Pool coping & porcelain paver FAQs

The honest answers to the things people worry about most when choosing surfaces for pools and outdoor spaces.

What’s the difference between porcelain tiles and pool coping?

Porcelain tiles cover surfaces such as patios, paths and pool surrounds. Pool coping is the specially shaped piece that finishes the pool’s edge, creating a comfortable transition between the water and the surrounding surface. Coping can also be made from porcelain, so you can coordinate the two for a consistent look.

Our outdoor porcelain range has a textured, R11-rated finish to help provide grip in wet areas. No surface is completely slip-proof, so choosing the right product, allowing for drainage and keeping the area clean all matter. We’ll help you check the suitability of your chosen tile for your pool surrounds.

Porcelain is durable and easy to care for. Regular sweeping and a wash with warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner will usually keep it looking its best. Clean up spills promptly and rinse away any cleaning residue. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners. Porcelain tiles generally do not require sealing.
