KIT-KAT SERIES PORCELAIN TILE

Pool tiles are engineered to handle continuous exposure to water, pool chemicals, UV rays, and temperature changes. They are non-porous, durable, and safe for submerged and outdoor applications. Standard indoor tiles, by contrast, are not built for these conditions and may crack, fade, or deteriorate when exposed to moisture and outdoor elements.

Porcelain and glass are the most reliable options. Porcelain is dense, water-resistant, and available in a wide range of styles. Glass adds vibrant color and reflective qualities, perfect for waterlines and decorative features. Natural stone creates an organic, textured look but often requires sealing and ongoing maintenance.

Frost-resistant tiles prevent damage caused by freeze-thaw cycles in colder climates. AquaBlu’s porcelain and glass tiles are built to withstand seasonal temperature changes, ensuring long-term durability.

Matte and textured finishes improve safety on pool decks and walkways, while glossy finishes add reflective elegance to waterlines. AquaBlu offers both, so you can balance traction and style.

Porcelain is durable and low-maintenance but lacks the shimmering effect of glass. However, styles such as zellige-inspired or wood-look porcelain provide versatile design alternatives.

Yes. Pool-grade porcelain is specifically designed for underwater use, making it suitable for interiors, steps, and waterlines.

No. Because porcelain has very low absorption, it can be installed directly once clean and dust-free.

With proper installation and care, pool tiles can last 10-20 years or more. Following TCNA guidelines and using quality waterproofing, adhesives, and grout further extends their lifespan.

Porcelain is highly durable and resistant to water, chemicals, and temperature changes. AquaBlu’s 2cm porcelain pavers provide added strength and slip resistance for decks and coping.

Pool tiles typically range from 6-10mm. Glass mosaics are generally 6-8mm, while porcelain is 8-10mm. For decks and high-traffic areas, 2cm tiles deliver extra durability.

Avoid using adhesives not rated for pool applications, skipping waterproofing, or neglecting proper surface preparation. Using products like Basecrete and hiring experienced installers helps ensure long-lasting results.

Both glass and porcelain perform exceptionally well. Glass offers sparkle and light reflection, while porcelain delivers strength and easy maintenance. Always confirm tiles are certified for underwater use.

Outdoor-rated, textured porcelain is ideal for decks, patios, and walkways. AquaBlu’s 2cm pavers provide lasting slip resistance and strength.

Porcelain’s versatility extends to spas, showers, bathrooms, patios, and even kitchen backsplashes. Its water resistance and durability make it suitable for many applications.

Pool coping is the protective edge between the pool shell and surrounding deck. It safeguards the structure, directs water flow, enhances safety with slip resistance, and provides a polished, finished appearance. Common options include porcelain, travertine, and marble.
