BORA POOL EDGE
The swimming pool and its surroundings must be a space where safety and comfort are paramount. The surrounding floor must be non-slip and walkable barefoot or with wet feet, which is why both our pool coping edgings and our ceramic drainage gratings have non-slip properties that are even more necessary in overflowing pools.
In addition, all coping edgings can be used to create pools of this type and they also all combine with our 3 exclusive ceramic drainage gratings: RJ55, RJ70 and RJ67, which are necessary in overflowing pools where we do not want the water to overflow more than necessary.
