Having a pool can be fun and intimidating at the same time. Yes, it’s all happy-go-lucky when you organize the poolside parties, host barbeque dinners, and organize kids’ birthdays. But when it comes to the renovation or remodel after the years have worn-out - the hassle is even more exhausting! So, at this time - what should you actually start with? Well, yes - let’s talk about updating the pool waterline.
The pool waterline is the primary element that gets affected due to the accumulation of calcium deposits, mineral collection, body oils, and other debris. So, it’s ideal to install a pool waterline tile that is not only seamless but also makes it much easier to clean the perimeter of the pool. Generally, there are two major types of pool waterline tiles: porcelain and glass. And today, we’re going to dive deeper into the glass tile waterline! So, let’s get started!
Why Should You Choose Glass Tile for the Pool Waterline?
Initially, porcelain tiles were used for a waterline that is water-resistant, durable, and quite ideal for outdoor pools. However, with ongoing trends in the pool design and remodeling industry, the glass tiles seem to have taken over. These glass tiles offer unmatched aesthetics that can tend to make your pools appear clean, sleek, elegant, and quite timeless. We, at Mineral Tiles, offer an endless list of glass tile options in various sizes, shapes, textures, and colors.
For instance, have a look at our Bahamas Collection that’s bound to give you a much-needed vacation vibe. These pool mosaic tiles are available in various shades of blue as well as white to complement every pool panorama. On the other hand, our Splash Collection offers the illusion of movement and dimension and is available in various hues such as blues as well as grays. Another type of popular glass waterline tiles is the Wood Layers that are available in the subway as well as hexagon shapes. These are wood-looking mosaic tiles that are made of 100% recycled glass.
More and more homeowners are opting for mosaic pool tiles due to their brilliant diamond-like shine and luster. The pool tiles capture the sunlight and make the pool feel more light, airy, and enhanced. Moreover, these glass pool tiles add a sense of movement to the pool. More than aesthetics, glass tiles are one of the most durable and long-lasting. They are resistant to discoloration, fading, staining, UV damage, and chemical corrosion.
How to Clean Glass Tile for the Pool Waterline?
Generally, it’s much easier to clean glass tiles as compared to any other type. The best characteristic of glass tiles is that they don’t absorb moisture which can lead to molding. All you need is a simple wash with a sponge or cloth and a combination of mild soap to wipe the surface. Remember to avoid using harsh chemicals for the glass tiles. So, long story short, what’s better than a material that offers aesthetics, durability, as well as easy maintenance, and easy cleanability, right?
