Dover White 12˝ Roman End Set for 5ft Radius Low Profile
Contemporary Elegance with Streamlined Design
The low profile Roman end set represents the perfect fusion of classical Roman pool design with contemporary aesthetic preferences. The Dover White 12˝ Roman end set for 5ft radius low profile delivers all the sophisticated curved termination benefits of traditional Roman ends while offering a more streamlined, modern appearance that suits today’s architectural trends.
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 low profile variant maintains the generous 5ft radius curvature while presenting a more subtle, contemporary profile that integrates seamlessly with modern landscape designs.
Understanding Low Profile Design
Contemporary Aesthetic Appeal
The low profile design reduces the visual bulk of traditional coping while maintaining all functional benefits. This streamlined approach creates a more minimalist appearance that complements contemporary architecture and modern landscape design principles.
Enhanced Visual Flow
Low profile coping creates smoother visual transitions between the pool surface and surrounding deck areas. This design approach emphasizes the water surface while reducing the visual interruption created by more prominent coping profiles.
Modern Integration
Contemporary pool designs often emphasize clean lines and uninterrupted surfaces. The low profile design supports these aesthetic goals while providing the essential functional benefits of proper pool coping.
5ft Radius with Refined Proportions
Generous Curvature Maintained
Despite the reduced profile, this Roman end set maintains the full 5ft radius curvature that creates the characteristic flowing transitions from straight pool sides to elegant curved terminations. The large radius ensures proper proportional relationships for substantial pool installations.
Balanced Design Elements
The low profile treatment ensures the reduced height doesn’t compromise the visual impact of the generous 5ft radius curves. The proportional balance between width, radius, and height creates harmonious design relationships throughout the installation.
Functional Space Preservation
The 12˝ width maintains generous surface area for seating, entry, and exit functions while the low profile creates a more streamlined appearance. This combination provides practical benefits without visual bulk.
Advanced Manufacturing Specifications
Precision Low Profile Geometry
Creating low profile Roman end sets requires sophisticated manufacturing techniques to maintain structural integrity while reducing material thickness. The precision manufacturing ensures consistent profile height throughout the curved set.
Made-to-Order Excellence
Roman end kits are made to order and have a 2 week lead time. This bespoke manufacturing approach is particularly important for low profile sets where precise dimensions are critical for achieving the desired contemporary appearance.
Quality Control Standards
The made-to-order process enables enhanced quality control for these specialized pieces, ensuring each component meets the exacting standards required for low profile applications where any irregularities would be immediately apparent.
Superior Sandstone Construction
Natural Material Benefits
Available exclusively from Certikin, Dover White coping stones are made from sandstone and are both functional and modern looking. The natural beauty of sandstone is particularly enhanced in low profile applications where the material’s inherent texture and color become more prominent design elements.
Precision Manufacturing Standards
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 is crucial for low profile pieces where any manufacturing irregularities would compromise the streamlined appearance.
Optimal Surface Treatment
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 surface treatment is particularly important in low profile applications where the reduced height places the surface closer to water level.
Contemporary Design Applications
Modern Architectural Integration
Low profile Roman end sets complement contemporary home designs where traditional coping profiles might appear visually heavy or outdated. The streamlined profile supports modern aesthetic principles while maintaining classical proportional relationships.
Infinity Pool Integration
The low profile design is particularly suitable for pools with infinity edges or other contemporary water features where minimal visual interruption is desired. The reduced profile supports the illusion of continuous water surfaces.
Landscape Design Harmony
Contemporary landscape designs often emphasize horizontal lines and minimal vertical elements. Low profile coping supports these design principles while providing essential functional benefits.
Technical Performance Characteristics
Structural Integrity
Despite the reduced profile, these Roman end sets maintain full structural capabilities required for pool edge applications. The precision manufacturing ensures adequate strength and durability for long-term performance.
Water Management
The low profile design maintains proper water drainage characteristics while presenting a more streamlined appearance. Careful attention to drainage angles ensures effective water management despite the reduced height.
Installation Efficiency
The reduced profile can simplify certain aspects of installation while requiring greater precision in others. Professional installation ensures optimal results and long-term performance.
Sealing and Protection Requirements
Enhanced Sealing Protocol
Dover White is a very porous material therefore we highly recommend the application of RPB Patio Sealer to ensure it maintains its beautiful finish. Low profile pieces require particular attention during sealing as their reduced height may expose more surface area to water contact.
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. Proper sealing is especially important for low profile pieces where staining would be more noticeable due to the prominence of the horizontal surface.
Long-term Maintenance Considerations
Low profile installations may require more frequent inspection and maintenance due to their closer proximity to water level. Proper initial sealing significantly reduces long-term maintenance requirements.
Quality Standards and Installation
Natural Stone Characteristics
Dover White coping stones are made from natural stone therefore there will be variations in colour and texture. These natural variations contribute to the authentic character that enhances the contemporary aesthetic of low profile installations.
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 verification is particularly important for low profile Roman end sets where precise height relationships are critical.
Professional Installation Requirements
It is important the copings are sealed when they are first laid using the recommended product. Low profile Roman end sets require special attention during installation to ensure proper alignment and height relationships with adjacent coping sections.
