Medinaceli Pool Coping - Minimalist L-Shaped Design
Medinaceli Pool Coping: an L-profile that hides what the build left crooked
On a fibreglass pool or a renovated shell, the join between the edge and the paving is almost never clean. The Medinaceli coping has a 6 cm L-shaped skirt that drops down the outer face of the pool shell and hides those imperfections with no need to build up or chase anything out.
✅ Key advantages
6 cm L-profile: the skirt covers the pool shell's edge and disguises leans, burrs and badly cut liner trims.
Minimalist line: a straight edge and a smooth, plain surface, with no relief or imitation texture, for contemporary projects.
Compatible with fibreglass pools: designed for prefabricated shells, where the edge won't take a conventional bearing coping.
Slip-resistant, USRV 46, class 3: despite the smooth finish, it keeps the class required in wet outdoor areas.
14 kg per piece: comfortable to handle, even in the long 60 cm format.
Two neutral tones: white and pirineos, which don't compete with the colour of the water.
🏗️ Recommended applications
Capping fibreglass pools and prefabricated shells.
Renovating pool edges with a damaged outer face.
Renovating terraces and outdoor patios with a water feature.
Contemporary-design pools with a straight line and smooth finish.
Capping ornamental ponds with an exposed edge.

🧰 Installation
Check the actual thickness of the pool shell's edge: the 6 cm skirt has to hang free, with no contact, or the piece won't sit flat.
Chase off any resin or mortar burrs on the outer face before laying the first piece.
Bed with a C2 cement-based adhesive rated for outdoor and immersion use, double-buttered, also bonding the inner face of the skirt.
Keep a 1.5-2% fall towards the outside along the whole perimeter.
Leave a 3-5 mm joint between pieces and an elastic expansion joint every 4-5 m and at the corners.
Seal the lower line of the skirt with polyurethane so water can't get in behind it.

💡 Professional tip: the L-shaped skirt is both this piece's strength and its trap. Before buying, measure the pool shell's edge thickness at several points: if any stretch exceeds what the skirt clears, the piece will end up bearing on the skirt instead of the crown and will sound hollow. Bond the inner face of the skirt too, not just the base: if it's left hollow, water gets in there, freezes in winter and pops the 3 cm edge. And seal the lower line with polyurethane, because water that gets in behind the skirt has nowhere to drain and ends up pushing the coping off. Remember this isn't a paving slab: it works wet, in overhang and with a thin edge, so neither the adhesive nor the expansion joint are optional.
Frequently Asked Questions
¿Para qué sirve el faldón en L de 6 cm?
Baja por la cara exterior del vaso y oculta desplomes, rebabas y remates de liner mal cortados, sin tener que recrecer ni repicar el borde.
¿Vale para una piscina de poliéster?
Sí, es uno de sus usos principales: en los vasos prefabricados el borde no admite un remate apoyado convencional y el perfil en L lo resuelve.
¿Qué hay que medir antes de comprar?
El espesor del canto del vaso en varios puntos. Si en algún tramo supera lo que deja libre el faldón, la pieza apoyará en el faldón y sonará a hueco.
¿Hay que encolar el faldón?
Sí, también por su cara interior. Si queda hueco, entra agua, hiela en invierno y salta el canto de 3 cm.
¿Es resbaladizo por ser liso?
No. Pese al acabado suave mantiene USRV 46, clase 3, la clasificación exigida en superficies exteriores mojadas.
¿Qué adhesivo hay que usar?
Cemento cola C2 apto para exterior e inmersión, en doble encolado.
¿Hay que sellar por debajo del faldón?
Sí, con poliuretano. El agua que se cuela por detrás no tiene salida y acaba desprendiendo el remate por presión.
¿Cuántas piezas trae el palet?
55 unidades del formato de 60 cm, con 770 kg de peso total.
