Description
Oasi is the thinnest and lightest coping in this batch – a flat slab designed for skimmer pools. The straight piece measures 50 × 35 cm, is only 2.5 cm thick and weighs 10 kg. The light slab is easy to carry and lay.
The idea is to combine it with Oasi tiles – the two elements have the same thickness and surface, so the transition between them is not noticeable.

How to look after it
After installation, wash it with the post-construction cleaning product and impregnate it – uncoated stone absorbs dirt. The manufacturer recommends products for stains and for refreshing the colour. Do not use a powerful water jet or aggressive chemicals on smooth surfaces, and do not spread salt against icing. Dampness on new pieces after unpacking is nothing unusual – the colour evens out in about six months.
Things to consider before ordering
The product is a mix of natural fillers and pigments, so the colour and the sandblasted look differ between batches. When the area exceeds 16 m², take pieces from the different pallets in turn. Size tolerance ± 5 mm. Efflorescence is possible – whitish, rarely brownish patches, common with cement-based materials, which disappear with time. The manufacturer replaces a defective piece only if it has not yet been laid, so inspect it beforehand.
