If you are looking for natural Oklahoma stone for your pool coping, consider Oklahoma blue stone. This beautiful natural product has a rich history and is widely sought after. It also makes an excellent pool coping and patio stone.
Why Oklahoma Blue Stone?
The Look
Although it is called a blue stone, the reality is, it can have a unique palette that includes purples, greens, yellows, and reddish tones. The natural veining that the various hues traveling through the stone create the elegant charm of this Oklahoma stone.
If you are considering faux stone, keep in mind that it will lack the slight color variations that make blue stone so exceptional.
The Longevity
One of the benefits that blue stone provides is its natural strength and durability. The ever-changing Oklahoma weather is less likely to create cracks in an Oklahoma blue stone than other building materials such as cement. It also has a natural porosity that withstands damage from rain and water, making it the perfect choice to use for pools.
By installing blue stone, you can rest assured that the nature of your pool coping will withstand the test of time and keep your home looking magnificent. The purpose of pool coping is to protect as well as support the walls of your pool. Why install a pool if you need to make repairs and replacements after a short time due to poor-quality pool coping?
