Natural stone gives pool character

With organic curves or wonderfully sleek oblongs: whatever the pool looks like, natural stone is a guarantee of a stylish look. Border stones in granite or bluestone take the pool project to the next level. E.L.S. Garden supplies customized natural stone products, including finishing materials, such as special silicones.

As a wholesaler of garden equipment, E.L.S. Garden offers a wide range of supplies for any garden project. Over the years, the company has also developed a range for swimming pool builders. The total experience of a garden increasingly includes a swimming pool and E.L.S. Garden is evolving with the market demand. 

"We want to give the craftsman all the materials and accessories to do his projects qualitatively, and that includes pool edging," says Els Meynen of E.L.S. Garden. "As customers are used to from us, we also choose high-quality materials here. For pools and swimming ponds, there is a wide range of granite. Bluestone is also possible, but given its fragile nature it is less suitable. Sometimes it can be used as coping stone. The charming appearance of this type of stone is therefore very popular."

Flat or with overhanging nose

Every swimming pool project is different. So to literally provide you as a professional with the right building blocks requires a wide range of products. At E.L.S. Garden, you can choose from a wide range of granite coping stones. 

"That volcanic rock is exceptionally resistant to chemicals, among other things, making it ideal for use in and around swimming pools. The coping stones sometimes have an overhanging nose - five inches as opposed to three inches on the tile - or are flat."

The tiles, in granite or bluestone, are standard 35 centimeters deep. They are also available in 60 by 40, 60 by 60, or 80 by 80 centimeters. Those large format tiles are doing particularly well these days, in line with the general trend. 

In addition, E.L.S. Garden has stair elements for pools and swimming ponds. These fixed building blocks are always 28 by 78 centimeters and allow you to quickly and easily construct a stylish swimming pool staircase. Solutions are also provided for a boarding staircase, corner staircase or plage.

High-quality workmanship on every level

Anyone investing in their own pool wants everything to be right down to the last detail. And that starts with the choice of construction and finishing materials. If you buy coping stones at E.L.S. Garden, you can be sure of a top product to start with. The granite is burned and brushed. This creates a rough structure on which the pool user will not slip. For example, with a honed nose, to prevent abrasions when the swimmer's body hits the pool edge or stairs.

"To finish a pool project to perfection, you naturally have to choose high-quality materials for the finish as well," Els Meynen emphasizes. "With us, the professional will also find special silicones to seal the tiling with. This is how we put our total vision into practice. Garden contractor or specialized pool builder: we are happy to help you with quality products for any project."
