Glass pool tile: A good idea or not?

MIN Nautical Legendary Escape (13)Glass pool tile can sure be an eye-catching and beautiful element in a swimming pool. We came across an interesting article about some tile concerns in the pool market. Our best advice when it comes to pool tile in general, and specifically glass tile is this: Make sure you know that the tile you are getting is the right type for your climate, and that is is created according to industry standards for its application. As an example, you don’t want to use tile intended for the interior of your home in a swimming pool. You also want to be sure that if you are in a freeze/thaw cycle climate that you are getting “frost resistant” tile (as tile industry experts tell me there is no such label as “frost proof” any longer).  A bit of common sense is also helpful. If you live on a golf course where there may be flying golf balls is choosing a glass tile the best idea?
