Douglas Jones: Pool Tiles

Create a designer-look pool with Douglas Jones’ wide range of unique glass mosaic pool tiles.

Affordable, durable and available in a range of colours and designs, mosaic pool tiles allow you to completely customise your pool, whether you choose to apply it as a lining, decorative water line or to create a beautiful design on a section of the floor or wall of your pool.

As Douglas Jones notes: “Why settle for the same pool as your neighbour? Get creative and select a mosaic which is sure to stimulate positive conversation, apart from the obvious satisfaction of being unique and personalised.”

The company has a wide selection of beautiful glass and porcelain mosaics to choose from, including monochrome options and patterned mosaic sheets with a multicolour effect.

While both porcelain and glass mosaics are a great option for swimming pools, glass tiles have grown in popularity over the last few years as they are eco-friendly, non-porous and add a decidedly luxurious finishing touch to any pool, big or small. The reflective quality of glass also provides a unique effect, making the water sparkle more.

Our favourites glass mosaics for making a splash are:

Lottering Italia River Glass mosaics for a sexy, contemporary pool with a decidedly masculine edge. Plus, the small-format glad tiles are bang on trend.

Bushmans Italia River Glass, Breede Mix or Keurbooms Mix of blue-and-white mosaics for a classic look and enhancing the watercolour.

The kaleidoscopic Olifants Mix is a great option for those wanting to have some colourful fun poolside. Another hot option is to mix sheets of coloured mosaics to create a unique design. Think contemporary geometric patterns with sheets in different colours such as blue, green and yellow.

There’s no reason to stop at standard format square tiles though! Glass mosaics in a herringbone pattern are another novel option. Try the Lorcan Herringbone sheets in blues and whites.

Another re-emerging trend in pool designs is patterned tiles. We love the fun Wales pattern or monochrome Asturias pattern for loads of visual interest.
