Pool Tiles

Inside the pool: glass mosaics

Glass mosaic is the classic choice for lining a pool. It is non-porous, copes with chlorine and salt water, and its colour shapes the colour of the water. This collection includes Ezarri glass mosaics from Spain and the Leyla Mosaic range, with blends named after places such as Bora Bora, Fiji, Mykonos, Monaco, Bali and Balmoral. Square formats such as the Gloss Square Pool Mosaic 47 x 47 mm and Calacatta Mosaic 97 x 97 mm also suit pools. See glass mosaic pool tiles.

Choosing your water colour

The tile colour you pick changes how the water reads:

• Light blues and whites give a bright, tropical aqua.
• Mid and deep blues give a classic ocean blue. See blue tiles.
• Greens and greys give a natural, lagoon-like tone that sits well in a garden.
• Black and charcoal give a deep, reflective finish.

Order samples and look at them wet and in daylight, because colours shift under water and with pool depth.

Waterline and feature tiles

Many pools use a band of feature tile at the waterline, where it is seen most. The Venice Villa terrazzo range in Silver, Blue, Coral, Green and Yellow, and Matcha Spanish Porcelain Subway in gloss, bring colour and pattern to waterlines, spa walls and water features. Check each product page to confirm it suits your use.

The pool surround and coping

Around the pool, safety comes first. Choose P5 where bare feet will be wet, or at least P4, in a grip or external finish. Porcelain options include the Andes Outdoor 20mm Paver, Norrock Series Paver and Tufa Veincut Travertine Look, with Andes Paver Coping 400 x 600 x 20 mm or Precious Travertine Bullnose for the pool edge. See pavers and pool coping, anti-slip tiles and outdoor tiles for the rest of the garden.
