NAMI SERIES PORCELAIN TILE

Pool tiles are specifically engineered to endure constant exposure to water, pool chemicals, and fluctuating temperatures. Constructed from dense, non-porous materials such as glass and porcelain, they retain their color, finish, and structural integrity in aquatic and outdoor environments. Standard interior tiles are not designed for these conditions and often lack the durability needed for long-term performance.

Porcelain and glass are the most popular choices due to their strength, low absorption rates, and longevity. Porcelain offers versatility in style and finish, while glass provides vibrant color, light reflection, and a premium look. Natural stone is another option for a more organic aesthetic, though sealing is typically required. AquaBlu offers an extensive selection to fit any pool design or project.

Frost resistance prevents cracking during freeze-thaw cycles. Both our porcelain and glass collections are engineered for cold climates, ensuring year-round durability and performance.

Matte finishes improve slip resistance, ideal for wet areas. Glossy finishes enhance depth and create a reflective, polished appearance. The choice depends on balancing safety with design preferences.

Porcelain is extremely durable and low maintenance, but it lacks the natural shimmer of glass. For added texture and character, explore our zellige-look porcelain tiles with a handcrafted aesthetic.

Yes. Porcelain is dense, water-resistant, and highly durable against chemicals and weather. It is suitable for pool interiors, waterlines, and surrounding decks. Always select pool-rated porcelain for optimal results. AquaBlu offers tiles designed specifically for aquatic environments.

No. The low-absorption surface of porcelain eliminates the need for soaking. Ensure tiles are clean and dust-free prior to installation for best results.

With professional installation and proper maintenance, pool tiles can last for decades. Waterline and accent tiles typically last 10-20 years, while premium porcelain and glass may last even longer. Maintaining balanced water chemistry and using high-quality materials is essential. Refer to the TCNA for detailed guidelines.

Porcelain is widely recognized as the most durable option due to its density, low water absorption, and resistance to stains, chemicals, and cracking. For outdoor decks and patios, 2cm porcelain pavers and coping provide superior strength and long-term performance.

Pool tiles generally range from 6mm to 10mm. Glass mosaics are usually 6-8mm thick, while porcelain ranges from 8-10mm. For coping and decking, 20mm porcelain or natural stone is preferred to withstand traffic and freeze-thaw conditions.

Use only pool-safe, non-abrasive brushes to avoid scratching tiles. Always select pool-rated adhesives and grouts, and consider a waterproofing membrane such as Basecrete to prevent moisture-related issues.

Glass and porcelain are ideal for pool interiors. Both are chemical-resistant, non-porous, and highly durable. Glass offers vibrant color and light reflection, while porcelain provides versatile style and long-lasting performance.

For decks and surrounding areas, choose porcelain or glass tiles rated for outdoor use, featuring slip-resistant and freeze-thaw properties. Pair them with 2cm porcelain pavers and coping for a cohesive, durable design.

Porcelain pool tiles are versatile and suitable for pools, spas, kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor living areas. Their durability makes them ideal for both submerged and exposed applications. AquaBlu’s team can help you select the perfect option for your project.

Coping tiles finish the edge of a pool, providing a smooth transition from water to deck. They protect the pool shell and enhance overall design. Available in porcelain, marble, travertine, and other natural stones, coping tiles balance style with practicality.
