Why Do You Need Coping Around a Pool?
Pool coping is an important part of your pool's design, not only for aesthetics but also for function.
Coping provides a smooth transition between the pool deck and the pool edge, and it helps to protect the pool structure from weather damage. It also provides a non-slip surface around the pool edge, which is essential for safety.
.
What Material is Best for Pool Coping?
Tile is a great choice for pool coping because it's beautiful and easy to maintain. Porcelain tile is not porous meaning it does not absorb liquids. It is a great choice for durability because it does not stain or crack.
Tile comes in a wide range of colors, styles, and textures, so you can create a unique look for your pool.

5 Practical & Classic Pool Coping Tile Ideas

1. Pool Pavers
Pavers are a classic choice for pool coping. They provide a timeless, rustic look to your pool and come in an array of natural stone colors. This pool area uses our Shell White Grip Tile which is square-shaped paver-style tile.

2. Natural Stone Look Pool Coping
If you're going for a natural stone look, then porcelain pool coping tiles are the way to go!
They offer a realistic look of natural stone and come in a variety of colors. This natural stone look compliments our Bisazza Gemme Hotmelt tile perfectly!

3. Concrete Look Pool Paving
Concrete look tiles are a great choice for pool coping because they offer a modern, clean look.
They come in many colors and textures so you can create the perfect look for your pool. This concrete look pool area makes the Blend Sydney Hotmelt pool tile stand out.

4. Decorative Pool Tiles
If you want to make a statement with your pool, then decorative pool coping tiles are a perfect choice.
These tiles come in a variety of patterns and colors and can be used to create an eye-catching design.
This stunning pool uses a pool coping combination of flagstone and our Blend Ghiaccio Hotmelt tile to create a space sure to get people talking!

5. Pool Decking
Decking is a great alternative to traditional pool coping tiles. Decking offers a modern, contemporary look with an added safety feature - the texture of decking provides non-slip properties.
