Swimming Pool Tiling

Pool tiles are typically slip-resistant and non-porous so that they won’t absorb pool chemicals or bacteria. You should look for pool tiles that have anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties for optimal pool hygiene and safety. Pool tiles can add a stunning visual effect to your pool while providing an anti-slip surface and protecting it from pool chemicals, bacteria, and outdoor debris. Tiler Mangawhai specializes in selecting appropriate pool tiles that meet safety standards while enhancing your pool’s aesthetic appeal.

Glass pool tiles can create a stylish pool finish with vibrant colours and exciting patterns that catch light beautifully. Many pool owners add vibrant colours, patterns, contrast, and metallics to their pools for unique designs. Porcelain tiles are an excellent choice as they are durable and long-lasting, withstanding years of exposure. Mosaic sheets for pool tiling offer intricate design possibilities and are priced between six to seventeen dollars per sheet. Tiler Mangawhai helps you explore various tile options including glass, porcelain, and mosaic to match your vision.

The price of pool tiles ranges from ninety-nine dollars per square metre to four hundred forty dollars per square metre depending on material. Mosaic sheets for pool tiling are priced between six to seventeen dollars per sheet, offering affordable design options. To calculate pool tile costs, measure your pool in square meters and multiply by the price per square meter or sheet. Glass tiles are generally more expensive and require professional installation due to their delicate nature. Tiler Mangawhai provides transparent pricing and helps you select tiles that fit your budget.

Pool tiles are a long-term investment that can last up to ten to twenty years or longer with proper maintenance. The longevity depends on proper installation techniques, regular maintenance, and balanced water chemistry throughout the pool’s life. Tiler Mangawhai ensures proper installation using specialized techniques and high-performance materials to maximize your pool tiles’ lifespan. Regular inspection and maintenance help pool tiles maintain their appearance and functionality for decades.

Tiling a swimming pool requires specialized, high-performance materials and multi-stage techniques to withstand constant submersion and chemical exposure. A cementitious, flexible waterproofing membrane should be applied to the concrete shell before tiling to prevent leaks. The adhesive should be applied using the “buttering” method to ensure full coverage and eliminate air voids. A minimum of ninety percent adhesive coverage to both the substrate and the back of the tile is recommended. Tiler Mangawhai employs professional installation techniques including expansion joints filled with flexible silicone sealant.

Epoxy grout creates a non-porous, waterproof, and chemical-resistant barrier, making it superior to traditional cement-based grout for pools. Pool tiles should be attached with pool-safe adhesive and grout that can withstand constant chemical exposure. Expansion joints in pool tiling must be filled with a flexible silicone sealant to handle structural movement. Regular inspection of grout lines for cracks or mildew is necessary to maintain pool tile integrity. Tiler Mangawhai uses only appropriate grout and sealant products specifically designed for swimming pool applications.

Maintaining and cleaning pool tiles involves weekly brushing with soft-bristle brushes to prevent algae and stains from building up. A mixture of white vinegar and water is effective for removing mild calcium deposits from pool tiles. Wire or metal brushes should be avoided when cleaning pool tiles to prevent scratching the surface. Maintaining water chemistry involves keeping pH between seven point two and seven point six to prevent scaling and grout erosion. Tiler Mangawhai provides maintenance guidance specific to your tile type to ensure long-lasting beauty.

It is possible to tile your pool yourself, but professional installation ensures proper waterproofing, adhesion, and longevity. It is recommended to consult a professional tiler if you plan to install pool tiles, especially for complex designs. Glass tiles require professional installation due to their delicate nature and specialized handling requirements. Pool tiles are installed similarly to other tiles with a few extra considerations including waterproofing and chemical resistance. Tiler Mangawhai provides expert installation that ensures compliance with safety standards and proper techniques.
