Fully tiled interiors, waterline bands and slip-rated surrounds, chosen for how they look under water and how they hold up to chlorine, salt and sun.
Pool tiles have a harder job than any other tile. They sit under water, take chemical treatment and sun, and the surround has to stay safe for wet bare feet. Glass and porcelain mosaics are the standard for interiors because they are non-porous and colour-stable, while coping and surrounds need a textured, slip-rated finish.
We supply pool mosaics in plain colours, blends and patterns, including ranges from ONIX Mosaico, plus matching coping and paving in porcelain and natural stone. Tell us the pool size and we will help you work out quantities, including steps and benches.

Frequently asked questions
Glass or porcelain mosaics for a pool?
Both work. Glass gives depth and shimmer; porcelain offers matte and textured finishes and patterns. We will show you both wet so you can see the difference.
Do you supply commercial pools?
Yes. For hotels, apartments and public pools we provide specifications, slip test data and staged deliveries to suit the build.
