Choosing the wrong coping size costs more than you'd think. 📏

Curved or freeform pool? Smaller pieces (6x12, 12x24) mean less cutting and waste. Straight, geometric pool? Larger formats (16x48, 24x48) mean fewer joints and a cleaner finished look.

We put together a full sizing guide by pool shape, so you know what to order before you start pricing installers.

Saw a porcelain paver you loved at the supply store — Beton Grey, Livingstyle Beige, Coralina Ivory, Pietra Di Vals — and the branch can't get it?

Porcelain is printed, so no two factories make the exact same design. But the looks are standard: concrete-look gray, travertine-look silver, limestone-look beige. We've grouped the names you'll see on distributor shelves by look and matched each to the closest Stonorama porcelain paver. Same 3/4" thickness, same 24x24 and 24x48 sizes, sold by the pallet and delivered.

Order a sample and set it next to what you were shown — porcelain reads darker wet than dry.

Picked out Tuscany Ivory, Atlantic Blue or Diana Royal for your pool deck — and now the store can't get it?

Most of the travertine and marble sold for pool decks in the US comes out of the same quarry regions in Turkey. Different distributors just give the stone different names. Our new cross-reference page lists the names you'll see at big-box stores and supply yards next to the Stonorama stone that's the close match, so you can keep the look you chose and buy it by the pallet, quarry-direct, delivered to your driveway.

Order a sample of our color first — natural stone varies lot to lot no matter who sells it — then get a delivered quote.

Choosing your pool coping color? It's not just about matching your deck. 🏊

Dark coping runs hotter underfoot in direct sun. Light coping shows water spots faster. Warm tones like Walnut hide everyday dirt between cleanings.

We broke down all of it — Ivory, Silver, Walnut, and more — plus a simple guide for matching coping color to your deck style.
