Marble is one of the most beautiful and revered materials when it comes to countertops, shower surrounds, hot tub coping and pool coping. Not only is it luxurious and timeless, it’s durable and classic, providing a gorgeous finish to any area of your home. It can also boost your property value, particular when using the highest quality marble pool copings.
Check out these fun facts about marble and why it can make the perfect addition to your pool.
1. Variety of Colors and Designs
You can easily choose the perfect color and veining pattern in marble that suits your personal taste. There are simply endless options out there! Marble pavers and copings in particular are available in a variety of different colors and designs, helping you to craft a bold yet natural look that adds a unique appearance to your pool or hot tub. Why have a pool that looks like everybody else’s when you can make it a one of a kind fixture of your property? Take advantage of marble, which is cut from natural stone boasting unique characteristics.
2. Safety
Marble is the perfect material for pool and hot tub coping because it naturally resists bacteria and other harmful substances that can proliferate in more porous stones. This is an important consideration when you have many people using the pool throughout the summer, bringing their own germs to the pool area.
In addition, marble can help reduce falls, which are common around pool decks that tend to be covered in water from splashing. For instance, you can add tumbled marble pavers to your pool deck as well as for your pool copings to reduce the risk of falls on slippery surfaces thanks to the extra grip underfoot.
3. Easy to Clean
Marble is super easy to clean and maintain so you don’t have to spend a ton of time cleaning the pool area on a regular basis. If it does need cleaning, all you need is some warm water and mild soap. And because marble is naturally stain-resistant, you don’t have to worry about spills quite as much. However, we recommend wiping up spills from colored or acidic liquids right away just in case, especially if the marble is not sealed.
4. Variety of Types and Sizes
Marble copings are available in a wide spectrum of types and sizes. For example, standard bullnose marble coping is great for uniquely-shaped or awkwardly-shaped swimming pools that have many rounded curves. It’s small enough not to require excessive cutting, yet large enough for cost efficiency. You may want to use tumbled copings if you have a rectangular-shaped or straight-edged pool. Use them for the steps and on the deck to provide a consistent, uniform look and feel.
