Pool Tiles Spring Hill Glass and Porcelain Pool Tiles

Swimming pools and their designs have come a long way from traditional single color rectangular pools. In modern times the trend has been to have your pool tiled with either glass or porcelain tiles to give your swimming pool some color and beauty. When it comes to glass and porcelain pool tiles, Spring Hill residents may have a hard time choosing between the two because to them, glass and ceramics are almost exactly the same with the exception of appearance. There are quite a few different reasons why someone would consider glass tiles over porcelain ones and vice versa.

Glass Tiles and What Makes Them Unique

Glass is a special building material that can add dimension to any space or room. Glass is great choice for smaller projects like back splashes or water lines around the top of a swimming pool because it creates contrast between traditional materials such as wood and ceramics. When it comes to pool tiles, Spring Hill residents would be making a great choice with glass because it comes in many patterns and colors that can be used as accents in conjunction with porcelain pool tiles. The one downfall with glass is that they are considered a luxury material, making them a little more expensive over their porcelain counterparts. One advantage to glass though is they are not hard to clean, making them very low maintenance.

Why Porcelain Tiles are Still a Contender

Porcelain is a cheaper and solid alternative to glass pool tiles. Spring Hill residents will find porcelain tiles great for high traffic areas because of their durability and stain resistant capabilities. Ceramics make for a great material both in and around the pool as they are very good at keeping moisture out from not being porous and do not heat up as much as glass tiles would. The one disadvantage of porcelain tiles is that they have to be secured with grout that is susceptible to water damage and staining over time.
