FAQ
What makes pool tiles different from standard tiles?
Pool tiles are built to withstand continuous water exposure, chlorine, UV rays, and temperature changes. Made from durable, non-porous materials such as porcelain and glass, they maintain their structure, color, and finish in submerged or outdoor settings - features that regular interior tiles typically lack.
Which materials are best for pool tiles?
Porcelain and glass are the leading choices due to their strength, minimal water absorption, and long-lasting performance. Porcelain offers durability with versatile design options, while glass delivers vibrant color and light reflection for a premium look. Natural stone adds an organic feel but usually requires sealing. AquaBlu provides one of the largest online selections to suit any project.
Why is frost resistance important in porcelain pool tiles?
Frost resistance protects tiles from cracking or damage during freeze-thaw cycles. Our porcelain and glass collections are engineered to perform reliably in both hot and cold climates.
Which finish is best for porcelain pool tiles?
Matte finishes provide slip resistance in wet, high-traffic areas, while glossy finishes enhance depth of color and deliver a polished surface. The right finish depends on your balance of safety and style.
Are there any drawbacks to porcelain pool tiles?
Porcelain is exceptionally strong and low-maintenance. Its main limitation is that it does not reflect light as glass does. For added character, explore our zellige-look porcelain tiles, which offer handcrafted style with modern durability.
Is porcelain a good option for swimming pools?
Yes. Porcelain is dense, non-porous, and resistant to chemicals and weather conditions, making it suitable for both pool interiors and surrounding areas. It’s important to use pool-rated porcelain for the best performance. AquaBlu carries premium options specifically designed for aquatic use.
Do porcelain pool tiles need soaking before installation?
No. Because porcelain is dense and non-porous, soaking is unnecessary. Ensure tiles are clean and free of dust for proper adhesion.
How long do pool tiles last?
When installed correctly and maintained with balanced water chemistry, pool tiles can last for decades. Waterline and accent tiles typically last 10-20 years, while high-quality porcelain and glass tiles may last longer. Following TCNA installation guidelines helps maximize lifespan.
What is the most durable pool tile material?
Porcelain is widely recognized for its density, low water absorption, and resistance to stains, chemicals, and cracking. For outdoor areas, 2cm porcelain pavers and coping deliver outstanding durability and style.
What tile thickness is recommended for pools?
Pool tiles typically range from 6-10mm in thickness. Glass mosaics are usually 6-8mm, while porcelain tiles are 8-10mm. For coping and decking, thicker 20mm porcelain or natural stone is preferred for strength and resistance to outdoor wear.
What mistakes should be avoided with porcelain pool tiles?
Avoid using abrasive cleaners, which can scratch the tile surface. Always use pool-rated adhesives and grouts. Applying a waterproofing membrane such as Basecrete adds protection against moisture and helps extend the life of your installation.
Which tile types are best for pool interiors?
Glass and porcelain are the top choices thanks to their non-porous nature, chemical resistance, and lasting durability. Glass creates rich color and reflective effects, while porcelain offers versatile designs with exceptional strength.
What tiles work best around a pool?
For pool decks and patios, choose slip-resistant porcelain or glass tiles rated for outdoor use. Pairing them with 2cm porcelain pavers and coping ensures a cohesive design that balances safety and durability.
Where can porcelain pool tiles be installed?
Porcelain pool tiles are highly versatile and can be used in pools, spas, bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor living spaces. Their durability makes them suitable for both submerged and exposed applications.
What are coping tiles?
Coping tiles cap the pool’s edge, creating a safe, smooth transition between the water and surrounding deck while protecting the pool structure. They are available in porcelain, marble, travertine, and other natural stones to suit both functional and aesthetic needs.
