FAQ
What’s the difference between pool tiles and regular tiles?
Pool tiles are specifically engineered to endure constant exposure to water, chemicals, and fluctuating temperatures. They’re non-porous and highly durable, making them ideal for submerged or wet environments. In contrast, regular tiles are typically designed for indoor use and may lack the water and chemical resistance required for pools, leading to premature wear or failure in such conditions.
What is the best material for pool tiles?
The most popular and reliable materials for pool tiles are porcelain and glass. Porcelain is dense, non-porous, and extremely durable, making it resistant to water and chemicals. It’s also available in a wide variety of colors and styles to suit any design. Glass tiles, though more costly, offer brilliant color and reflectivity, adding a luxurious touch to any pool. Natural stone can be a beautiful alternative with slip resistance but usually requires sealing.

Why is frost resistance important for porcelain pool tiles?
Frost-resistant tiles are essential for outdoor use in colder climates. They can withstand freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or degrading. AquaBlu’s porcelain and glass pool tiles are crafted to handle these conditions, offering long-lasting performance and reducing costly maintenance or replacements.
What finish is best for porcelain pool tiles?
Pool tile finishes affect both appearance and safety. Matte finishes provide a slip-resistant surface, making them ideal for wet, high-traffic areas. Glossy finishes amplify color and create a sleek, luxurious look. With a range of finishes available, you can choose one that fits your pool’s style and safety needs.
Are there any disadvantages to porcelain pool tiles?
Porcelain pool tiles offer exceptional durability and value. While they may lack the shimmering, iridescent appeal of glass tiles, they remain a timeless, reliable option for pool projects. At AquaBlu, you’ll find the latest trending porcelain styles, including zellige-look tiles, combining performance with visual impact.
Is porcelain tile good for swimming pools?
Absolutely. Porcelain is one of the most recommended materials for pool applications due to its strength, low water absorption, and resistance to chemicals and temperature changes. It’s perfect for both pool interiors and surrounding areas. However, not all porcelain tile is created equal - mass-market options often aren’t rated for submerged use. For long-term success, choose pool-specific porcelain tiles from trusted brands like those carried at AquaBlu.
Do porcelain pool tiles need to be soaked before installation?
No. Porcelain tiles have a very low water absorption rate, so pre-soaking is unnecessary. For best results, make sure the tiles are clean and free from dust before installation to ensure a strong bond.
How long do pool tiles last?
Pool tile longevity depends on quality, installation, and maintenance. Waterline and accent tiles can last 10–20 years on average. With expert installation, premium materials, and proper upkeep, porcelain and glass tiles can last much longer - sometimes indefinitely. To extend lifespan, hire experienced installers, follow TCNA installation guidelines, and use only pool-rated materials from reputable brands.
What is the most durable pool tile?
Porcelain tile is considered the most durable option for pools. Its ultra-low water absorption rate makes it highly resistant to staining, cracking, and chemical damage. For decking, 2cm porcelain pavers are ideal - they offer unmatched durability and weather resistance. Check out AquaBlu’s extensive selection of porcelain pool tile and 2cm porcelain pavers and coping for long-lasting beauty.
What thickness should swimming pool tile be?
Most pool tiles range from 6mm to 10mm thick. Glass mosaics generally fall between 6mm and 8mm, while porcelain tiles used for waterlines or feature walls are often 8mm to 10mm. For pool coping or deck tiles, 2cm (20mm) porcelain pavers or thick stone slabs are preferred due to their extra strength and resistance to freeze-thaw conditions.
What are the most common mistakes to avoid with porcelain pool tiles?
The biggest mistake is using abrasive tools for cleaning - these can scratch and dull the tile surface. Always use soft-bristled brushes designed for pool care. Another major issue is improper installation. Make sure your installer uses pool-rated adhesives, waterproofing membranes like Basecrete, and follows best practices to ensure lasting results.
What type of tile is best for a swimming pool?
Porcelain and glass tiles are top choices for pools. Porcelain is tough, non-porous, and resistant to chemicals, making it great for interiors and surrounding decks. Glass adds rich color and shimmer while being just as water-resistant and durable when properly installed.
What is the best tile to put around a pool?
Use porcelain or glass tiles specifically tested for pool environments. These tiles are designed to endure temperature shifts, water exposure, and pool chemicals. For decks and walkways, opt for slip-resistant finishes. 2cm porcelain pavers with coordinating coping pieces offer exceptional durability and a seamless, polished look.
Where can porcelain pool tiles be installed?
Porcelain pool tiles are incredibly versatile. They’re perfect for use in pools, spas, bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor spaces. Their strength and water resistance make them ideal for wet environments, while their style options allow for cohesive designs across multiple applications.
What are coping tiles around a pool?
Coping tiles are the finishing edge pieces that line the perimeter of a pool. They bridge the gap between the pool shell and the surrounding surface, enhancing safety and preventing water intrusion. Coping options include materials like travertine, marble, and porcelain, and they’re available in both standard and remodel profiles to match your pool’s design.
