Coping and Paving Stones - The Natural Alternative

Natural stone will enhance your project aesthetically while providing high performance and low maintenance. Natural stone offers permanence and elegance to modern construction, just as it has throughout the ages. The Pool Tile Company offers a broad range of natural stone to be used as paving stones and coping such as granite tiles, quartzite, travertine tiles, Himalayan quartz, marble and limestone. These stones are very durable and will stand the test of time. They are suitable to be used around swimming pools and for general outdoor paving.

The natural stone products offered by the Pool Tile Company are very affordable. The lowest cost is Himalayan quartz in a 'Natural' finish. Our granite tiles, quartzite, limestone and travertine tiles are mid price range. Marble is often the most expensive. By choosing natural paving stones you will be adding value to your project well in excess of its cost.

The choice of which natural stone to use normally comes down to an aesthetic decision. Clients who prefer colour variation in natural stone usually like 'Natural' Himalayan quartz, quartzite and travertine. Clients who prefer a more uniform colour usually like granite tiles, or 'Honed' Himalayan quartz. Another important factor influencing the choice of natural paving stones is the colour scheme for the project. For example, if you plan to utilize grey tones for your paving, the choice could be narrowed down further to silver travertine, silver marble or granite tiles. Alternatively, if you favour warmer tones, your choice would be between Himalayan quartz, quartzite, limestone, travertine and almond granite.

Most of the paving stones we offer are available in a range of tile sizes and coping options. For example, most coping is available in traditional bullnose profiles as well as square edge profiles for more modern settings. Custom sizes can be ordered to suit individual requirements. We also import stone grate, wall capping, wall cladding, cobbles and garden edging. You can be sure to find a suitable choice for your project.
