Choosing the Best Swimming Pool & Outdoor Tiles this Summer

27 August 2024

Although it may feel too early to be thinking about summer, now is the perfect time to get planning. Whilst traditionally, glass mosaics have been favoured for pools, almost all floor grade porcelain tiles are suitable. And they come with a lot of perks: they have a low porosity, exceptional strength, plus a larger variety of colours and sizes to choose from. Let’s take a look at some of the hottest tile inspiration to get the creative temperature spiking!

Not your average pool mosaics

Our new Z tile collection comes in a range of colours and finishes, with most designed for pool usage. These gorgeous Japanese mosaics definitely take on a whole new elevated feel to the words “pool mosaics”. These are an order in product, so be sure to order ahead of time to make sure they arrive in time to recline by your new pool this summer.
