You may have learned a lot about your pool: pool accessories, mosaics, other improvements but if you don’t know about porcelain tiles yet, you should start learning something about it.

You seen them very often in in ground pools usually the ones with a deep blue color but you didn’t know what they are.

Well they are porcelain pool tiles or porcelain glazed pool tiles. Most of them are produced in Japan and imported to US and Europe.

Their quality is usually related with their price (more expensive the better) but there are a few choices that are not extremely expensive and still provide you with best qualities.

If you still wonder where you saw porcelain tiles well think of those beautiful blue pool mosaics and you found them.

Porcelain pool tiles help both on achieving a higher rate of security around your pool (as they are slip-resistant) and increasing the general appearance of your pool.

You will definitely impress your guests with your new mosaic or new floor padded with porcelain tiles.

From a more practical point of view porcelain pool tiles are extremely resistant to both water and heavy traffic (they are rated IV to V in US, V being the highest rank of durability).

Usually on home application glazed versions are used as they give a comfortable feeling to the eye. These tiles are also frostproof and come in a wide variety of colors.

If you want, you can expand their use since they are suitable for kitchens, baths, lobbies and everything that requires a non-slip and very resistant material on the floor.

Interesting to know is the fact that these tiles are produced at extremely high pressures and temperatures (over 2000 degrees f).
