FAQ
How do pool tiles differ from standard tiles?
Pool tiles are engineered to handle constant water exposure, pool chemicals, and fluctuating temperatures. They’re non-porous and highly durable, unlike standard tiles, which are often designed for indoor use and may not withstand submerged or outdoor environments.
Which materials are best for pool tiles?
Porcelain and glass are the leading choices for pool tiles thanks to their durability and water resistance. Porcelain is dense, low-porosity, and available in countless styles. Glass tiles provide vibrant color and a reflective finish, though they are typically higher in cost. Natural stone offers earthy texture but usually requires sealing. AquaBlu carries the widest online selection of pool tiles - our team can guide you to the perfect fit.
Why is frost resistance important in porcelain tiles?
Frost-resistant porcelain tiles won’t crack or deteriorate in freezing conditions, making them an excellent choice for outdoor pools in colder regions. Both our porcelain and glass tiles are built to withstand harsh climates for long-lasting performance.
Which finish works best for porcelain pool tiles?
The right finish depends on your project’s needs. Matte finishes provide slip resistance, ideal for wet, high-traffic areas. Glossy finishes enhance color and offer a sleek appearance. AquaBlu’s range of finishes ensures you’ll find the right blend of safety and style.
Are there any drawbacks to porcelain pool tiles?
Porcelain is strong, reliable, and low-maintenance. Its only limitation is that it doesn’t offer the same shimmering effect as glass. Still, it remains one of the most trusted options for pool applications. Explore trending looks like our zellige-look porcelain tiles for added dimension and character.
Is porcelain tile a good option for pools?
Yes, porcelain is one of the best options for pool interiors and surroundings. Its low porosity and resistance to water, chemicals, and temperature shifts make it a dependable choice. AquaBlu only offers pool-rated porcelain tiles trusted by professionals.
Do porcelain tiles need soaking before installation?
No soaking is required. Porcelain absorbs very little water. Simply ensure tiles are clean before installation for strong adhesion and lasting results.
What is the lifespan of pool tiles?
With proper installation and care, pool tiles can last 10–20 years or more. High-quality porcelain or glass tiles often exceed this, provided pool chemistry remains balanced. For expert standards, refer to the Tile Council of North America.
Which pool tile material is most durable?
Porcelain is the most durable pool tile, resisting stains, cracking, and chemical damage. For pool decks, 2cm porcelain pavers and coping provide unmatched strength and slip resistance.
What thickness is recommended for pool tiles?
Pool tile thickness generally ranges from 6mm-10mm. Glass mosaics are usually 6-8mm, while porcelain tiles average 8-10mm. For coping or decking, 20mm slabs are preferred for durability and freeze-thaw protection.
What mistakes should be avoided with porcelain tiles?
Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools, which can damage the finish. Always use non-abrasive products designed for pools. Ensure installation is done with pool-rated adhesives, grout, and a waterproofing membrane such as Basecrete for long-term protection.
What tile types are best for swimming pools?
Glass and porcelain tiles are best for pool interiors. Glass offers brilliant color and reflection, while porcelain delivers strength, design flexibility, and long-term performance.
What tiles work best around pools?
For pool surrounds, choose porcelain or glass tiles rated for outdoor and wet conditions. Look for frost resistance, slip resistance, and chemical durability. For a seamless design, pair 2cm porcelain pavers with coordinating coping.
Where can porcelain pool tiles be installed?
Porcelain pool tiles are highly versatile and suitable for pools, spas, kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor applications. Their durability makes them ideal for submerged and exposed areas alike.
What are coping tiles?
Pool coping tiles create the transition edge between the pool and deck. They improve safety, protect the pool’s structure, and provide a polished finish. Available in porcelain, marble, and travertine, coping tiles are offered in a variety of styles to match your design goals.
