What is used for the coping?

11 years ago

I have a large patio of Monticello and Mista and Antika (grays). Walls are mini-creta and all the coping is Portafina. We love it. We are now putting in a pool along the patio and plan to use the Mista around the pool in herringbone. Was wondering about coping suggestions. I like this coping a lot. Is this Aberdeen 10x30? I don't want to use Portafina for the coping as I think the overhand would make it more difficult to get out on the sides of the pools. The bullnose coping is a bit too sedate for me. Also, would it be wacky to use Portafina on the raised spa and a different coping for the pool?

Thanks!

Hey Amy, the coping in the picture above is called Piedimonte. As for other options, do you prefer polished or slate finishes?

Polished look rather than rustic. So Piedimonte in 11 or 14? Looks like the 11 but assume we could use either. Also, our current colors are slate grays (not the Champlain gray). Would we go for the Piedimonte in Riviera or Onyx Black? Thanks for the fast response!

My pleasure! I believe these are the 11 3/4 caps, but appropriate sizing really depends on the products you've already installed. If you like a sleek finish, I would definitely suggest checking out our Raffinato copping as well, it's very contemporary and also comes in shale grey so it'd be the perfect color match. As for Riviera or Onyx Black, it honestly really depends on your personal taste. The best possible thing you can do is contact your local contractor or dealer and ask them for samples of all the products you're considering. Lay these out alongside your existing slabs and pavers and you'll really get an idea of the direction you want to head in. Hope this helps :)

Yes, I do like the Raffinato. Last question. The spec sheet shows 3 colors but the web page shows 7 colors. Assuming the spec sheet hasn't caught up? Thanks for your assistance.

No worries, ask away! And yes, you're right, many new colors have been made available just recently, as such the spec sheet hasn't caught up. Let me know if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate.
