Waterline tile is more than just a “pretty face” for your pool, it also plays an important role in maintaining a healthy, clean facility. A well-maintained tile line resists the accumulation of oils and debris allowing the pool’s skimmer system to be more effective. When a scum line does appear on the tile it is much easier to clean than a more porous surface like cement.

The local health authority may require specific information on the tile line to inform patrons of pool depth and diving rules so a knowledgeable contractor is essential when it comes to pool tile replacement.

There have never been more options available for swimming pool tile. Ceramic, stone, or glass tile are available in every color and design imaginable. Of course, some tiles are more expensive than others so let our renovation experts offer you the tile you love at a price that fits your budget.

Not every tile is suitable for swimming pool use. Swimming pool tiles should be waterproof, double glazed, and protected against ultraviolet (UV) rays. In colder climates, the tile should also be frost-proof.

Pool chemistry, proper winterization, and grout maintenance all play a role in the longevity of a tile line. It makes sense to keep up on tile maintenance to get the most out of your investment. Of course, there will come a time when full replacement is more cost-effective than the larger repairs needed as a tile line has reached a certain age or condition.
