The Versatility of Marble Pool Coping

Posted by Travertine Warehouse on February 8th, 2018

People’s impression of you and your home can be based on the exterior of your property. To make sure that you make the right impression, consider building an elegant marble driveway and line the sides with high-quality pool copings. Certain types of copings are not only for a marble pool. They are versatile for other applications, too, such as the steps on the stairs of your front porch or as a contrasting feature to the marble pavers you will use on the driveway or walkway. 

A marble driveway can easily transform your home’s exterior into something grander and opulent. If you have used the same material for your walkways, patio, and deck, then it makes sense to use it on your driveway for the sake of consistency and to achieve a seamless finish that will make your property look more elegant and upscale. Marble pool copings can be the finishing touches you will need to create a high-quality driveway. 

Reputable suppliers of natural stone tiles and pavers carry tumbled marble pool copings for rectangular shaped pools that have straight edges. Consider bullnose copings in sizes like 12” x 12” x 1 1/4” or 12” x 24” x 1 1/4” to create a more finished look for your driveway. If there are trip hazards, go for thick pool copings, which are specially designed for retro fit jobs and remodels. Only a handful of natural stone suppliers carry two-inch thick copings, so be sure to check with them. When used for pools, the product can help compensate for deck undulation and pool lip damage. It can be used to remedy an install flush, which was done with other hard deck materials and results in a high transition line that can cause people to trip. 

Marble is a good material for paving and copings because it is dense and durable. So, it can increase your home’s value and outlive other paving materials. This way, marble pool copings are cost-effective in the long run, too. This means your driveway and other applications where they are used should last for generations. In case you plan to sell your house in the future, the added value from marble will make the property more attractive to potential buyers.
