Curves are very on trend this year, but when it comes to executing design plans with gorgeous curves, quite often builders can run into difficulties in sourcing suitable products to make the curved designs work.
In this situation, a perfectly round spa and oval-shaped pool required special curved limestone coping to create a flawlessly executed look.
The Belgium Blue limestone by SAI Stone is an ultra-high-density limestone that is safe for use around salt water. This limestone lasts longer and suffers minimal salt water-induced problems (especially with regular freshwater cleaning). This product is one of the few limestones that has been rated “exposure grade” when tested against salt water by the ASTM International (which is the standards organisation for testing and materials). “The stone is finished with a sandblasting treatment that gives the stone coping a smooth yet grippy surface,” explains Hunter Li from SAI Stone. “It’s also rated P5, which is the highest anti-slip rating.”
SAI Stone pavers and sandstone coping stone are leading options for swimming pool and spa surrounds thanks to their anti-slip properties, perfect colour contrast with water and landscaping and with their salt-tolerant solution. SAI offers a one-stop solution for curved pool customers and pool builders. Through the use of a digital templating service and a shop drawing, you’ll receive pool coping matched to your pool curve in 10 to 12 weeks.
Whether you’re building a brand-new fibreglass pool, renovating an old concrete pool or designing a fully customised concrete pool, SAI has got you covered.
