FAQ
How do pool tiles differ from standard indoor tiles?
Pool tiles are specifically engineered to withstand constant exposure to water, chemicals, UV rays, and temperature fluctuations. They are non-porous, highly durable, and suitable for submerged and outdoor use. Standard indoor tiles are not designed for these conditions and may crack, fade, or deteriorate when exposed to moisture or outdoor elements.
Which materials are best for pool tiles?
Porcelain and glass are top choices. Porcelain is dense, water-resistant, and available in numerous designs. Glass offers vibrant color and reflective qualities, ideal for waterlines and decorative accents. Natural stone provides an organic, textured look but often requires sealing and additional maintenance.
Why is frost resistance important?
Frost-resistant tiles prevent cracking due to freeze-thaw cycles in colder climates. AquaBlu’s porcelain and glass tiles are designed to endure seasonal temperature changes for long-lasting performance.
Which finishes work best for pool areas?
Matte or textured finishes enhance traction on decks and walkways, while glossy finishes create reflective, polished accents for waterlines. AquaBlu offers both to balance safety and style.
Are there drawbacks to porcelain pool tiles?
Porcelain is durable and low-maintenance, but it does not reflect light like glass. Styles such as zellige-inspired or wood-look porcelain expand design possibilities.
Can porcelain be submerged underwater?
Yes. Pool-grade porcelain is designed for full immersion, making it suitable for interiors, steps, and waterlines.
Do porcelain tiles require soaking before installation?
No. Porcelain has very low water absorption and can be installed once cleaned and dust-free.
How long do pool tiles last?
With proper installation and maintenance, pool tiles can last 10–20 years or more. Following TCNA guidelines and using high-quality waterproofing, adhesives, and grout extends their lifespan.
What is the most durable tile for pools?
Porcelain is highly durable, resistant to water, chemicals, and temperature changes. AquaBlu’s 2cm porcelain pavers add extra strength and slip resistance for decks and coping.
What thickness should pool tiles be?
Pool tiles generally range from 6–10mm. Glass mosaics are typically 6–8mm, porcelain 8–10mm. For decks or high-traffic areas, 2cm tiles provide additional durability.
What installation mistakes should be avoided?
Avoid using non-pool-rated adhesives, skipping waterproofing, or inadequate surface preparation. Use systems like Basecrete and hire experienced installers for optimal results.
Which tiles work best inside the pool?
Glass and porcelain are both excellent. Glass adds sparkle and reflection, while porcelain offers strength and easy maintenance. Ensure all tiles are certified for underwater use.
Which tiles are best around the pool?
Textured, outdoor-rated porcelain is ideal for patios, decks, and walkways. AquaBlu’s 2cm pavers offer slip resistance and long-term durability.
Where else can porcelain pool tiles be used?
Porcelain is versatile for spas, showers, bathrooms, patios, and kitchen backsplashes, offering reliable moisture resistance and durability across multiple applications.
What is pool coping and why is it important?
Pool coping is the edge between the pool shell and surrounding deck. It protects the structure, directs water flow, provides a slip-resistant surface, and creates a polished, finished look. Common materials include porcelain, travertine, and marble.
