FAQ
How should I clean glass pool tile?
Keeping glass pool tile radiant is easy with the right care. Use a gentle, non‑abrasive cleaner and soft sponge or cloth - avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive tools. Maintain balanced pool chemistry and clean regularly to protect the tile’s sheen. Waterproofing the pool shell before installation is essential to prevent mineral buildup like efflorescence. AquaBlu offers dependable waterproofing systems like Basecrete, along with top-tier epoxy thin sets like Litokol Litoelastic and durable epoxy grouts such as Starlike Evo for optimal installation.
Can glass pool tile be used in spas or hot tubs?
Absolutely. Glass pool tiles are built to handle rapid temperature changes and thermal shock, making them perfect for spas and hot tubs. Choose pool-rated brands from AquaBlu designed for pools, outdoor living, and spa settings. Stay away from non-rated, lower-quality alternatives. Proper adhesives and grouts are key for lasting performance.
Can glass pool tile be mixed with other materials?
Yes! Combining materials creates visually rich designs. A popular mix pairs neutral white pool tile with warm wood-look porcelain for elegant coastal flair. The soft shimmer of glass paired with porcelain’s texture creates balance and interest. AquaBlu’s diverse inventory makes it easy to build your custom look. Examples and samples are available to guide your selection.
How long does glass pool tile last?
When installed properly and cared for, glass pool tile can last for decades. Longevity depends on thorough surface prep and quality materials: Litoelastic ensures a strong, waterproof bond, while Starlike Evo resists water, chemicals, and stains. Together, they help safeguard your pool’s beauty for years. Contact AquaBlu for expert installation guidance.
Is glass pool tile slippery?
Polished glass tile can be slick when wet, but many modern styles feature frosted or textured finishes that improve grip. Grout lines add traction as well. Choose glossy finishes for vertical applications like waterlines, and opt for matte or anti-slip glass tiles for walkable areas like steps and sun shelves.
Can glass pool tile be used in saltwater pools?
Yes. Glass tile’s non‑porous nature makes it highly resistant to saltwater corrosion. Choose pool-rated glass and follow proper installation for best results. Explore AquaBlu’s saltwater tile collections and consider adding marine-inspired mosaics, like dolphins or turtles - for a custom touch.
What sizes and shapes are available for glass pool tile?
From classic squares and subway tiles to modern fish-scale and hexagon shapes, AquaBlu offers a wide array of glass pool tile formats - ideal for waterlines, spas, sun shelves, and more. Popular sizes include 5/8", 1", 2", and larger sheet formats.
How do I properly install glass pool tile?
Glass pool tile needs careful installation. Professional installation is recommended, though experienced DIYers can succeed with quality products. AquaBlu offers complete kits - waterproofing, thin-set, and grout - from trusted brands like Basecrete, Litokol, and The Tile Doctor. Always follow manufacturer guidelines and TCNA standards for optimal results.
What grout works best with glass pool tile?
Epoxy grout is the best bet for wet environments like pools and spas, offering superior resistance to water, chemicals, and stains compared to cementitious grout. AquaBlu stocks premium epoxy grouts from The Tile Doctor and Litokol, available in many colors, shimmer effects, and over 150 custom shades. Grout samples available on request.
Will glass pool tile fade in sunlight?
No, pool-grade glass tile is manufactured to resist UV exposure and maintain vibrant color over time. For reliable colorfastness, choose high-quality brands like those offered by AquaBlu.
How do I choose the right color for my glass pool tile?
Color sets the ambience. Shimmering whites and cool blues evoke coastal serenity, while earth tones suit grotto-inspired themes. For a bold look, go with dark hues and iridescent finishes. Lighting and surrounding materials impact color too - contact AquaBlu for expert guidance or request samples.

Available finishes include glossy, frosted, matte, iridescent, etched, and textured. For wet walkable surfaces like steps or sun shelves, choose anti-slip variants. AquaBlu carries a wide range of finishes, shapes, and colors to meet your project needs.
Does glass pool tile require sealing?
No, glass tile is completely non‑porous and doesn’t absorb water or chemicals, so no sealing is needed. This means lower maintenance and longer-lasting shine.
