Dover White 9˝ Roman End Set for 4ft Radius
Transform Your Pool with Elegant Curved Perfection
When you’re creating the perfect finish for a Roman-style pool or any curved pool design, the right coping makes all the difference. The Dover White range is specifically designed to replace traditional 9″ and 12″ concrete pre-cast coping stones making them the ideal choice for refurbishments as well as newly constructed pools. This 9-inch Roman end set for 4ft radius provides the sophisticated curved finishing touch that transforms an ordinary pool edge into an elegant architectural feature.
Roman end sets are essential components for pools featuring curved corners or Roman-style designs. The curved ends often feature steps leading into the pool, benches for people to sit on, or fountains to add visual interest to the pool, and proper coping ensures both safety and visual appeal at these critical transition points.
Why Choose Dover White Sandstone Coping?
Premium Natural Material
Dover White coping stones are made from sandstone and are both functional and modern looking. Unlike concrete alternatives, natural sandstone offers superior durability and a timeless aesthetic that enhances any pool environment. The unique color variations and textures create a welcoming atmosphere, ensuring each installation has its own distinctive character.
Precision Engineering for Easy Installation
They are sawn on all six sides ensuring a flat surface all round making them easy to lay as well as preventing the collection of water and dirt on the surface. This precision manufacturing means cleaner lines, easier installation, and better long-term performance compared to traditional cast concrete copings.
Safety-First Design
The surface of each stone is also honed to give a smooth finish however the natural suction of the pores in the stone make it slip resistant – a necessity for pool surrounds. The variety of finishes ensures safety alongside beauty, providing the perfect balance between comfort and security around your pool.
The Importance of Roman End Sets
Curved Pool Applications
Roman end sets are specifically designed for pools with curved sections, particularly those with 4ft radius curves. Roman swimming pools look like a rectangle with a small semicircle affixed to each of the narrow ends of the pool, and these specialized coping pieces ensure proper finishing at these curved transitions.
Professional Finish
Coping stones for swimming pools with Roman ends are stocked as standard in 4′, 5′ and 5′ low profile variations. The 4ft radius option provides the perfect curvature for most residential pool applications, creating smooth, elegant transitions that enhance both safety and aesthetics.
Structural Benefits
Coping plays an important role on several fronts… maintains the pool’s structural integrity, boosts swimmer safety and comfort, and enhances a pool’s visual appeal. Roman end sets specifically address the unique challenges of curved pool edges, providing proper water drainage and structural support at these critical junctions.
Technical Excellence
Heat Resistance and Comfort
It provides a durable, heat-resistant surface that is perfect for hot summer days, ensuring comfort and safety for bare feet. This makes Dover White an excellent choice for pool areas that experience intense sun exposure.
Weather Durability
The coping stones are designed to withstand outdoor elements, ensuring longevity and maintaining their beauty over time. The natural properties of sandstone make it resistant to freeze-thaw cycles and chemical exposure from pool treatments.
Maintenance Advantages
Sandstone pool coping also offers practical benefits, such as easy maintenance and resistance to slipping, making it an excellent long-term investment for pool owners.
Essential Sealing Requirements
Protective Treatment Necessary
Dover White is a very porous material therefore we highly recommend the application of RPB Patio Sealer to ensure it maintains its beautiful finish. Proper sealing is crucial for maintaining the stone’s appearance and preventing staining.
Sealer Benefits
By applying this product, it will provide a protective repellent layer to stop staining of the stone from water or oil-based dirt as well as other grime. Apply several saturation coats of the sealant until the stone is fully sealed. You can tell the stone is sealed with a water test.
