FAQ
How are pool tiles different from standard tiles?
Pool tiles are specifically manufactured to withstand constant water exposure, pool chemicals, and extreme temperature fluctuations. They feature a non-porous surface and exceptional durability, making them ideal for submerged areas. Standard indoor tiles typically lack these properties, making them unsuitable for wet or submerged environments.
What’s the best material for pool tile installations?
Porcelain and glass are top-rated materials for pool tile applications due to their durability, ease of maintenance, and moisture resistance. Porcelain is known for its strength and design flexibility, while glass offers a shimmering, upscale aesthetic. Natural stone is another option, appreciated for its texture and slip resistance, but it requires regular sealing.

Why does frost resistance matter for pool tile?
Tiles exposed to freeze-thaw conditions must resist cracking. Our porcelain and glass pool tiles are designed with frost resistance in mind, ensuring long-lasting performance in cold climates.
Which tile finish should I choose for porcelain pool tiles?
Finish affects both function and appearance. Matte finishes provide slip resistance, which is great for safety, while glossy tiles deliver vibrant color and a polished look. Consider your design goals and where the tile will be installed when choosing a finish.
Are there any downsides to using porcelain pool tiles?
Porcelain tiles offer many benefits, including strength and style. While they may not provide the same luminous quality as glass tiles, they remain a top choice for pools. Explore trending looks such as zellige in our porcelain pool tile collection.
Is porcelain tile a good choice for pools?
Absolutely. Porcelain tiles resist water, chemicals, and temperature changes, making them ideal for pools. Be sure to use pool-rated porcelain tiles, like those found at AquaBlu, for best results.
Should I soak porcelain tiles before installation?
Typically no, since porcelain absorbs very little water. Just make sure tiles are clean and free of debris prior to setting to ensure a strong bond.
How long do pool tiles last?
With proper installation, high-quality materials, and routine maintenance, pool tiles can last 10–20 years or more. To maximize lifespan, follow best practices from the TCNA and work with reliable installers.
Which tile type is the most durable for pools?
Porcelain is one of the most durable options due to its low absorption rate and resistance to wear. For decks, 2cm-thick porcelain pavers offer added strength. Explore AquaBlu’s collection of 2cm porcelain pavers for long-lasting outdoor surfaces.
What is the ideal thickness for pool tiles?
Thickness depends on the material and application. Glass tiles are usually 6–8mm thick, while porcelain tiles range from 8–10mm. For coping and decking, 20mm (2cm) tiles are commonly used to withstand heavy foot traffic and freeze-thaw cycles.
What common mistakes should I avoid with porcelain pool tile?
Skip harsh cleaners or abrasive tools that can damage the surface. Use approved materials and proper waterproofing systems like Basecrete during installation to prevent issues like efflorescence.
Which tiles work best for pool applications?
Porcelain and glass tiles are top choices for pool projects. Porcelain is ideal for structural and slip-resistant needs, while glass delivers vibrant visual appeal. Both resist chemical and water damage effectively.
What tiles are best for areas surrounding a pool?
Choose tiles rated for exterior use and wet conditions. Look for anti-slip porcelain or textured glass tiles. For a seamless design, consider pairing porcelain coping with matching 2cm porcelain pavers.
Where can porcelain pool tiles be used?
Porcelain tiles are incredibly versatile and suitable for pools, spas, outdoor patios, bathrooms, and kitchens. Their durability and design options make them a great fit across a range of indoor and outdoor spaces.
What are coping tiles and why are they important?
Coping tiles line the pool edge, providing a finished look and helping protect the pool structure. They also improve safety by creating a smoother transition between pool and deck. Choose from porcelain, travertine, marble, or remodel coping options in our coping tile collection.
