Dover White 9˝ Straight Coping – 200 x 600 x 40mm

The Foundation of Professional Pool Design

When creating the perfect pool surround, straight coping stones form the backbone of your installation. The Dover White 9˝ straight coping represents the industry standard for quality pool edging, combining the natural beauty of sandstone with precision engineering for exceptional results. These straight sections work seamlessly with corner pieces and Roman end sets to create a cohesive, professional finish around your entire pool perimeter.

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. Each straight piece measures precisely 200 x 600 x 40mm, providing consistent dimensions that ensure perfect alignment and professional installation results.

Why Choose Dover White Straight Coping?

Premium Natural Sandstone Construction

Available exclusively from Certikin, Dover White coping stones are made from sandstone and are both functional and modern looking. Unlike concrete alternatives, natural sandstone offers superior longevity and develops a beautiful patina over time. The material’s inherent strength and weather resistance make it an excellent long-term investment for pool installations.

Precision Manufacturing Excellence

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 eliminates the irregularities common in cast concrete copings, resulting in perfect alignment between pieces, reduced installation time for contractors, minimal gaps that could collect debris, and professional appearance with clean, straight lines.

Advanced Safety Features

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. This unique combination provides the ideal balance between comfort and safety around your pool area.

Technical Performance Benefits

Heat Resistance Properties

The natural thermal properties of sandstone prevent the surface from becoming uncomfortably hot, even in direct sunlight, providing comfort for bare feet during hot summer days.

Weather Durability

Dover White sandstone is specifically selected and treated for pool applications, providing excellent weather resistance when properly sealed against the elements.

Chemical Resistance

The material withstands exposure to chlorine and other pool chemicals without degradation, maintaining its integrity over years of pool use.

Essential Sealing Protocol

Critical Protection Requirements

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 not optional—it’s essential for long-term performance and appearance.

Comprehensive Protection 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. The sealing process creates an invisible barrier that prevents water staining from pool chemicals and minerals, blocks oil penetration from sunscreen and body oils, resists dirt accumulation in the stone’s natural pores, and maintains color consistency across the entire installation.

Dimensional Specifications and Applications

Standard Pool Integration

The 200mm width (9˝) represents the industry standard for residential pool coping, providing optimal proportions for most pool designs. The 600mm length allows for efficient installation while maintaining manageable piece sizes for handling and transportation.

Thickness Considerations

At 40mm thickness, these coping stones provide sufficient structural strength for pool edge applications, proper proportions relative to the width, compatibility with standard pool construction details, and cost efficiency without compromising quality.

Quality Assurance and Natural Variation

Natural Stone Characteristics

Dover White coping stones are made from natural stone therefore there will be variations in colour and texture. This natural variation is a feature, not a flaw—it ensures that each installation has unique character while maintaining overall consistency.

Compatibility Verification

To ensure that Dover White copings will be a suitable replacement, please check the dimensions of existing copings and compare with those shown above before ordering. This is particularly important for refurbishment projects where existing dimensions must be matched.

Professional Installation Requirements

Sealing Responsibility

It is important the copings are sealed when they are first laid using the recommended product. This emphasizes the critical importance of proper sealing during installation for optimal performance and longevity.

System Integration

These straight pieces integrate seamlessly with Dover White corner pieces for 90-degree transitions, Roman end sets for curved pool terminations, standard pool construction methods and materials, and various decking materials and finishes.
