Summer means pool time – and the area around your pool deserves special attention. If you want to create an outdoor space that combines warmth, natural beauty and slip-resistant safety, handcrafted terracotta tiles are the perfect solution. In this article, you’ll learn everything you need to know about terracotta tiles in pool areas – honest, professional, and 100% accurate.
Why choose terracotta tiles for the pool area?
A natural material without chemicals
Our terracotta tiles for outdoor use are made exclusively from clay and water – with no artificial additives. Thanks to the handcrafted production process, each tile has its own unique structure and color – perfect for anyone looking to create a natural, Mediterranean poolside atmosphere.

Handcrafted vs. Industrial Terracotta Tiles
Slip-Resistant Surface for Maximum Safety
Slip resistance is essential around the pool. Our terracotta tiles designed for pool areas feature a naturally rough, matte surface that ensures reliable grip even when wet. This makes them especially suitable for families with children or for pool surrounds that are frequently walked on barefoot.
Heat-Resistant and UV-Stable
Unlike many other pool tiles, terracotta surfaces remain pleasantly cool – even under direct sunlight. Their colors are UV-resistant and won’t fade, making them a long-lasting solution for outdoor areas.
The Most Common Questions from Our Customers

Do Terracotta Tiles Require Special Cleaning?
No – when properly sealed, outdoor terracotta tiles only need regular care with water and a mild, acid-free cleaner. Over time, a natural patina develops, giving the tiles even more character and highlighting their authentic charm.
