Choosing the right glass mosaic tile for your swimming pool isn't just about looks—it's about performance, longevity, and the overall experience your pool delivers. Two of the most popular options today are fused glass mosaics and crystal glass mosaics.
At WIFi Ceramics, we offer both types of premium glass tiles and often get asked: Which one is better for my pool?
This guide breaks down the differences between fused and crystal glass mosaics to help you make the right choice for your project.
Fused glass mosaics are made by layering and melting colored glass at high temperatures until they bond into a single, solid sheet. The result is a smooth, durable tile with deep color saturation.
Key Features:
Rich, vivid colors that won't fade
Non-porous and highly resistant to chemicals
Often matte or soft-gloss surface finish
Excellent thermal and water resistance
Great for custom murals and curved surfaces
Best For:
Clients who want durability, soft elegance, and customizable patterns that last for years—even in commercial pools.
Crystal glass mosaics are made by fusing a colored backing to a thick layer of clear glass. This gives the tile a glossy, transparent surface that creates a bright, sparkling look in water.
Key Features:
High transparency with a jewel-like shine
Strong visual impact, especially in bright sunlight
Available in a wide range of bold colors
Slightly more slippery surface
Requires extra care in edge finishing and backing
Best For:
Designers looking for luxury aesthetics, brilliant reflection, and standout visual effects—often used in premium residential pools or accent areas.
