Dive Into Brilliance With New Aquamarine Swimming Pool Tiles

A swimming pool has evolved far beyond its basic function as a place to swim or cool off. Today, it stands as a design focal point, an anchor for outdoor living spaces, and an extension of your home’s style. Just like a thoughtfully designed kitchen or a curated living room, your pool deserves the same attention to detail. And when it comes to transforming a backyard into a refined retreat or a dynamic gathering spot, nothing makes a bigger impact than the tile. Swimming pool tiles set the visual tone. They reflect light, create texture, and frame the water in a way that brings your entire outdoor environment to life. From the pool’s waterline to the surrounding deck and feature walls, tile gives your space cohesion, movement, and undeniable luxury. We believe that pool design should be both functional and expressive. That’s why we offer a curated collection of porcelain pavers, glazed tiles, cement tiles, and handcrafted Zellige, all designed to stand up to the elements while elevating your design to new heights.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through how pool tiles can completely redefine your outdoor space. From performance features to style inspiration, and from artistic flourishes to technical durability, we’ll show you exactly why choosing the right tile is the most important decision you’ll make for your pool.

What Makes A Great Pool Tile?

When selecting tile for a pool or surrounding deck, it's essential to balance visual appeal with real-world performance. The right tile must be tough enough to endure sun exposure, chemicals, constant moisture, and foot traffic, while still looking beautiful year after year.

A few key traits define the best pool tiles:

• Slip Resistance: Water and smooth surfaces are a dangerous mix. Slip-resistant finishes on pool decks and coping help create a safer environment for everyone. Especially in high-use areas like steps or shallow ledges, choosing a textured tile is critical.

• Durability and UV Stability: Pool tiles must be able to withstand harsh UV rays, pool chemicals like chlorine or salt, and extreme temperature fluctuations. A high-quality tile will retain its color and integrity season after season without fading, warping, or cracking.

• Low Water Absorption: Tiles that absorb water can lead to staining, mold growth, and long-term damage. High-density materials like porcelain are ideal for minimizing water infiltration and maintaining hygiene.

• Versatile Aesthetic: The best pool tiles are also flexible in design. Whether you want a coastal look, a boho paradise, or a sleek, spa-inspired escape, the tile you choose should bring your vision to life without compromising function.

We’ve created a pool collection that brings together all these elements. Our glazed tiles, porcelain pavers, Zellige, and cement tiles are carefully curated to ensure style, safety, and long-term performance. With a wide range of finishes, colors, and formats, you’ll find materials that aren’t just suited for poolside living, they’re built for it.

Porcelain Pavers: Strength, Style, And Slip Resistance In One Package

Porcelain has long been a favorite in pool and outdoor design for one simple reason: it’s nearly indestructible. It’s non-porous, resistant to UV fading, impervious to water, and requires little maintenance. On top of that, it offers modern finishes that look as good as natural stone, wood, or concrete, but without the upkeep.

Take our Yerba Mate 48 x 48 Porcelain Paver 3/4", for instance. This oversized paver gives off an earthy, stone-like appearance that’s perfect for organic modern homes. Its large format reduces grout lines, which makes the area feel more expansive while also minimizing maintenance. Whether you're hosting a weekend pool party or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, this tile adds polish without pretension.

Then there’s the Earl Grey Mini Modular Pattern Paver 3/4", a refined choice for more transitional or traditional outdoor designs. With a palette that blends soft grey tones in a versatile modular layout, this option adds subtle complexity and architectural depth to pool decks and walking paths.

For those looking to add energy and lightness, our Dandelion Porcelain Paver Modular Pattern 3/4" delivers playful structure without being overpowering. It suits casual settings like lounge areas, firepit patios, and garden walkways where character and charm are essential.

Finally, the Peppermint 32x32 Porcelain Paver 3/4" offers a clean, fresh tone that’s especially impactful in modern landscapes. Its crisp finish brightens pool coping and blends effortlessly with neutral decor, contemporary furniture, or vibrant plant life. Together, these porcelain options prove that performance and elegance can, and should, coexist.

Add Sparkle And Shimmer With Glaze Tiles

When it comes to capturing the magic of water and sunlight, few materials do it better than glazed tiles. Their smooth, luminous surface reflects and refracts light in a way that mimics the movement of water itself. It’s a visual effect that brings vitality and energy to your pool space, whether the sun is high or the lanterns are glowing after dusk.

Our New Aquamarine 2" x 8" Glaze Tile is a stunning example. With a rich, aquatic hue that shifts between turquoise, teal, and blue-green depending on the light, it instantly evokes the feeling of the ocean. Use this tile at the waterline to create a crystalline band around your pool, or install it in a feature wall for a high-glamour moment.

Designers also love glazed tiles for fountains and spas. When used behind a spillway for a waterfall, the tile catches glints of water and reflects them in dazzling patterns. It turns a simple feature into a glowing centerpiece. Glazed tiles are equally striking in outdoor showers, accent benches, or built-in planters around the pool. These smaller applications help tie the tile story together, creating continuity across different parts of your landscape. We’ve sourced glaze tiles that deliver not just shine, but durability, because you deserve both beauty and longevity.

Zellige And Cement: Texture And Craftsmanship For Soulful Spaces

If you’re drawn to handcrafted details and old-world charm, Zellige and cement tiles are for you. These artisan tiles bring texture, depth, and personality to outdoor spaces, making them ideal for statement features that invite admiration and conversation.

Zellige tiles are handmade from natural clay, glazed in vibrant tones, and individually fired to create a slightly varied finish. The result is a tile with organic edges, surface ripples, and subtle imperfections that give it unmatched character. Zellige is perfect for pool fountains, raised spa walls, and garden seating areas, where its light-catching surface enhances the natural shimmer of water.

Meanwhile, cement tiles bring a completely different texture, matte, smooth, and richly pigmented. They’re particularly well-suited for walkways, borders, or accent walls that feature bold patterns or earthy tones. These tiles work beautifully in Mediterranean, Moroccan, or eclectic designs where visual interest and warmth are key.

What makes both Zellige and cement tiles so compelling is the story they tell. They're not just materials, they’re heritage. And when used in poolside design, they help you create a space that feels intentional, rooted, and deeply personal. We partner directly with artisans to bring you the highest quality handcrafted tiles that honor these traditions while meeting the needs of modern outdoor living.
