Pool tiling and coping are two procedures associated with the final stages of pool and spa design. Tiling, as the name suggests, involves the laying of tiles over the pool surface.
Coping usually comes after tiling and involves the laying of coping material above the tile line. Once installed, the coping covers the top of the pool structure, separating the structure from the pool decking. Most copings are 12 inches wide. Copings can be made from poured concrete, precast concrete, or travertine.
Choosing pool tiles and coping material
Generally, the five tips listed below should help you when choosing pool finishing material;
- Find a picture of a pool you like – though new ideas are an inspiration, they are not easy design let alone actualize. Look at industry magazines, scour the internet for pictures of pools that inspire you and ask your pool builder to deliver something close to it. At Coronado’s Pool Plaster we give our all to satisfy our customers so as soon as we have a template we will always work to give you just that. Check out our Gallery of Pool Tiling and Coping!
- Don’t treat shade as the be-all-end-all – it’s good to consider tile shade because it’s ultimately going to affect the final appearance of the pool. However, shade also depends on lighting; when the sun is shining bright, a dark shade will still sparkle. So, if you’re comparing two similar tiles, shade might as well be the last thing you look at.
- The size of the pool/spa matters a lot – light colored pools appear bigger in smaller areas because as they blend in they usually create an illusion of space. Pools finished in darker colors will have a defined line around them which gives you an excellent opportunity to create a reflection pool look.
- Pay attention to the surrounding – find what’s common between the pool or spa and the surrounding and buy your tiles, coping, and other finishing material to complement the setting.
- Pick the pool color yourself –You’re the one who will be looking at the pool everyday so you should pick a color that you’re most comfortable with. Fortunately, you can always pick just about any color and Coronado’s Pool Plasters will still make your pool look great!
