PRODUCT TITLE Atlantic Blue 16" x 24" Tumbled Marble Pool Coping (1 Unit)

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Transform your pool area into a Mediterranean retreat with our Atlantic Blue Tumbled Marble Pool Coping. Characterized by its stunning blend of cool silver-blues, soft greys, and subtle white veining, Atlantic Blue is one of the most sought-after natural stones for luxury outdoor living.

The Tumbled finish provides an aged, rustic texture that is not only beautiful but serves a critical functional purpose: it creates a naturally slip-resistant surface that is comfortable and safe for bare feet. At 16" x 24", these large-format coping pieces provide a substantial, high-end perimeter for your pool, reducing the number of joints and creating a cleaner, more expansive visual flow.

DESIGN & AESTHETIC Atlantic Blue marble is prized for its "cool-touch" properties, staying significantly cooler under the summer sun than darker pavers or concrete. When dry, the stone shows soft, muted pastel tones; when wet, the deep "Atlantic" blues and charcoal veins become vivid and striking, offering two distinct and beautiful looks.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does Atlantic Blue marble get hot in the sun? One of the primary benefits of marble coping is its thermal properties. Atlantic Blue reflects a significant amount of sunlight and remains much cooler to the touch than materials like bluestone, slate, or dark concrete.

How do I maintain the color of the stone? To protect the stone from chlorine, salt, and UV rays, we recommend using a high-quality, breathable impregnating sealer. This will help prevent staining while allowing the stone to "breathe" and maintain its natural slip resistance.

Can I use this for salt-water pools? Yes. However, for salt-water systems, it is highly recommended to use a "Salt-Shield" or specific consolidator/sealer to protect the natural stone from the corrosive effects of salt over time.

What is the difference between Tumbled and Honed? Honed is smooth and flat, while Tumbled has a roughened, distressed texture with softened edges. For pool coping, Tumbled is the preferred choice for its superior slip resistance and "old-world" charm.

INSTALLATION & CARE TIPS

• Professional Install: Due to the weight and precision required for water drainage, we recommend professional installation by a stone mason.

• Color Blending: As with all natural stone, pull from multiple pallets during installation to ensure a balanced distribution of color and veining across the pool perimeter.

• Cleaning: Use a pressure washer on a low setting or a specialized stone cleaner. Avoid harsh acids or "muriatic acid" which is often used in pools but can damage the surface of natural marble.
