Which stone should you choose around a pool?

Outdoor advice

Which stone should you choose around a pool?

Pool coping and surrounds must handle water, sun, wet-dry cycles, pool treatments and barefoot traffic. Finish and installation are decisive.

First suitable selection

Marbre Bahia

What we check before approval

01

Traction comes first

Bush-hammered, sandblasted, aged or textured finishes are preferred over polished stone in wet areas.

02

Stone performance

Absorption, density and reaction to salts or pool chemicals must suit the exposure.

03

Comfort and detailing

Colour in sunlight, surface heat, coping edges, falls and drainage are considered together.

First suitable selection
