Stone coping is a natural stone edging typically installed on the upper ends of walls, pools, fountains, stairs, and other architectural elements. This cladding piece serves both aesthetic and functional purposes, as well as protecting the underlying structure from water infiltration and other weather-related and usage damages.
It can be produced in various forms, such as straight, curved, or beveled, with finishes ranging from smooth surfaces to more rustic textures. In addition to providing a refined finishing touch to edges, stone coping offers safety, as its surfaces can be slip-resistant, making it ideal for areas exposed to water, such as pool edges, where it helps prevent accidents.
