Thin Pavers for Pool Decks
Thin brick pavers are the ideal solution for remodeling an existing pool
deck. They are installed on top of a small layer of sand which helps to
keep the pavers from cracking when the deck beneath settles. The edge of
the pool is typically lined with a bullnose coping stone to provide a
smooth and safe edge. Since this pool is a remodel, the coping is a remodel
style coping which means it is produced specifically to refurbish the edge
of an existing pool deck. The coping is cemented to the deck beneath and
grouted. A quality coping job will have consistent grout joint widths which
requires cutting every edge of each coping stone around curves and corners.
This is demonstrated well with the picture below of the coping surrounding
the hot tub. The pavers used on this deck are from Oldcastle Coastal. The
shape is Apian Combo and the color is Abacoa.
