Pool Tiles

Types of Pool Tiles

Garden State Tile offers glass and porcelain pool tiles in mosaic, rectangular, and other shapes and sizes. Over the years, pool tiles have evolved with an enhanced look that can resemble various other materials, including stone, concrete, and even textiles/fabrics. This allows you to have a custom pool with long-lasting tiles complementing your preferred aesthetic.

Is Pool Tile Different From Regular Tile?

Outdoor pool tile is much more durable than kitchen and bathroom tile. It has to withstand strong chemicals, direct UV rays, inclement weather, and various other conditions that indoor tile doesn’t have to encounter. Due to the differences in durability, you can use pool tile indoors, but you cannot use indoor tile in a pool.

Is It Worth It to Tile a Pool?

Yes, it’s worth it. Pool tiles offer a chic, sleek look. They also provide an added layer of style and durability and are easier to clean than other materials, such as concrete, allowing your pool to look beautiful longer.

How Long Does Pool Tile Last?

Pool tiles can last upwards of a decade, but several factors can influence their lifespan, starting with their material and installation. Durable, high-quality tiles typically last longer than poorly made ones that require replacement sooner rather than later.

Sound installation is also key. You can choose exceptional pool tiles, but poor installation can counter what could have been an excellent, attractive, and enduring result.

Proper cleaning and chemical maintenance are also essential. Both are ideal to do weekly, although daily skimming to remove debris is beneficial. The better you take care of the pool, including its tiles, the higher the chances are of a longer time lifespan.

Do Pool Tiles Need Special Installation?

Pool tile installation requires professional installation for aesthetic and safety purposes and the pool’s integrity. Hiring an experienced pool contractor with the knowledge and skill to install the pool tiles properly is crucial.

Getting personal recommendations for pool contractors is an excellent place to start when you want quality, professional installation. Reach out on social media to get several recommendations at once. When you get the company names, do your due diligence through online research. Evaluate their credentials, read about the company, and search through online reviews from current and past pool clients who can vouch for their outstanding service.
