When you’re picking out glass pool tiles for your swimming pool or spa, it’s incredibly important to choose the right ones 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.
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, Arts 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.
Our Arts 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.
Arts glass pool tiles are made using vitreous mosaics with 0% water absorption. Alongside this, the recycled glass blend used to produce Arts 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 Arts 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 of glass pool tiles has antibacterial and hygienic properties, making maintenance easier and ensuring hygiene – a perfect solution for families and those who love to entertain.
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, which makes installation easier. Additionally, Arts and Onix Spanish glass tiles for pools have beautifully fine corners and a thin grout joint, so they will look (and feel) amazing wherever you choose to install them. Our Arts range of Spanish Glass Pool Tiles is available in 24x24mm sizes and our ONIX range in 50x50mm cuts.
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 these are the Jointpoint and On Point Systems. Arts 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 tile’s surface to be glued to the substrate as possible, so that they stay glued over time. Working with international brands like Arts 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.
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 is 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 Arts or ONIX Spanish glass pool tiles.
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 Arts and ONIX pool tiles can cater to your every colour and design desire, home aesthetic and lifestyle purpose.
Much like our natural stone pavers and structural porcelain pavers, we select our pool tiles based on the following tri-factor: highest quality, pleasing aesthetic and unsurpassable safety. We’ve scoured the globe to find the best materials and designs that will breathe life and joy into your outdoor pool area.
Along with choosing your pool and glass pool tiles or mosaics, it’s important to find the best quality pavers and pool coping to complete your outdoor swimming pool or spa area. Our product range includes porcelain pavers and stone pavers, cobblestones, wall cladding, stone capping, garden pebbles, stepping stones and many accessories to complete your outdoor oasis.

We’ve summarised pool tile cleaning into eight very simple steps:
1) Clean away the organic material.
2) Brush glass pool lines.
3) Use the right cleaning solutions.
4) Drain and clean once a year.
5) Use a pumice stone on tough stains.
6) Soda blast as a last resort.
7) Use a solar cover.
8) Take preventative measures.

There are several reasons why pool tiles fall off. The four most common ones are:
– Using an old and dated backing system.
– Applying the wrong type of adhesive during installation.
– Not using enough glue.
– Poor workmanship.
