Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about turquoise swimming pool tiles
Why choose turquoise over traditional blue pool tiles?
Turquoise offers a unique harmonious blend of green and blue tones that creates a more tropical, Caribbean-inspired aesthetic compared to standard blue. The color works exceptionally well with crystal-clear water, creating a more exotic and inviting appearance. Turquoise tiles also tend to make pool water appear more vibrant and luminous, especially in natural sunlight.
What makes glass tiles better than ceramic or porcelain for pools?
Glass tiles have a 0% water absorption rate, making them completely impervious to water penetration - a crucial advantage over ceramic or porcelain options. This non-porous nature means glass tiles never need sealing, resist mold and mildew naturally, and maintain their color brilliantly without fading. Additionally, glass tiles reflect light beautifully, creating that distinctive sparkle and shimmer that enhances the overall pool aesthetics.
Which finish is best - iridescent, matte, sand texture, or gold thread?
The choice depends on your design vision: Iridescent finishes create maximum sparkle and color-shifting effects, ideal for luxury resort-style pools. Matte finishes suit contemporary minimalist designs with reduced glare. Sand texture adds organic depth for natural lagoon aesthetics. Gold thread incorporates metallic luxury for upscale spa environments. We recommend ordering samples to see how each finish interacts with your pool's lighting conditions.
Can turquoise glass tiles be used in saltwater pools?
Absolutely! Glass tiles are an excellent choice for saltwater pools. Unlike some materials that can degrade in high-salt environments, glass is completely resistant to salt corrosion and chemical damage. The non-porous glass surface prevents salt deposits from penetrating the tile, making cleanup easier. Glass tiles maintain their vibrant turquoise color indefinitely, even with continuous saltwater exposure.
Are glass pool tiles safe? Will they become slippery?
Glass pool tiles are perfectly safe for waterline and wall applications. While the smooth glass surface would be slippery underfoot (which is why we don't recommend them for pool floors or steps), they're ideal for vertical surfaces and waterlines where slip resistance isn't a concern. For areas requiring traction, pair turquoise glass waterline tiles with textured porcelain or stone on steps and floors.
How do I calculate how many tiles I need for my pool?
First, measure the area you're tiling (length × width = square footage). For waterline applications, measure the pool perimeter and multiply by your desired tile height. Add 10-15% extra for cuts, waste, and future repairs. Our mosaic sheets typically cover approximately 1 square foot per sheet. For complex patterns or mixed sizes, we recommend consulting with your contractor for precise calculations.
Do glass tiles work in cold climates? Are they frost proof?
Yes! Our turquoise glass pool tiles are fully frost-proof and designed to withstand freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or damage. The zero water absorption rate means there's no moisture inside the tile to expand when frozen. This makes them suitable for all climate zones, including areas with harsh winters. Glass tiles actually outperform many ceramic and porcelain options in freeze-thaw resistance.
How long do glass pool tiles last?
When properly installed, glass pool tiles can last the lifetime of your pool - often 25+ years or more. Unlike painted finishes that require resurfacing every 5-10 years, glass tiles maintain their color and appearance indefinitely. The color is integral to the glass material itself, not a surface coating, so it cannot fade, chip, or wear away. This longevity makes glass tiles a cost-effective investment despite higher initial costs.
Should I order samples before purchasing?
We strongly recommend ordering samples before committing to a full order. Samples allow you to see the actual color, finish, and how the tiles look in your specific lighting conditions. Turquoise can appear differently depending on sunlight exposure, surrounding colors, and water clarity. Samples also help you make decisions about grout color and tile size. Many customers test samples directly at their pool site for the most accurate visualization.
