If you’re renovating or building your pool, coping is a cornerstone of your considerations! It is your pool’s backbone, supporting your investment in the structure, safety and style of your outdoor retreat. However, common problems with traditional coping materials include fading, cracking, staining, maintenance, and cost. That’s where Banas Porcelain Coping shines as the clear, more durable choice.
In this blog post, we dive into the common issues homeowners encounter with pool coping and why porcelain has become the popular choice for today’s luxury pools.
Common Pool Coping Issues (And Their Causes)
Fading and Discoloration: Limestone or concrete are natural materials that can fade over time in the sun and from pool chemicals. The surface can lighten over time from UV rays, making your pool area look tired and patchy.
Cracks and Surface Damage: Old-fashioned stone coping can fracture due to winter freeze-thaw cycles, settling, or rapid temperature changes. Not only do these cracks appear ugly, but they can also be dangerous.
Water Absorption and Staining: High-porosity materials absorb water, which can lead to mineral, salt, or pool-chemical stains. Prolonged exposure to moisture also allows mould and algae to grow.
Slippery Surfaces: Slippery pool sides are accidents waiting to happen. Some coping choices get slippery when wet and can easily cause a fall.
High Maintenance Requirements: Fortunately, not – sealant or resealing, scrubbing, and chemical treatments are almost always necessary to ensure natural stone coping maintains or gains its beauty. Both can become costly and time-consuming over the years.
Why Porcelain Coping Is a Reliable, High-Performance Solution
In recent years, porcelain has quickly emerged as the go-to coping material for luxury pools—and for good reason. Banas Porcelain Coping is designed to overcome the common issues with other materials and provide unparalleled style and strength.

Fade & UV Resistance: Porcelain is also fade-resistant and does not degrade in the sun. It won’t lose its colour, no discoloration or fading pool deck paving – keeping your outdoor oasis looking new, year after year.
