- maintenance
Producing Curved Coping from Unverified Radii
Incorrect radii may create:
- Uneven joints
- misalignment
- excessive site cutting
- installation delays
Using One Thickness for Every Application
Thickness should reflect dimensions, support, loading and installation.
Ignoring Surface Temperature
Light stone may still become hot under strong sunlight.
Assuming a Textured Finish Is Automatically Non-Slip
Actual performance should be evaluated according to the project requirement.
Ignoring Pool Chemistry
Poor water balance may affect limestone, joints and sealers.
Using Acid to Remove Pool Scale
Acidic cleaners may etch limestone.
Ignoring Drainage
Standing water contributes to stains, algae, salts and freeze damage.
Installing with Voids
Voids may collect water and create local stress.
Bridging Movement Joints
The pool shell and deck may move independently.
Sealing Damp Stone
This may trap moisture and create dark patches.
Failing to Order Spare Material
Future quarry blocks may not match the original project exactly.
