Just in case youre not familiar with the term, waterline tiles are the rows of swimming pool tiles that are set right beneath the coping. Although they are usually a six-inch strip that runs along the waterline, many pool designers prefer a wider band to give the appearance that the tiles are well under the water line. Whichever width you choose, waterline tiles will greatly enhance the appearance of your pool, and they will heighten the color of the water as it reflects these tiles.
From a practical standpoint, they are easy to clean, and they can help to avoid the bath-ring effect, which is the staining that can occur in your pool over time and often resembles a bathtub ring. Since the tiles are mostly above the water, they are easier to repair as well as to maintain.

And while it is the more expensive choice, you can use it with a less-expensive pool tile and still reap the beauty of its surface reflections. Available in a variety of shapes, patterns, and colors, glass pool tiles are a smart choice for several reasons, including the fact that surveys show they can increase the resale value of your home. Here are some other reasons:
