I'm not an expert, but we have renovated a pool and made 1 big mistake. We had similar coping that formed a big hob all the way around (unlike yours). We leveled it out with paving (and then coated the pebblecrete with an epoxy sandstone-look product). The mistake? Part of the yard sloped down to the pool. Every time it rained.....all the sand, dirt and debris from down the side of my house and around the pool went straight into the pool. If we had our time over- we'd leave a small hob around the side of the pool where the land sloped down. Yours looks like it is on the downside of your house with some garden. The hob might be there for a reason.....as we learned.

Hi Chris, The Jolly edge will look the best if you are using Porcelain Tiles. If your Mitred Jolly edges are cut and grouted properly you should not have a problem with chipping. Your tiler can cut all the mitres on the factory edge and set their saw so it preserves a small amount of that edge so to avoiding a sharp point (which otherwise is vulnerable to chipping). If you can't find a tiler with a diamond saw machine like a Hasqvarna with sliding overhead arm, which can do your Mitre cuts, then you could try marking out all your cuts and take these tiles to a stone mason (granite fabricator) near you and ask them to do these cuts for you. A stonemason experienced in fabricating large sheet Porcelain tops such as Neolith or Quantum+6 would also be a good place to start as these will know how to treat your tiles. Hope this is of help. Regards, Malcolm

Splad edge pool doesn’t come up even with google. Could it be something else, like a splash edge, or infinity edge you’re after?

Hi, I had my kitchen renovated and chose a calacatta oro/gold subway tile for my counter to ceiling feature wall. The assistant tiler applied 3 coats of Aquaseal Gold+, after drying, he applied the Mapei Ultracolor Plus 103 Moon white grout, then cleaned it up with hot water. Normally, it would just be 2 coats of sealant, but I was so upset that day because his boss, the main tiler, insisted to use a Aquaseal Gold+ which he reckons as superior instead of using what I requested (Lithofin MN Stain-Stop). To calm me down, the assistant tiler did 3 coats. The main tiler wasn't around to supervise the assistant tiler due to other commitments. Anyway, after the grout had dried, I noticed that some of the tiles have this thick grey outline. It's not for every tile though. Due to this, it made the grout line thicker than it really is. It's been 3 weeks since the tiling job was completed. Any thoughts what happened here and can this still be remediated w/o tearing down the tiles? Here are two photos - the 1st one with thick border and 2nd one with very subtle/thin border.
