Maintaining the brilliance of glass pool tile is simple with proper care. Use a gentle, non-abrasive cleaner and a soft sponge or cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive tools. Keep your pool’s water balanced and clean the tiles regularly to preserve their shine. Proper waterproofing before installation helps prevent mineral buildup like efflorescence. AquaBlu offers reliable waterproofing solutions such as Basecrete, along with high-performance adhesives like Litokol Litoelastic and durable epoxy grouts such as Starlike Evo for optimal results.
