All areas of construction must live up to Classic Reflections high standards!  Only the highest grade of materials with a minimum thickness of 2” is acceptable for us.  While other pool builders may install coping which varies greatly in thickness, you will find that ours is beautifully consistent.  The mortar joints are typically sawn at about 3/8”.  We think you should see the coping, not a lot of mortar.  Details, details, details! 

There are many choices of coping.  We have a large selection to choose from.  You may come to the office to decide on which color of brick, or maybe one of the beautiful slates or flagstones would suit you better.  

Classic Reflections uses a special method of installation to avoid the problem of the coping separating from the deck or beam of the pool.  The back of the bond beam is notched, to allow a place for the deck to set and a 1/2” (as opposed to other builders ¼” or 3/8”) foam expansion joint is placed between the deck and the coping.   This expansion joint is capped with a waterproof epoxy (your choice of color) and acts to isolate the coping from potentially damaging deck movement.
