Pool copings: which material and which slip rating?

Brushed travertine or stone-effect porcelain, with a slip rating of R11 at least. The edges must be softened (5 mm radius) to keep bare feet safe.

Premium terrace & pool tiles.

Q: Which pool-surround tiles are resistant to salt?

All technical porcelain is naturally resistant to salt. Natural stone (travertine, limestone) is treated against salt before laying.

For terraces and pool surrounds in Morocco, slip resistance and UV stability are essential. Amarchy selects R11 porcelain and natural stone finished to withstand salt, chlorine and constant use, in the Mediterranean and Atlantic climates alike.

01 — Terraces, surrounds, copings

What matters around water.

Pool surrounds, copings and terraces: around a pool, you walk barefoot on a wet floor, in full sun. The material has to grip without hurting, stay cool underfoot and keep its colour.

Brushed travertine and bush-hammered natural stone meet these demands; technical porcelain adds a natural resistance to salt. The copings are laid in the same stone as the surround, so the whole reads as one piece.

Slip resistance

R11 at least on surrounds and copings, where people walk barefoot.
