What is a popular pool tile?
Mosaic tile is a classic and popular choice for pool tiling. Whether you choose a subtle, neutral design or a vibrant and eye-catching pattern, mosaic tiles add an extra dimension of style and sophistication to your pool area!

The Bisazza Swimming Pool Tiles
If you are after a mosaic tile that leads the way in technical innovation and is beyond stunning, Bisazza Swimming Pool Tiles' revolutionary hotmelt range could be for you!
Exclusively available in Australia and New Zealand, the hotmelt system uses polyurethane (PU) thermoset adhesive, which is strong, easy to adjust and able to be fully immersed. The PU adhesive is also UV resistant, so it will not darken over its life (non-UV-resistant materials may cause spots to be seen through the mosaic).

What is the best colour of tiles for a swimming pool?
When it comes to pool tiles, there is no one-size-fits-all answer. The best colour of tiles for a swimming pool will depend on your personal preference and the overall design scheme of your outdoor areas. Each colour has its own effect in a pool and is something you should consider.

Effects of different pool tile colours
It’s often difficult to judge how specific tile colours will look in a swimming pool filled with water; see below for examples of how tile colours can change when in water.
Pool colour is also affected by several outdoor elements. This could include the colour of the sky, shadowing from trees and buildings and pool depth. The surrounding colours, such as the coping, paving and house, can also influence the tone of colour in the pool.

Blue Pool Tiles
Opt for blue tiles to create a cool and refreshing atmosphere in your pool area. A popular choice for many people, blue or turquoise tiles help cool the water temperature.

1. Modern Pool Tile Design
Keep things sleek and simple with modern, clean lines. Choose tiles with a glossy finish and pair them with simple patio finishes like neutral tones and pavers.
