Tile finish

A fully tiled pool interior — the most durable and expensive finish, prized for its appearance and decades-long lifespan.

An all-tile interior covers the pool surface in glass, porcelain, or ceramic tile, the top-of-the-market finish for both looks and longevity. Properly installed tile can last decades with minimal degradation.

It's by far the priciest option — often several times the cost of plaster — because of the labor-intensive installation. Many pools use tile only as a waterline accent band over a plaster or pebble interior to capture some of the look at lower cost.
