Client Background
A client approached Stoneworld alongside their pool architect/designer, seeking a unique, high-end solution for their pool area. They visited our showroom for a comprehensive consultation, bringing samples to align the design with their vision.
Design Process
We collaborated closely with the client and their architect to create a bespoke deck-level coping system tailored to their needs. A specific request for tighter slot spacing required engineering a specialized support system, ensuring stone stability and longevity.
Key steps in the design process included:
On-site templating to achieve accuracy and smooth integration.
Collaboration with the pool company and tilers to ensure every detail was executed flawlessly.
Materials Used
The project showcased the beauty and versatility of Stoneworld’s premium products, featuring:
- White Mint Honed Sandstone: Used for the pool’s interior and exterior flooring and deck-level coping.
- Bespoke radius bullnosed step treads: Crafted for pool steps and seating.
- 3-Part Coping System: Including rebated front and back pieces designed to hold the slotted channel cover, reinforced with a stainless steel plate for added strength.
- Marble-effect porcelain on walls: While not supplied by Stoneworld, explore our large-format porcelain range for similar stunning options.
