FAQ
What sets pool tiles apart from standard tiles?
Pool tiles are specially designed to withstand continuous water exposure, pool chemicals, and temperature fluctuations. They are non-porous, highly durable, and built for submerged or outdoor use. Standard interior tiles lack these features and are not suitable for aquatic environments.
Which materials work best for pool tiles?
Porcelain and glass are the most common choices due to their durability, low water absorption, and longevity. Porcelain provides versatility and a wide range of design options, while glass delivers vibrant color, light reflection, and a premium aesthetic. Natural stone is also an option for a more organic look, though sealing is often required. AquaBlu offers one of the most extensive online selections to suit every project.
Why is frost resistance important in porcelain pool tiles?
Frost resistance ensures tiles won’t crack or deteriorate in freezing conditions. Both our porcelain and glass collections are engineered to handle freeze-thaw cycles, providing long-lasting performance year after year.
Which finish should I choose for porcelain pool tiles?
The best finish depends on your priorities. Matte finishes increase slip resistance, making them a safer choice for wet areas. Glossy finishes add depth and shine, creating a polished look. With several options available, you can find the right balance of safety and style.
Are there drawbacks to porcelain pool tiles?
Porcelain is extremely durable and low-maintenance. The only limitation is that it doesn’t reflect light in the same way as glass. For a more handcrafted look, explore our zellige-look porcelain tiles, which bring extra character and charm.
Is porcelain tile a good choice for swimming pools?
Yes. Porcelain is an excellent option due to its strength, water resistance, and durability against weather and chemicals. It’s suitable for both pool interiors and surrounding areas, provided that pool-rated porcelain is used. AquaBlu offers porcelain tiles specifically engineered for aquatic installations.
Do porcelain tiles need to be soaked before installation?
No. Because porcelain is dense and non-porous, soaking isn’t required. Simply ensure the tiles are clean and free of dust before installation for proper adhesion.
How long can pool tiles last?
With correct installation and care, pool tiles can last for decades. Waterline and accent tiles generally last 10-20 years, while premium porcelain and glass tiles often last even longer. Proper installation, balanced water chemistry, and quality materials are essential. Refer to the TCNA for best practices.
What is the most durable pool tile?
Porcelain is widely considered the most durable due to its density, low absorption, and resistance to chemicals, stains, and cracking. For pool surrounds, 2cm porcelain pavers and coping provide exceptional strength and performance outdoors.
What tile thickness works best in pools?
Pool tiles are typically 6-10mm thick. Glass mosaics usually range from 6-8mm, while porcelain tiles are around 8-10mm. For coping and decking, thicker 20mm porcelain or natural stone is recommended for durability and freeze-thaw protection.
What mistakes should be avoided with porcelain pool tiles?
Avoid abrasive cleaning tools that can scratch the surface. Use non-abrasive, pool-safe brushes instead. Another common mistake is using the wrong materials during installation. Always select pool-rated adhesives and grouts, and consider a waterproofing membrane like Basecrete to prevent moisture damage and extend tile life.
Which tile materials are best for pool interiors?
Glass and porcelain are the top choices for pool interiors. Both are non-porous, chemical resistant, and designed for long-term durability. Glass adds rich color and reflection, while porcelain offers strength and versatility.
What type of tile is best around a pool?
For pool surrounds, choose porcelain or glass tiles rated for outdoor use, with slip resistance and freeze-thaw durability. Pairing them with 2cm porcelain pavers and coping creates a cohesive, durable design for decks and patios.
Where can porcelain pool tiles be installed?
Porcelain pool tiles are highly versatile and suitable for pools, spas, kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces. Their durability and weather resistance make them an excellent choice for submerged and exposed applications alike. AquaBlu’s experts can help you find the best option for your project.
What are coping tiles?
Coping tiles are the edge pieces that frame a pool, creating a smooth transition between the water and deck. They help protect the pool shell and provide a finished appearance. Available in porcelain, marble, travertine, and other natural stones, coping balances function with design appeal.
