Glass tile is well suited for use in swimming pools. It is completely non-absorbent, and is not affected by exposure to water or extremes of weather. The decoration on the face of the tile is fused to the surface in a ceramic glazing process, and is not affected by water or chemicals that would normally be used in swimming pools. Any color or pattern in the glass tile will not fade nor discolor. The surface decoration of the glass tile, and the surface of most glazed tiles, can be scratched by hard objects. This type of damage is unlikely to occur during normal pool use, but care should be taken when construction equipment and tools are used in the vicinity of the pool.
The application of the thinset mortar and the installation of the glass tile should be done in accordance with the standard installation instructions that are shown on the Interstyle glass tile literature.
