Porcelain Pool Tiles by Color, Finish, and Size

While iridescent tile in glass finish has traditionally been the go-to for indoor and outdoor swimming pools, porcelain has been gaining ground in recent years. Our collection is loaded with tons of character, perfect for creating an atmospheric environment that resonates with your taste and lifestyle.

Find porcelain waterline pool tile in neutral and bold, bright color palettes. Shades of white, beige, brown, and gray are fabulous for classic, minimalist, and contemporary designs, while lively hues such as pink, red, green, orange, and blue add an eclectic punch hard to ignore. These colors work just as well for pool interiors, feature walls, and surrounds, allowing for a cohesive and visually striking aesthetic throughout.

Find mosaics on 12x12-inch mesh sheets for easier cutting, handling, and use in tight corners or over curved surfaces. Geometric shapes galore, including penny, basketweave, herringbone, and hexagon. Small format tiles come in varying sizes: 2x16, 3x16, 4x13, 5x5, 7x7, 6x6, 8x8, 9x9, and 9x11 inches. Large formats measuring 12x12, 13x13, and 24x24 inches are great for creating a seamless porcelain pool tile deck that transitions to the garden and beyond.

Porcelain Pool Tile Inspired by Natural Materials

Love the look of stone, marble, and wood, but desire a highly resistant, low-maintenance alternative. Find it in our stunning collection. Inspired by nature and built to last, wood look, stone look, and marble look tile delivers on both design and durability. These porcelain pool tiles emulate the natural variations, colors, and textures of the real thing, while delivering remarkable technical qualities that make it easy to thrive outdoors. An excellent example is our Brown 6x6 Matte Square Porcelain Tile, which captures the organic allure of genuine hardwood.

But that’s not all! We also offer porcelain pool tile that mimics the appearance of terracotta, terrazzo, and Zellige. From the texture to the charm of the real material, it’s easier to bring your dreamy ideas to life without worrying about eye-watering prices. Designs like Sky Blue 6x6 Glossy Zellige Square Porcelain Tile enhance the play of light beneath the water, creating a jewel-like effect in and around the pool.

Porcelain Pool Tile Maintenance Tips

To keep your swimming pool pristine to enjoy in the sunshine, use gentle, non-abrasive methods for regular upkeep. Avoid acidic cleaners and harsh scrubbing, as this can damage grout or scratch tile edges. For occasional deep cleaning to remove ingrained dirt and grime, use a specialized pool cleaner and a soft-bristle brush, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is a porcelain pool tile deck slip-resistant?

Porcelain tile around pool, including the deck, has anti-slip properties that provide excellent traction and safe footing when wet. Always check that your preferred tile is rated for outdoor and wet-area use before making an order.

2. What is the best porcelain tile around pool?

Our selection has varied styles to complement different preferences. So the best tile really depends on the look you’re going for. Choose from tile that looks like wood, stone, terracotta, terrazzo, or Zellige – all of which are durable, have a low water absorption rate, are resistant to fading, and are easy to maintain.

3. Does pool tile change the color of water?

Pool tile can indeed alter the perceived color of the water. Lighter tones tend to give the water a bright, sometimes turquoise look, while darker hues produce a deeper blue, teal, or green effect.

4. What finish is best for porcelain pool tiles?

The glossy and polished options in our collection enhance the tile’s color vibrancy, resulting in a chic, elegant look. Matte and textured pool tiles are great for extra traction underfoot, while offering a more subdued aesthetic.

5. Should porcelain waterline pool tile be light or dark?

The choice between light and dark tiles depends on personal preference. Practically, lighter hues conceal mineral deposits and calcium buildup better, while darker pool waterline tile lends a bold, punchy designer finish.

6. How much does porcelain pool tile cost per sq ft?

Porcelain pool tile typically ranges between $5 and $30 per sq ft for material only. Prices, however, will vary widely based on quality, style, and size.

7. What factors influence porcelain pool tile cost for installation?

Costs for professional installation hinge on numerous factors, including tile quality, pool size, design complexity, and site preparation requirements.

8. Do you need special grout to install porcelain pool tiles?

Installing porcelain pool and waterline tiles requires high-performance grout designed for submerged applications to ensure structural integrity and longevity. Epoxy grout is often recommended as it offers superior resistance compared to cement-based grout.

9. Should you seal porcelain pool tiles?

Porcelain is highly resistant to water absorption and does not need sealing. Grout does benefit from sealing, but this, too, will depend on the manufacturer's recommendations.

10. How long does porcelain pool tile last?

When meticulously installed and properly cared for to preserve aesthetic appeal, porcelain pool tiles can last 20 to 50 years or more thanks to their exceptional durability.
