm porcelain pavers provide extra strength and slip resistance.

How thick should pool tiles be?

Pool tiles typically range from 6-10mm. Glass mosaics are usually 6-8mm, while porcelain is 8-10mm. For high-traffic areas like decks or coping, 2cm tiles offer added durability.

What installation mistakes should I avoid?

Avoid using adhesives not rated for pools, skipping waterproofing, or failing to prepare the surface correctly. These errors can cause premature failure. For best results, use systems like Basecrete and work with experienced professionals.

What tile is best for the pool interior?

Both glass and porcelain are excellent. Glass creates luminous depth and sparkle, while porcelain provides superior durability and easy maintenance. Always confirm tiles are rated for underwater use.

What tile works best around the pool perimeter?

For patios, walkways, and surrounding areas, textured outdoor-rated porcelain is ideal. AquaBlu’s 2cm porcelain pavers are slip-resistant and built for outdoor performance.

Where else can porcelain pool tile be used?

Porcelain is highly versatile. Beyond pools, it works beautifully in spas, bathrooms, showers, patios, and even as a kitchen backsplash, thanks to its durability and moisture resistance.

What is pool coping and why is it important?

Pool coping is the edge between the pool shell and the surrounding deck. It protects the structure, directs water flow, and gives the pool a clean, finished look. Coping also improves safety by creating a slip-resistant edge. Popular choices include porcelain, travertine, and marble.
