Choosing the Right Pool Tile: Porcelain vs. Glass
During your design consultation, we’ll explore several tile options for your pool or spa, with a focus on glass and ceramic/porcelain. First, let’s review why waterline tile is essential:
“Waterline pool tile follows the pool’s perimeter in a 6-inch band to prevent pollen, sunscreen, body oils, and other substances from leaving a scummy line at the waterline.”

Tiles also provide a durable edge that’s easy to repair or replace if damaged.
Porcelain Tile: Versatile & Cost-Effective
Popularity: The most common choice, available in numerous colors, sizes, and finishes.
Customization: Mix and match traditional patterns or create custom designs.
Value: Offers quality and style at a budget-friendly price point.
Glass Tile: Premium & Fade-Resistant
Durability: Won’t fade or discolor over time, even under intense sunlight.
Aesthetic: Delivers a high-end, luminous finish that reflects light beautifully.
Investment: Higher upfront cost, ideal for luxury or statement-making pools.
