Picking the Perfect Pool Tiles
When you’re picking out glass pool tiles for your swimming pool or spa, it’s incredibly important because it impacts how long they’ll last and how good they’ll look. That’s why we always suggest investing in premium glass pool tiles. They’re durable and sport a superb design that stands the test of time.
Why Invest in High-Quality Glass Pool Tiles?
When you splash out on a swimming pool, you want to ensure you get everything as close to perfect from the start, so that you can enjoy your new pool with family and friends instead of fixing it all the time. You want something that’ll stand the test of time without much maintenance, drama or hassle. That’s why we supply a premium range of Spanish glass pool tiles from Spain’s leading mosaic pool manufacturers: Aquage and ONIX. They’re advocates of sustainable practices and their tiles deliver quality on both appearance and durability. Additionally, their products are as kind to the planet, as they are durable in your backyard. So really, everybody wins.
Stylish, Sustainable Pool Solutions
Our Aquage glass pool tiles are manufactured in Spain, to world-class standards and industry practices using 100% recycled glass materials, without the use of fossil fuels, water or emitting greenhouse gasses. Utilising innovative technology and designs, these glass pool tiles are CSIRO tested and certified to AS 3958.1-2007 and will add both beauty and practical functionality to your poolside area. Meanwhile, our ONIX glass pool tiles are made of 98% recycled glass, which also makes them ideal for environmentally conscious pool designs. These Spanish glass pool tiles are made to the highest Australian standards and come with robust quality controls to make sure they add value and joy to your family for years to come.
Advanced Technology for Long-Lasting Beauty and Hygiene
Aquage glass pool tiles are made using vitreous mosaics with 0% water absorption. Alongside this, the recycled glass blend used to produce Aquage pool tiles, results in a durable and resistant surface that remains unaffected by chemical agents and is resistant to stains and alkalis. We guarantee that the surface of Aquage tiles will remain smooth, without cracks or degradation, inhibiting the growth of algae and other organisms. This means you’ll spend less time maintaining, cleaning and/or changing the pool tiles and more time actually swimming in it. The ONIX collection has antibacterial and hygienic properties, making maintenance easier and ensuring hygiene – a perfect solution for families and those who love to entertain.
Installation and Aesthetic Excellence
Pool mosaic tiles are suitable for a variety of purposes. You can install them on either walls or floors of both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, spas and other water features like fountains or outdoor lakes. One of the many advantages of working with glass mosaic tiles is that they’re 4mm thick and are more lightweight than other glass mosaics. This makes installation easier and with their beautifully fine corners and a thin grout joint, Aquage and Onix Spanish glass tiles for pools will look (and feel) amazing installed wherever you choose.
Reliable Installation Systems and Grouting Innovation for Lasting Results
Another important consideration when choosing your glass pool tiles, is checking their backing system for installation purposes. In the pool tiling industry, there are a few types of backings for glass mosaic tiles: mesh, paper-based, Jointpoint Panelling and the On Point (Dot) System. The most reliable of all these are the Jointpoint and On Point Systems. Aquage and ONIX glass pool tiles both utilise the Dot Backing System, where the glass tiles are joined together by silicone dots. This allows you to adhere 91% of the glass pool tiles to your pool’s substrate/shell. Along with lasting cohesion and maximum surface grip, this allows for an easier installation process. As glass mosaic tiles are submerged under water 100% of the time, you want as much of the tiles surface to be glued to the substrate as possible, so that they stay glued over time. Working with international brands like Aquage and ONIX – that utilise the most evolutionary technology – is another major reason why Armstone, a leading pool tile company, only supplies these Spanish pool mosaics.
Why the Traces System is Game Changer for Grouting Pool Tiles
While Jointpoint Panelling and Dot-Mounted/On Point Systems are the go-tos for pool tiles, we suggest a word of caution in the grouting process. You see, oftentimes the grout peels after some time due to general wear and tear. However, this is both a safety and aesthetics concern. To avoid this, we recommend using the Traces System for grouting your mosaic glass pool tiles.
The Traces System creates a maximum bond with the back of the glass swimming pool mosaic tiles and the substrate that it’s adhered to. As it doesn’t intrude into the grout joint, you can achieve full, uninterrupted grout coverage. It’s safe to say that the Traces System has revolutionised the swimming pool tile application and will save you time and money when installing either the Aquage or ONIX Spanish glass pool tiles.
Your Dream Pool Aesthetic
So, whether you want your swimming pool, spa or water feature to resemble a lagoon, resort, ocean, deep, dark lake, or to reflect every colour of the sky, you’ll find that our collection of Aquage and ONIX pool tiles can cater to your every colour and design desire, home aesthetic and lifestyle purpose.
