FAQ
What makes pool tiles different from indoor tiles?
Pool tiles are purpose-built to handle the unique demands of underwater and outdoor environments. They’re non-porous, highly durable, and engineered to resist chemicals, UV exposure, and temperature shifts. In contrast, indoor tiles aren’t designed for prolonged moisture or outdoor conditions and may crack, fade, or break down over time.
What are the top materials for pool tiles?
Porcelain and glass are two of the most trusted materials for pool projects. Porcelain is dense, water-resistant, and comes in a wide variety of styles. Glass offers vibrant color and reflectivity, making it a popular choice for decorative accents. Natural stone is another option, valued for its organic appearance, though it often requires sealing and additional upkeep.
Why is frost resistance important in pool tile?
Frost-resistant tiles help protect against cracking in areas where freeze-thaw cycles are common. Moisture can enter porous materials and expand when frozen, causing damage. AquaBlu’s porcelain and glass tiles are frost-proof and built to endure seasonal temperature changes.
What tile finish works best for pool decks and waterlines?
For safety in wet areas, matte or textured finishes provide added traction on pool decks and walkways. Glossy finishes work well on waterlines, offering a reflective, polished look. AquaBlu carries both styles to help you create a space that’s as functional as it is beautiful.
Are there any disadvantages to using porcelain tile in pools?
Porcelain is extremely durable and low maintenance, making it an excellent pool tile option. Its main limitation is that it doesn’t reflect light as vividly as glass. Still, with design choices like zellige-inspired and wood-look styles, it remains a popular and versatile choice.
Can porcelain tile be used underwater?
Yes, porcelain tile is ideal for submerged use, as long as it’s rated for full water immersion. Be sure to select pool-grade porcelain like the options available through AquaBlu.
Do I need to soak porcelain tile before installing it?
No soaking is required. Porcelain has an extremely low absorption rate, so it's ready to install once clean and free of dust or debris.
How long do pool tiles typically last?
When installed properly and maintained regularly, pool tiles can last 10 to 20 years or more. To ensure durability, follow TCNA installation standards, use proper waterproofing, and apply high-quality adhesives and grout.
What’s the most durable tile option for pools?
Porcelain is widely considered the most durable tile for pools due to its resistance to water, chemicals, and weather. For especially demanding areas like coping and decks, explore AquaBlu’s 2cm porcelain pavers.
How thick should pool tile be?
Typical pool tiles range from 6mm to 10mm thick. Glass mosaics are generally 6-8mm, while porcelain options are often 8-10mm. For high-traffic areas like decks and coping, 2cm tiles provide extra strength and stability.
What installation mistakes should I avoid?
Common missteps include using adhesives not rated for pools, skipping waterproofing, or inadequate surface preparation. These errors can lead to premature tile failure. Use proven systems like Basecrete and hire experienced installers for best results.
What tile is best for inside the pool?
Both glass and porcelain are excellent for pool interiors. Glass offers vivid shine and depth, while porcelain excels in durability and ease of cleaning. Just ensure your chosen tile is certified for underwater use.
What tile is best for around the pool perimeter?
For surrounding areas, choose textured, outdoor-rated tile. AquaBlu’s 2cm porcelain pavers offer durability and slip resistance, making them ideal for patios and walkways.
Where else can I use porcelain pool tile?
Porcelain’s versatility makes it great for both indoor and outdoor applications. Use it in spas, showers, patios, bathrooms, and as a kitchen backsplash. Its moisture resistance and design range make it a practical choice for any surface.
What is pool coping and why does it matter?
Pool coping is the border between the pool shell and surrounding deck. It protects the structure, helps control water flow, and adds a finished look. It also improves safety by providing a slip-resistant edge. Common materials include porcelain, travertine, and marble to suit a variety of styles.
