Glass Mosaic Tiles: The Luxury Standard

Iridescent glass tiles remain the premium choice for waterline applications. They catch and reflect light beautifully, creating a jewel-like effect. Popular colors include deep blues, teals, and multi-tonal blends.

Large Format Porcelain

Oversized porcelain tiles (12x24 and larger) are trending for pool surrounds and integrated pool edges. They create a seamless, contemporary look with fewer grout lines.
