With the traditional look of old French stones and a wide range of styles, Caraterra paving is full of character and atmosphere. An attractive and authentic looking addition to any environment. The Sahara line, with it's classical clean looks is the most comprehensive and popular range. There are many curves and angles to choose from, to suit every project. See below for full details of individual stones.
In a special manufacturing process, fine bubbles of air are passed through the reconstituted stone mixture. Once hard, these bubbles create a lovely "bubble aspect" feature plus a modicum of improved slip resistance.
Copings are laid with the rounded bullnose next to the pool and the back adjacent to paving etc. To follow a circle or D-shaped roman end you use normal curves with the rounded bullnose pointing inwards.
Reverse curves are only used around parts of the pool which curve towards the water. Looked at from the bullnose side, the middle is nearer to you than the sides.
