How to choose pool tiles

What to check before you buy. We’re happy to talk it through in the showroom.

The mosaic sets the water colour

The colour of the pool lining decides the colour of the water. White and pale blue look bright and tropical. Darker blues and greens look deep and calm.

Choose a non-slip surround

The pool surround is wet most of summer, so choose a P5 tile or paver. Pale colours stay cooler on bare feet.

Match the pool edge

Several stone-look ranges have a matching 40 mm edge piece, called coping. The surround then wraps over the pool edge in the same tile.

Glass mosaics last

Glass mosaics don't soak up water and they keep their colour. Some are made from 100% recycled glass.

Pool tiles: FAQs

FAQs

What's the difference between glass and porcelain pool mosaics?

Glass has more depth and sparkle in the water. Porcelain and stone-look mosaics give a softer, natural finish. Both are made for pools.

What is coping?

Coping is the edge piece around the top of the pool. Drop-face coping has a thick 40 mm front edge, so the surround looks like solid stone.

Do you have tiles for the waterline?

Yes. Mosaics and small glazed squares work well along the waterline. We can match them to your coping and interior.
