Travertine Pool Coping Gives Your Swimming Pool A Signature Look.

Posted by Eric Barthelemy on April 6th, 2016

The swimming pool is a place where you can unwind, relax, have fun, play, and entertain, so it makes sense if you want to make it look good and conducive for those activities. Travertine copings can help you achieve an elegant and incredible looking pool that can add value to your property. With travertine pool copings, you can say goodbye to rough and unattractive concrete edges, and upgrade the look of your swimming pool to something that can rival that of higher-end properties.

Travertine copings are specially designed for the edge of an in-ground pool, so they come with a bullnosed or rounded edge on one side. The rounded side should face the pool for a comfortable design and a softened look, unlike what conventional concrete copings provide. The copings can be customized to fit any shape or size of swimming pool. When you buy them from a reputable natural stone tile supplier and retailer, you will find that they come in ready to install copings, so you can easily finish your home improvement project.

Pool copings must be safe to prevent slips and falls. Travertine copings may appear smooth, but the surface has fine details that can increase grip for bare feet and footwear for added safety. These features also increase the beauty and comfort of the edge of your pool. Travertine copings often come in a tumbled finish to achieve these effects while ensuring a matte and elegant finish. Just remember to seal them after installation to prolong their service life and performance.

Travertine pool copings are supplied as standard, thick, and remodeling copings. Standard products offer a conventional finish to any in-ground spa or pool deck. They come in a standard bullnosed tumbled variant that is 4x9x1.5” in size from reputable suppliers, and that is good enough for uniquely shaped pools with several rounded and curvy areas. The size is small enough to eliminate the need to make large cuts, making installation more cost-effective. Standard travertine pool copings are versatile and can be used for the steps on the stairs of the pool, too.

Thick travertine pool copings are designed for retrofit and remodeling jobs. They are about two inches thick, and this compensates for certain features like uneven surfaces, pool lip damage, and an install flush with another materials. Travertine remodel pool copings are especially designed to minimize upgrades. Their pre-formed shape lets you install them directly over existing copings.
