A pool is most often the focal point of an outdoor living space. Using reclaimed stone compliments and accentuates the limitless design possibilities a pool affords: from contemporary spas and infinity pools, to asymmetrical layouts, to features such as diving stones, tanning edges and waterfalls.
Reclaimed granite stone pool coping delivers the precise edging and consistent surface desirable in coping applications. Its durability and clean lines make it well-suited for surrounding deck area aesthetics. And the option of a bush-hammered finish for texture in wet conditions is an added plus.
Reclaimed sandstone is a versatile choice for both stone pool coping and decking. Its subtle, earthy tones integrate well with modern and rustic designs. And its grip-providing texture and tendency to stay cooler than many materials add practical value as well.
Pool coping acts as the direct border (usually 1-2′) and edge of the pool, while decking is the larger area which extends out from the coping. While not required functionally, a distinct change in material and/or pattern between coping and decking creates a striking aesthetic.
There are several factors to consider:
Considering these questions will help determine the best possible coping for your pool.
Yes. Many reclaimed stones provide natural texture that offers good traction when wet while remaining comfortable underfoot. And, while all natural stone can warm in direct sunlight, lighter-toned, textured surfaces tend to stay cooler than darker material. Shade, layout and proper installation all play a role in achieving a safe, usable stone pool deck.
