What to consider when selecting your pool coping
Style & Color
When selecting your pool coping material, it is important to coordinate the color with the materials being used for the pool patio. If you are installing a Techo Bloc paver patio, there are many options for pool coping to select a matching or contrasting color depending on the style of your project.
Cost
Not all pool copings are created equal. The cost can vary greatly between materials, applications and installation methods. If you are installing a concrete or exposed aggregate pool deck, cantilever is typically a nice option as it provides a clean, finished appearance without a high cost. Stone will be the most expensive option when compared with block, paver copings or cantilever. Be sure to consult with a professional sales associate to find the best coping options on your swimming pool project.
Temperature
Some pool coping materials tend to get hot when in direct sun. Certain types of stone (such as bluestone) can become very hot on your feet during the sunniest hours of the day in the summertime.
