View full detailsChoosing Travertine Pool Coping
Pool coping is the capstone that sits on top of the pool wall and defines the transition between the pool edge and the surrounding deck. Travertine is one of the most popular coping materials because it combines natural beauty with practical performance - it stays cool in the sun, resists slipping when wet, and weathers gracefully over time.
Coping Profiles
The profile (edge shape) you choose depends on your pool design and aesthetic preference. Bullnose coping features a rounded front edge that provides a smooth, comfortable grip for swimmers and a finished appearance. Square edge (also called straight edge) coping has a clean, modern look that works well with contemporary pool designs. Drop-face coping has a finished front face that hangs down over the pool wall, concealing the waterline tile for a cleaner look. All profiles are available in tumbled and honed finishes.
Finishes for Pool Areas
Tumbled travertine coping is the most popular finish for pools. The softened edges and textured surface provide natural slip resistance and a classic, aged appearance that complements outdoor settings. Honed coping offers a smoother, more refined look but still provides adequate traction around water. Avoid polished travertine for pool coping - the glossy surface becomes dangerously slippery when wet.
Colors and Coordination
Travertine pool coping is available in the same color range as travertine pavers - ivory, cream, noce (walnut), and silver. Selecting matching coping and deck pavers from the same travertine variety creates a unified, cohesive pool area. For contrast, some designers pair light travertine coping with a darker deck or vice versa. Natural stone pool coping in travertine coordinates with any landscape style.
Sizes and Installation
Standard travertine coping pieces are typically 12x24 or 16x24 with a finished thickness of 2 inches. They are mortared onto the pool beam (bond beam) with the finished edge overhanging the pool wall by approximately 1 to 1.5 inches. Proper installation includes a slight slope away from the pool for drainage and flexible caulk joints at the expansion joint between the coping and the deck pavers.
Is travertine pool coping slippery when wet?
Tumbled travertine pool coping provides excellent slip resistance, even when wet. The tumbled finish creates a naturally textured surface with micro-grip that prevents slipping. Honed travertine also offers adequate traction for pool areas. Only polished travertine should be avoided around pools, as its glossy surface becomes slick when wet.
Does travertine pool coping get hot?
Travertine pool coping stays noticeably cooler than concrete, brick, or dark stone coping in direct sunlight. While the coping edge is the spot swimmers grip when entering or exiting the pool, the natural coolness of travertine ensures a comfortable surface even on the hottest summer days. Light-colored varieties like ivory and silver stay the coolest.
What is the difference between bullnose and drop-face pool coping?
Bullnose coping has a rounded front edge and sits flush with the pool wall - it provides a smooth, comfortable grip and a traditional look. Drop-face coping has a straight finished face that hangs down several inches over the pool wall, concealing the waterline tile and creating a more modern, clean-edged appearance. Both profiles work well with travertine; the choice is primarily aesthetic.
