Pool coping is the edging material that surrounds the pool, providing both a finished look and practical protection for the pool structure. It is available in various styles, with drop edge coping being a popular choice for a sleek, thick-stone appearance, offering durability and a sophisticated finish.

When it comes to creating a stunning and functional poolside oasis, the details matter. One of the most impactful elements of your pool's design is the coping, and at Artisan Exterior, we believe that drop edge coping is the ultimate choice for most pool settings. Not only does it enhance the visual appeal of your pool area, but it also offers a multitude of practical benefits. Let’s explore why drop edge coping, particularly our single piece, drop edges, stands out as the ideal option for your pool.

From a financial perspective, drop edge coping enhances the value of your home, particularly when paired with a swimming pool. Its enduring beauty and quality will appreciate over time, making it a wise investment for your property.

Additionally, single-piece drop edges provide far more benefits than their laminated counterparts, yet are priced the same, offering greater value for money while delivering superior durability and aesthetic appeal.

At Artisan Exterior, we offer a variety of drop edge coping profiles to suit different pool designs. Our drop edge coping is available in two styles: single-piece rebate and mitred (laminated) rebate. We stock these one-piece rebate options for most of our natural stone pavers in two sizes (800x400x20 and 600x400x30 as standard), tailored to fit our stock paver and tile dimensions, and are generally readily available in our warehouses, for quick turnaround. Our mitred rebates are crafted from existing stock, this allows for full customisation, enabling you to specify dimensions and drop edge returns (40mm – 200mm) that best suits your design requirements. Both single piece and mitred rebates are ideal for creating a bold and sophisticated edge around your pool, with the mitred rebate providing a refined, seamless finish.

In addition to drop edges, we also offer a range of other profiles for pool coping. A pool coping profile refers to the specific shape or finish of the vertical edge of the paver or tile surrounding the pool. These include:

• Pencil Rounds (Available on Natural Stone and Porcelain Pavers) - A more contemporary approach producing a square edge look while still maintaining a smaller radius for a clean, modern aesthetic. With the pencil edge profile, the smaller radius edge provides comfort for leaning and sitting on the edge, instead of having a raw edge under your legs.
• Bullnose (Available on Natural Stone and Porcelain Pavers) – A classic option ideal for federation homes and pools, bullnose coping offers a timeless, rounded edge that complements traditional designs.
• Contemporary Bullnose (Available on Porcelain Pavers) – A variation on the classic bullnose option, designed by Artisan Exterior. The contemporary bullnose maintains the classic, rounded, streamlined appeal of the standard bullnose but with a more compact profile with less radius than a traditional bullnose, adding a contemporary touch to the rounded profile.

Whether you choose the striking single-piece drop edge, the sleek mitred rebate drop edge, or the smoother, rounded finishes of bullnose options and pencil round, we have a profile to suit every pool design.
