Glass Mosaic Tiles Make A Splash in Swimming Pools

Today's pool owners are designing their pools with glass mosaic tiles. This hot trend in pool design captures the beauty of these stylish tiles, creating pools that serve as national backyard artwork.

Durability

Glass tiles are one of the strongest surfaces for pools and spas because they resist chemical corrosion and other damage caused by temperature changes. Glass blocks also last longer than other types of pool interior surface materials, such as plaster or fiberglass. This is because glass retains its integrity for a lifetime.

Unparalleled Beauty

Your pool is the ultimate backyard accessory. Decorating it with glass block is not only a stylish way to add beauty and sophistication to your pool; its iridescent quality also brings a sense of peace and tranquility. Glass also has reflective properties that make your pool appear larger. Because mosaic tiles can be expensive, they can only be applied to certain areas of your pool - such as steps, benches, perimeters, shallow ends - to provide your pool with an upscale and luxurious look without breaking the bank.

 

A variety of styles

Many homeowners choose mosaic tiles because of the many different colors, shapes and styles available. When it comes to choosing pool tile, the sky is the limit. We offer a beautiful selection of glass mosaic tiles in a variety of styles, colors and sizes with handcrafted artisan quality that surpasses any other tile.

 

Tips to consider

Please keep the following tips in mind.

Set a budget

Every project should start with a realistic budget, and choosing glass tiles for your pool is no exception. There is no doubt that you will have a wide variety of tiles to choose from, but keep in mind that there is also a wide range of prices. Establishing a set budget beforehand can help guide you toward certain tiles and away from others, so you don't go too far.

Safety first

Needless to say, the surfaces around your pool can get very wet, so it's important to choose non-slip mosaic pool tiles to prevent slips and falls. Since the type of tile you choose for the exterior of your pool (such as the pool edge) is different from the type of tile you'll find inside, be sure to treat them for added traction. It's also a good idea to ask about frost-proof tiles for cold weather.

Your favorite colors

Blue, blue, and more blue. It's the standard for most pools, but today's savvy homeowners are changing it up by mixing colors or trying something completely new. One of the hottest new color trends in glass pool tiles, green glass is climbing.

As with any new design, it's important to decide on a theme that blends with your home and personal style. Whichever color you decide on, it's best to choose a color that appeals to you and your sense of style.
