Jávea Pool Coping - Decorative Finish With Roman Steps Solution
Jávea Pool Coping: decorative crown with a solution for Roman steps
Roman-style steps are usually where a pool coping looks worst: you need to wrap a curved front and wide steps with pieces that aren't meant for it. The Jávea range includes pieces made specifically for Roman steps, plus inner and outer corner pieces, so the whole pool, steps included, is finished with factory-made material.
✅ Key advantages
Roman-steps solution: the range includes the pieces needed to wrap the entry steps with no improvised cutting.
Inner and outer corner pieces: the pool's corners are closed with manufactured pieces.
9.5 kg per piece: light enough for one worker to lay the whole perimeter alone.
Three colours: white, champagne and pirineos, to suit light, warm or grey paving.
Slip-resistant, USRV 46, class 3: the level required on wet outdoor surfaces.
2.5 to 3 cm edge: a discreet section that sits flush with thin paving without creating a step.

🧰 Installation
Dry-lay the whole perimeter first, starting with the Roman steps and the four corners, the areas with no room for adjustment.
Wet the pool's edge before bonding; dry concrete stops the adhesive from curing properly.
Bed with a C2 cement-based adhesive rated for outdoor and immersion use, double-buttered.
Set a 1.5-2% fall towards the outside along the whole edge.
Leave a 3-5 mm joint between pieces and an elastic expansion joint every 4-5 m and at every corner.
Point with an outdoor-rated mortar and seal the joint against the pool shell with polyurethane sealant.

💡 Professional tip: set out the Roman steps first, never last. Start laying from the steps outward and leave any leftover adjustment on a long straight run; do it the other way round and you'll end up cutting pieces in the pool's most visible area. Keep in mind this coping is only 2.5-3 cm thick: that's discreet, but it also means it won't forgive an uneven crown or an air pocket under the piece, so always double-butter and use a rubber mallet until the adhesive squeezes out. Order 10% extra material, bearing in mind corner pieces come on separate pallets and curved steps use up more pieces than the drawing suggests.
Frequently Asked Questions
¿Sirve para rematar una escalera de baño romano?
Sí. La gama contempla las piezas necesarias para rodear el frente de la escalera sin tener que improvisar cortes a radial.
¿Por dónde conviene empezar a colocar?
Por el baño romano y por las esquinas, que son las zonas sin margen de ajuste. El sobrante se reparte luego en un tramo recto largo.
¿Qué adhesivo hay que usar?
Cemento cola C2 apto para exterior e inmersión, en doble encolado. Con solo 2,5-3 cm de canto la pieza depende por completo del adhesivo.
¿Hay cantoneras para las esquinas?
Sí, ángulo interior y ángulo exterior de 40 cm, en los tres colores.
¿Es antideslizante?
USRV 46, clase 3, la clasificación exigida por el CTE DB-SUA para superficies exteriores mojadas.
¿Qué pendiente hay que dar?
Del 1,5 al 2 % hacia el exterior, para que el agua de salpicadura no vuelva al vaso con jabón y crema solar.
¿Hace falta junta de dilatación?
Sí, cada 4-5 m lineales, en cada esquina y contra la solera de la playa.
¿Cuánto material de más conviene pedir?
Un 10 %. Las escaleras curvas consumen más piezas de las que parece sobre plano y las cantoneras vienen en palets aparte.
