PILOS SERIES PORCELAIN TILE

Pool tiles are specially designed to endure constant exposure to water, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations. They are dense, durable, and non-porous. Standard tiles, on the other hand, are often intended for indoor use and may not provide the strength or resistance needed for submerged or outdoor applications.

The most popular options are porcelain and glass. Porcelain is durable, low in porosity, and available in a wide range of designs, making it ideal for wet environments. Glass offers brilliant color and reflectivity, though it typically comes at a higher cost. Natural stone creates a rich, organic look but often requires sealing. AquaBlu carries the largest online selection of pool tiles, with expert guidance to help you choose the perfect fit for your project.

Frost-resistant porcelain prevents cracks and surface damage during freezing conditions, making it a dependable choice for outdoor pools in colder climates. Both our porcelain and glass tiles are engineered to handle seasonal changes while retaining their beauty and durability.

It depends on the setting. Matte finishes enhance traction, making them excellent for wet or high-traffic areas. Glossy finishes create depth and a polished appearance. AquaBlu offers a variety of finishes so you can achieve both safety and style.

Porcelain is incredibly strong, low-maintenance, and long-lasting. The only limitation is that it does not have the shimmer or iridescence of glass. Still, it remains one of the best-performing materials for pools. For added character, consider options like our zellige-look porcelain tiles.

Yes. Porcelain offers durability, low porosity, and resistance to chemicals and temperature changes, making it ideal for pool interiors and surrounding spaces. AquaBlu provides only pool-rated porcelain tiles trusted by industry professionals.

No. Because porcelain absorbs very little water, soaking is not necessary. Simply clean the tiles before installation to ensure proper adhesion.

With correct installation and maintenance, pool tiles can last 10-20 years or more. Premium porcelain and glass often outlast this range. Maintaining balanced water chemistry and following guidelines from the Tile Council of North America helps maximize longevity.

Porcelain is the most durable option, offering excellent resistance to cracks, stains, and chemicals. For pool decks, 2cm porcelain pavers and coping deliver outstanding strength and weather protection.

Pool tiles typically range between 6mm and 10mm. Glass mosaics are usually 6-8mm thick, while porcelain tiles are generally 8-10mm. For coping and decking, 20mm tiles or slabs are recommended for superior durability and freeze-thaw resistance.

Glass and porcelain tiles are the leading choices for pool interiors. Glass delivers a luminous, reflective effect, while porcelain provides versatility, durability, and long-term reliability.

Porcelain pool tiles are highly versatile and can be installed in pools, spas, kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces. Their strength and weather resistance make them suitable for both submerged and exposed surfaces.
