Pool Coping
PROTECTION OF NATURAL STONE POOL COPING.
Protection of NATURAL STONE POOL COPING is paramount for longevity.
Discuss with your pool builder & stone supplier the best process to suit your stone type and pool design. Maintenance of your pool and duty of care is important for the life of your stone. The most important tip would be to 'maintain the water level of your pool'. SOLUTIONS - Sealers for Stone & Tile suggest at least 120mm below the pool coping, to reduce excessive levels of moisture from under the stone. With this in mind, installing an overflow pipe would be an advantage.
Excessive moisture can be the biggest cause of stone degradation, so to reduce the ability of moisture transfer, we suggest using a breathable penetrating sealer. A good quality penetrating sealer like PRESTIGE. This will give you GREAT stain resistance with excellent vapour diffusion (Allowing moisture through the stone to 'breathe'). The use of a stone densifier like CONSOLIDATE will help strengthen your stone and again give great water repellancy. For this particular sealer on pool coping, we suggest a SIX SIDE/DIP sealing process. When using this system, a suitable adhesive and curing time of sealer would have to be considered.
