When natural sunlight hits clear water, it reflects shorter wavelength colours like blues and greens, creating the vibrant water colour we find so appealing. This effect can be beautifully enhanced by the choice of your pool tiles used on the pool floor and walls. Explore some of our beautiful tile options below, perfect for use in swimming pools.
Glazed vitrified (GVT) or porcelain tiles are ideal for swimming pools due to their low water absorption and a glazed surface that resists algae and bacteria growth. These tiles are also easy to clean and highly resistant to weather and chemical damage.
In addition to tile selection, choosing a strong tile adhesive is essential when installing tiles in a swimming pool. Tile adhesive is more durable and retains less water than ordinary cement, preventing tiles from loosening over time under high water pressure.
