Pool coping material temperature comparison.

[PearlJamFan]

I am in the midst of a new pool install in Las Vegas, NV. This time of the year the temps run 105-112 on average and the ground can be very hot and you can barely walk on the ground with no shoes on. That being said, I wanted a coping/paver material that would be cool enough to walk on in the dead of day sun. After a bunch of research I ended up with Marbella Shellstone. Now this does cost extra, but it looks amazing and is the coolest material of all the ones I tested. When the photos were taken it was 2:20pm and the ambient temp was 107 degrees.

Nice to meet you via TFP

This is an excellent demonstration of those differences. We're happy with our limestone for this same reason. Thanks!
