SeraPool Olympic Porcelain Cove & Bullnose Trims are porcelain finishing pieces that round off the inside (cove) and outside (bullnose) edges of pool walls, floors, steps and benches, with matching corner and base pieces. It is part of the SeraPool Olympic™ Commercial & Competition Pool Collection, a complete porcelain system of edge tiles, deck tiles, depth markers, pool tile, mosaics, overflow channels and gutter grates for commercial and competition pools.
Cove pieces remove sharp internal angles where the floor meets the wall, making the pool easier to clean and safer underfoot; bullnose pieces soften external edges on steps and benches.
