Treasure Series Glass Tile

Maintaining the shine of glass pool tile is straightforward with proper care. Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge to gently clean the surface - avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools that could scratch the tile. Keeping pool chemistry balanced and performing regular cleaning will preserve the tile’s brilliance. To prevent mineral buildup such as efflorescence, waterproofing the pool shell before installation is essential. AquaBlu provides reliable waterproofing products like Basecrete. For secure installation, we recommend premium epoxy thin sets such as Litokol Litoelastic and durable epoxy grouts like Starlike Evo.

Definitely. Combining different materials, textures, and finishes adds depth and visual interest.
