Benefits of Pool Coping

Why Coping is Essential for Your Pool

Coping refers to the tile or stone that lines the edge of your pool. This can be found on the inside edge, outside edge, or both. With coping, you can add a colorful splash of tile or classic stone accents. You can tie the bright or earthy colors in with your landscaping and outdoor seating area for a lovely cohesive look.

Coping offers three main benefits to pool owners outside of aesthetics. Firstly, it can help disguise any scum rings that tend to form at your pool’s waterline. Secondly, it can help prevent your concrete pool shell from cracking. And lastly, it protects your skin from burning as you walk around or lounge within your pool on hot days.

Coping

Disguise Waterlines

A pop colored tile or a subtle stone accent will not only distract the eye, but the materials are actually less likely to form a scum ring in the first place!

Material

Coping
Stone and tile coping do not hold heat. Install coping around your pool and avoid burned feet!
