COPING STONE REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENT
Stone and pavers not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the top of a pool wall but also contribute to slip prevention. The leading edge of the stone is often intentionally designed to serve as a grip for swimmers. Additionally, the coping should be set at an angle away from the pool to prevent debris and storm runoff from entering the water.
- Depending on your construction options and budget goals. There are many choices available for coping stone including precast, natural stone, tile, brick, and aluminum. Edges can be rolled edges, which is practical and safe for swimmers, or bullnose rough cut edges, which offer their own advantages and aesthetics options
- Coping is almost always performed simultaneously with replacing the tile line for both visual and practical reasons. Prior to the application of the new stones, all loose and decaying material must be removed to ensure optimal adhesion and a durable bond.
