Pool Tiles

The surface character of a natural stone pool tile is geological in origin; formed over millions of years and present in every piece, giving pool surrounds a depth and variation that manufactured alternatives cannot replicate

What are Pool Tiles?

Pool tiles are rated for use in and around swimming pool environments covering pool interior surfaces, waterline bands, feature walls and pool surrounding areas. The gloss finish characteristic of pool tiles creates a reflective surface that interacts with pool water and natural light to give the pool its finished appearance.

Pool Tile Specifications (Standard)

What tonal range is available in pool tiles?

Pool tiles are available across a range of tonal families to suit different pool designs, settings and project intentions.

The tonal family of a pool tile affects how the water reads visually once the pool is filled. Each tonal family produces a different surface character and visual effect depending on the depth of the pool, the surrounding materials and the natural light conditions of the setting.

Reviewing a physical sample in your actual setting and considering how it will read once the pool is filled is the most reliable way to assess which pool tile suits your project.

What is the Difference Between Pool Tiles and Regular Tiles?

Engaging a qualified pool tiler to specify the correct tile, adhesive and grout for each pool application is recommended.

Where are Pool Tiles Used?

Pool tiles suit a range of applications across the swimming pool environment.

Interior - Fully tiling the pool interior gives the pool shell a smooth, reflective finish. The gloss surface of pool tiles interacts with pool water to give depth and tonal richness to the water's appearance.

Waterline band - A tiled waterline band is the most common pool tile application in Australian residential projects. Pool tiles installed at water level protect the pool shell at the point of highest exposure and provide a defined visual line between the water surface and the pool surround.

Feature walls and water features - Pool tiles are widely used for pool feature walls, water blade backings and decorative water feature surfaces. The gloss finish of pool tiles works well in these applications, giving the surface a reflective, light-catching quality.

How to Care for Pool Tiles?

Routine Cleaning

Regular brushing with a pool brush and balanced water chemistry are sufficient to keep pool tiles in good condition. The smooth gloss surface of pool tiles does not require sealing. Mineral and calcium deposits that accumulate at the waterline can be removed with a pool-specific tile cleaner. Always apply any cleaning product to a small area before using it across the full surface.

What to Avoid

• Acid-based cleaners applied at high concentration as these can affect the grout joint over time
• Abrasive cleaning tools as these can mark the gloss surface of pool tiles
• Unbalanced pool water chemistry sustained over an extended period as this can affect both tile and grout condition
