Maximum Submerged Bonding for Pools & Built-In Spas
Unlike traditional mesh backing that can weaken adhesive bonding in water, Spanish Jointpoint technology joins tiles using small, flexible polyurethane dots. This leaves over 92% to 95% of the tile back open to direct thin-set mortar contact, guaranteeing a permanent bond that prevents tile detachment in submerged pools, built-in spas, and vertical wall cladding.
Spanish Porcelain Craftsmanship for Pools, Spas, and Interior Walls
The Spanish Deco Series offers architects and pool builders a reliable decorative solution for swimming pool and wellness surfaces. The combination of a dense porcelain body and Jointpoint mounting ensures the tiles withstand constant water pressure and chemical treatments without fading or peeling.
When installed as interior wall cladding in wet zones, spa facilities, or luxury bathrooms, these Spanish porcelain tiles shield structural walls from humidity while creating a clean, structured decorative accent.
Frequently Asked Questions About Spanish Deco Porcelain Tiles
What is Jointpoint technology and why is it better for swimming pools and spas? +
Jointpoint technology connects tiles with small, highly durable back-dots instead of fiberglass mesh. This allows setting adhesive to cover almost 100% of the tile back directly, creating a far stronger permanent bond in submerged pool and spa environments.
Are Spanish Deco tiles made of porcelain or ceramic? +
The Deco Series is made of 100% dense glazed porcelain. Its near-zero water absorption (<0.5%) ensures it will not crack, absorb moisture, or delaminate under full water submersion or high-humidity spa conditions.
Can these porcelain tiles be used for built-in spas and wall cladding? +
Yes. Thanks to the Jointpoint system and porcelain body, they provide strong mechanical adhesion inside built-in spas, pool interiors, water feature walls, and interior wall cladding.
Where are Deco Series tiles imported from? +
This collection is 100% imported from Spain, manufactured by specialized Spanish porcelain producers known for advanced pool and spa tile engineering.
Where can I inspect physical samples of Spanish Jointpoint porcelain tiles? +
You can inspect physical tile samples and view Jointpoint backing in person at the GNG Tiles Malaysia showroom: No. 15, Jalan Pendidik U1/31, Hicom Glenmarie Industrial Estate, 40150 Shah Alam, Selangor.
