Why should you choose tiles for your swimming pool?
In the past, pool tiles have been regarded as a premium feature for swimming pools. However, since they have become more accessible and affordable, the main reasons people purchase them is because of aesthetics and functionality.
In an aesthetic sense, they are much more beautiful than simple concrete and can vastly improve the overall looks of your backyard. On the other hand, they are extremely easy to clean, much more so than cement-based surfaces and they require less maintenance.
What type of tile is best for swimming pools?
The ‘best’ tile for a specific swimming pool is dependent on what features you require the most and tastes. Let us look at some of the most popular choices:
Swimming pool mosaic tiles
This is one of the most, if not the most popular choice. Mosaic pool tiles perfectly combine aesthetics with practical needs.
Firstly, they are extremely beautiful and will definitely improve the look and feel of your pool. They will make it look more interesting and inviting while allowing a fair view of the bottom of the pool which makes it easier to clean up any debris.
Secondly, if we talk about ceramic mosaic tiles, they provide very good adherence to surfaces, assuring durability. This type of tile is usually rather small which can act as a non-slip effect. How so? This is because of the spaces and gaps between the tiles.
Additionally, because of this small size, you can opt for intricate patterns and the designs can get more complicated the smaller the tiles are.
Blue glass pool tile
Combining the beloved classic blue with a more premium option like glass will ensure a unique look. Generally, when it comes to selecting any product for areas with water, we are instinctively drawn to the color blue. It is familiar to us by association with the sky, the sea, and peace of mind. This is why blue glass tiles are an excellent choice for creating a cozy, relaxing, peaceful environment while adding some brilliance and color to your backyard that may otherwise look too dull.
On contrary to popular belief, this type of glass is as durable as traditional porcelain tiles. However, blue glass piles provide even more luminosity by reflecting light, providing radiance and sparkle to the water, making it even more appealing. This shine combines with a touch of luxury can create an oasis in your backyard, a perfect place to relax after a long day.
Porcelain pool tiles
Known for their durability and beauty, porcelain pool tiles are another popular choice for builders, designers, and homeowners. The versatility of porcelain pool tiles makes them ideal for both traditional and contemporary styles. They come in square and rectangular shapes and all kinds of colors, both blends and solid.
You also have the option to order different kinds of mosaics. Some of the most popular designs include water species like dolphins, earthly colors for a desert look, and Japanese patterns like cherry blossoms. Do not forget about the finishes, where smooth, matte, and glossy are the most sought-after and are usually frost-proof and impervious to water.
What is the best color for a swimming pool?
The most popular one is definitely blue, so let us take a look at some of its shades and other colors:
Aquamarine – a fitting name for a pool tile color, wouldn’t you say? This is a turquoise color combined with a white shimmer and tiny black specks which can bring the Caribbean or Bora Bora right into your backyard.
Sapphire blue – this is a more traditional choice comprised of a royal blue Gelcoat with a diamond shimmer that adds a bit of sparkle. This nuance reminds people of the large vastness of the Pacific ocean.
Crystal blue – a light blue Gelcoat finish with a white shimmer to enhance the clarity of the water. A lighter shade than both aquamarine and sapphire, it gives off the same pristine, relaxing feeling of calm seas.
Silver – here we include nuances like Sandstone, Portland, and Silver Grey. Choosing any of those will give your pool the look of a natural body of water such as a pond, lake, or river. They are the so-called ‘earthly’ tones, from the likeness to nature they present.
Is there a difference between pool tiles and regular tiles?
Short answer: yes, there are quite some differences between the two and we would never recommend to try installing regular tiles in or around your pool. This is because the pool is a rather special environment and so, it requires that the tiles have special features. Let’s take a look at some of them:
- Pool tiles need to withstand water pressure and be submerged in water on a daily basis. A different environment entirely from regular tiles.
- They need to be especially durable since there will be temperature changes from day to night and therefore expansions and contractions in the material.
- Stable chemical properties need to ensure that no harm is done to the body.
- Pool tiles need to be water-resistant so the adhesive lasts and the tiles won’t just fall off after a short time.
- The glaze of the tiles needs to be acid-resistant and alkali-resistant, it also needs to keep its color when subjected to prolonged exposure to the sun
Do you need special tiles for a pool?
Yes, for the reasons mentioned above, special tiles are required for a pool, otherwise, any of the following will happen:
- The glaze will not last long, will fall off, be corroded and eventually, the tile itself will fall off
- The tile will be very difficult to clean and will get dirty easily. If any sort of debris or dirt penetrates into the glaze it will be very hard to get rid of and it will eventually lead to the degradation of the tile
- Visible degradation will be observed after around half a year
So, if you want to buy a tile for your swimming pool, make sure the tile can be used in such an environment. Consult with your supplier for more information.
Can you use porcelain tiles in a pool?
Yes, porcelain tiles can definitely be used in a pool. However, a special glaze is usually applied for such uses, so in addition to the high-quality manufacturing required to make the tile durable enough, you must also check if such glaze is applied.
Porcelain tiles meant for bathrooms may or may not be resistant enough to the pool environment, so we do not recommend using them there unless you’ve consulted a professional. The label swimming pool porcelain tile’ usually denotes the use of both glazing and high enough quality to withstand the pool environment.
How to buy cheap swimming pool tiles online
As with most online shopping, everything starts with Google. You can just search for “cheap swimming pool tiles” + [your location] as in “cheap swimming pool tiles uk” and you have a good starting point. A good indicator of an affordable price is usually wholesaling where the supplier sells one or more products en masse at low prices. So, the best option would be to contact the manufacturer directly. This way you cut out the middle man and remove additional costs.
A good aspect to keep in mind is that Chinese manufacturers usually sell products at wholesale prices, so you should definitely keep an eye out for them. Manufacturers, however, will generally ask you to make an inquire about what you want so they can give you an accurate price. You can check out George’s swimming pool tiles for a start.
How much do pool tiles cost?
As much as we would like to give you a simple number here, we cannot do that. That is simply because the costs vary from project to project and country to country. Here are some factors which will affect the overall costs:
- Size of the pool
- Materials used
- Finish
- Shape of the pool (tiles may need to be adjusted)
- Size of the tiles
An average cost would be a few thousand dollars, but do be sure you receive the most accurate estimation, contact our agents so we can come up with a solution that fits you.
How long do pool tiles last?
Generally, they should last from 5 to 10 years depending on your water chemistry and maintenance conducted. Glass tiles are more durable, so you can expect an even longer lifespan.
How do you install ceramic tile in a swimming pool?
Here are a few steps you should consider when installing ceramic tiles in a swimming pool. Keep in mind that we usually recommend our customers to hire a professional to install such tiles. This is because the process is rather complex and time-consuming.
1. Appropriate selection
Choose a tile that is impervious to water, meaning that it will not absorb water if the glaze cracks. These are usually the best option as they will only absorb 0.5% of all moisture they come in contact with.
2. Cleaning and patching
Take the time to ensure your pool is completely clean. Wash down the walls and floor using a pressure washer for best results. This is to remove any dirt or remnant chemicals that may be there. Patch any holes or cracks you can see and paint a waterproofing membrane for an additional layer of protection.
3. Mortar & grout
Use mortar designed for prolonged use in wet areas. The mortar should also be impervious to the chemicals and moisture it is going to be subjected to, over long periods of time. We recommend checking with the manufacturer or supplier to make sure it is the right type.
Also, select a grout to apply to the ceramic tiles that do not contain any epoxy or Portland. These two can weaken in the presence of pool chemicals.
4. Setting the tiles
Install the tiles as you would in any other room of your home. Spread the mortar onto the pool floor and walls until it is of uniform depth. Use tile spacers if you need them, to help you maintain consistent grout joints. You should let the mortar cure for at least one day before grouting the tiles.
Pool tiles ideas
In terms of materials, you can choose from:
- Ceramic
- Porcelain
- Glass
- Stone
- Brick
As for colors, as we have seen, all sorts of nuances of blue are the most sought-after, and for good reason. It is a color that makes us all instinctively think about the ocean or sea, so it natural we have a tendency towards it. Saphire blue and aquamarine are amongst the most popular.
Top tips for choosing the right pool tiles
If we were to make any additional recommendation when browsing for the right pool tiles, we would say the following:
- Prioritize durability
- Go for low-maintenance pool tiles
- Do not overlook safety, anti-slip tiles are a must especially if you have children
- Glass tiles are the most durable and the color blue would fit them best
- Ask others about your supplier, make sure you order from a brand that delivers
- Hire an expert installer
