The question is not which material is better, but what you are asking of your pool: whether it has curves or straight lines, whether you want the water to read deep blue or sand, whether the terrace floor should continue inside or stop at the edge.<\/p>\n\n<p>This guide compares glass mosaic and porcelain against checkable criteria, so you reach the decision with the questions already answered.<\/p>\n\n<h2>What each material is<\/h2>\n\n<h3>Glass mosaic<\/h3>\n\n<p>Glass mosaic comes in small tesserae \u2014 usually 2.5 cm a side \u2014 held together on mesh or paper-faced sheets so they can be laid in panels. Because the pieces are small, the sheet folds: it climbs a Roman step, turns a tight radius and resolves an organic shape without forced cuts.<\/p>\n\n<p>Glass does not absorb water. That is its starting advantage in a shell that stays full all year. In exchange, it multiplies the grout surface, and the grout becomes the critical part of the assembly.<\/p>\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomila-ceramica.com\/en\/ezarri\/\">Ezarri<\/a> we work with mosaic made from recycled glass, with collections such as <strong>50mm<\/strong> \u2014 tesserae four times larger than the usual 25 mm \u2014 <strong>Aquarelle<\/strong>, with soft anti-slip textures, and <strong>Gemma<\/strong>, with a gloss finish and distinctive veining. At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomila-ceramica.com\/en\/onix\/\">Onix<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomila-ceramica.com\/en\/piu-mosaic\/\">Mosaico+<\/a> you will find other mosaic families for water and wet areas.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Porcelain<\/h3>\n\n<p>Porcelain is a ceramic tile pressed and fired at high temperature until the body is very dense. For pools you want the kind that declares a water absorption of 0.5 % or less and is expressly rated for permanent immersion: not all porcelain is.<\/p>\n\n<p>Its logic is the opposite of mosaic: few pieces, few joints, continuous surfaces. In a rectangular shell the result is clean and quiet, and it lets you carry the same material \u2014 or its outdoor version \u2014 out to the beach area and the terrace.<\/p>\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomila-ceramica.com\/en\/rosa-gres\/\">Rosa Gres<\/a> you will find collections made for pools and terraces, such as <strong>Tr\u00e9sor<\/strong> \u2014 Bali, in turquoise tones, and Java, volcanic \u2014 or <strong>Mistery<\/strong>, whose Blue Stone is described as \u00abperfect for terraces thanks to its resistance and excellent anti-slip finish\u00bb. Also <strong>Sophy<\/strong>, with anti-slip, low-maintenance surfaces, plus <strong>Cuore<\/strong> and <strong>Coral<\/strong> in a light Mediterranean range.<\/p>\n<h2>Head to head<\/h2>\n\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr><th>&nbsp;<\/th><th>Glass mosaic<\/th><th>Porcelain<\/th><\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td><strong>Format<\/strong><\/td><td>2.5 cm tesserae; also 5 cm<\/td><td>Medium up to large format<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Water absorption<\/strong><\/td><td>None: glass does not absorb<\/td><td>\u2264 0.5 % in immersion-rated tiles<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Curves and steps<\/strong><\/td><td>Adapts without forced cuts<\/td><td>Needs trim pieces and cuts<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Grout lines<\/strong><\/td><td>Many: they define the result<\/td><td>Few: a more continuous surface<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Continuity with the terrace<\/strong><\/td><td>Material changes at the coping<\/td><td>Same floor inside and out<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Water colour<\/strong><\/td><td>Gradients and blended tesserae<\/td><td>Even, stable tone<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Substrate demands<\/strong><\/td><td>High<\/td><td>Very high in large format<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Upkeep<\/strong><\/td><td>Keep an eye on the grout<\/td><td>Easy cleaning, less grout<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h2>Zone by zone: where each one fits<\/h2>\n\n<p>The decision is rarely \u00aball mosaic\u00bb or \u00aball porcelain\u00bb. Combining them is the norm:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Inside the shell, with curves or a Roman step.<\/strong> Glass mosaic. This is where its ability to fold makes the difference.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inside the shell, rectangular.<\/strong> Either. Immersion-rated porcelain gives a more continuous finish; mosaic gives more depth of colour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coping and edge.<\/strong> Specific trim pieces, with a rounded nose and an anti-slip finish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beach area and terrace.<\/strong> Anti-slip outdoor porcelain. Mosaic does not compete here: you want broad surfaces, easy cleaning and comfort underfoot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Steps and level changes.<\/strong> They should be legible. A change of tone or texture helps more than any signage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>If you like the idea of the terrace floor continuing indoors, we cover it in our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomila-ceramica.com\/en\/porcelanico\/same-floor-inside-and-out-mediterranean-terraces-with-continuous-paving\/\">the same floor inside and out<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2>The three things that actually decide it<\/h2>\n\n<h3>Water absorption<\/h3>\n\n<p>This is the figure that separates a suitable tile from an unsuitable one. It appears on the data sheet as water absorption and must be 0.5 % or less for permanent immersion. The glass in mosaic does not absorb, so the question only applies to porcelain. Learning to read that figure \u2014 and the rest \u2014 is more useful than it sounds: we explain it in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomila-ceramica.com\/en\/porcelanico\/how-to-read-a-tile-data-sheet-water-absorption-pei-and-rectified-edges\/\">how to read a tile data sheet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Slip resistance<\/h3>\n\n<p>Inside the shell it matters less; around it, it comes first. In barefoot, wet areas the usual reference is <strong>R11 and Class 3<\/strong>. It is a declared value, not an impression: if it is not on the data sheet, do not assume it. We have a dedicated guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomila-ceramica.com\/en\/porcelanico\/anti-slip-pool-flooring-which-class-you-need-r11-class-3\/\">which anti-slip class a pool needs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h3>The grout<\/h3>\n\n<p>This is where the service life of the finish is decided, and where the budget is most often underestimated. Grout and adhesive must be rated for permanent immersion and compatible with the water treatment \u2014 chlorine or salt chlorination. Excellent mosaic with the wrong grout ages badly; perfect porcelain over a shell that moves does too.<\/p>\n\n<p>We sell and advise on the material; the installation is your fitter&#8217;s job. What we can give you is everything they need to know in order to specify the right system: you can pass on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomila-ceramica.com\/en\/porcelanico\/laying-porcelain-floor-tiles-guide\/\">guide to laying porcelain floor tiles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>The water colour changes with the finish<\/h2>\n\n<p>This is the part that surprises people most. Water has no colour: it reflects the shell. A white finish gives a very pale, almost crystalline blue; sand gives green-turquoise tones; grey or black give depth and the look of a still sheet of water.<\/p>\n\n<p>It is worth settling the colour before the material, because it shapes the choice more than you would expect. We go into it in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomila-ceramica.com\/en\/category-swimming-pools\/what-color-will-my-pool-water-look-like\/\">what colour your pool water will look<\/a>, and in the specific case of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomila-ceramica.com\/en\/porcelanico\/tresor-bali-rosa-gres-pools\/\">Tr\u00e9sor Bali by Rosa Gres<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2>What you will find at Gomila<\/h2>\n\n<p>In our Palma showroom you can see and handle both families before deciding: glass mosaic from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomila-ceramica.com\/en\/ezarri\/\">Ezarri<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomila-ceramica.com\/en\/onix\/\">Onix<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomila-ceramica.com\/en\/piu-mosaic\/\">Mosaico+<\/a>, and pool and outdoor porcelain from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomila-ceramica.com\/en\/rosa-gres\/\">Rosa Gres<\/a>, among other brands in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomila-ceramica.com\/en\/porcelain\/\">porcelain flooring<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gomila-ceramica.com\/en\/mosaics\/\">mosaic<\/a> catalogue.<\/p>\n\n<p>We work with private clients and with professionals across Mallorca, advising on formats, finishes, trim pieces and material compatibility.

For shells with curves, a Roman step or organic shapes, glass mosaic adapts better. For rectangular shells and continuous finishes, immersion-rated porcelain gives a cleaner result and lets the same floor continue onto the terrace. Combining the two \u2014 mosaic inside, porcelain outside \u2014 is very common.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Can I use ordinary porcelain in a pool?<\/strong><br>No. Only porcelain with a water absorption of 0.5 % or less and expressly rated by the manufacturer for permanent immersion. Indoor porcelain is not designed to sit submerged continuously or to withstand chlorine or salt chlorination.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What slip resistance does a pool edge need?<\/strong><br>In barefoot, wet areas the usual reference is R11 and Class 3. It is a value declared on the product data sheet and worth checking before you choose, especially for the beach area, coping and steps.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Does glass mosaic need more maintenance than porcelain?<\/strong><br>It has more grout surface, so the grout is the thing to watch. With a grout rated for permanent immersion and compatible with the water treatment, maintenance is perfectly reasonable. Porcelain, with fewer joints, makes cleaning simpler.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Can I use the same material in the shell and on the terrace?<\/strong><br>You can use the same collection in different finishes: the immersion-rated one inside the shell and the anti-slip outdoor version on the beach area. That is the usual way to get visual continuity without giving up grip.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Where can I buy pool mosaic and porcelain in Mallorca?<\/strong><br>At Gomila Cer\u00e1mica in Palma de Mallorca.
