Living Style Series Porcelain Tile & Pavers

Pool tiles are specifically engineered to endure constant water exposure, chlorine, UV rays, and fluctuating temperatures. Crafted from non-porous, durable materials like glass and porcelain, they maintain their structure, color, and finish even in submerged or outdoor environments - qualities standard interior tiles lack.

Porcelain and glass are the most common choices for their strength, low water absorption, and long-lasting performance. Porcelain offers versatility and a wide range of designs, while glass provides vivid color, light reflection, and a premium finish. Natural stone can also be used for a more organic look, though sealing is usually required. AquaBlu offers one of the largest online selections to fit every project.

Frost resistance prevents cracking or damage from freeze-thaw cycles. Both our porcelain and glass tiles are engineered to handle extreme temperatures, ensuring reliable performance year after year.

Matte finishes enhance slip resistance for wet areas, while glossy finishes create a polished, reflective look. Selecting the right finish balances safety and visual appeal based on your project’s needs.

Porcelain is extremely durable and low-maintenance. Its main limitation is that it doesn’t reflect light like glass tiles. For added texture, explore our zellige-look porcelain tiles, offering a handcrafted, artistic appearance.

Absolutely. Porcelain is strong, water-resistant, and durable against chemicals and weather. It’s suitable for both pool interiors and surrounding areas, as long as pool-rated porcelain is used. AquaBlu provides tiles specifically designed for aquatic environments.

No. Porcelain’s dense, non-porous nature means soaking isn’t necessary. Tiles should be clean and dust-free to ensure proper adhesion.

With proper installation, water balance, and maintenance, pool tiles can last for decades. Waterline and accent tiles typically last 10-20 years, while premium porcelain and glass tiles may last even longer. Using high-quality adhesives and following TCNA guidelines maximizes lifespan.

Porcelain is widely recognized for its density, low absorption, and resistance to chemicals, stains, and cracking. For surrounding areas, 2cm porcelain pavers and coping offer exceptional outdoor durability.

Pool tiles range from 6-10mm thick. Glass mosaics are typically 6-8mm, while porcelain tiles are 8-10mm. For coping and decking, 20mm porcelain or natural stone is preferred for strength and freeze-thaw resistance.

Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch surfaces and always use pool-rated adhesives and grouts. Installing a waterproofing membrane like Basecrete protects against moisture damage and extends tile life.

Glass and porcelain are top choices, offering chemical resistance, non-porosity, and long-term durability. Glass enhances color and reflection, while porcelain provides strength and versatility.

For pool decks and patios, use slip-resistant porcelain or glass tiles rated for outdoor use. Pairing them with 2cm porcelain pavers and coping ensures durability, safety, and cohesive design.

Porcelain pool tiles are versatile and suitable for pools, spas, kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas. AquaBlu’s experts can help select the ideal tiles for your project.

Coping tiles frame the pool’s edge, providing a smooth transition between water and deck while protecting the pool shell. Available in porcelain, marble, travertine, and other natural stones, coping combines function with a polished finish.
