Jaipur Pietre

Quartzites and pools: the winning couple

August, the month of scorching sun and long, sultry days. And also, long Sundays spent sunbathing before a refreshing dip in the pool. But always in complete safety: look at the flooring or cladding of your pool decks and solariums. Are you sure it’s non-slip? And is it still as beautiful and shiny as the day it was installed?

If your answer is yes, you probably chose one of Jaipur Pietre’s split-face quartzites. If the answer is no, then you can keep reading and let yourself be inspired once again by Jaipur’s stones.

Quartzite pool cladding

Quartzite is a natural stone with distinctly light and uniform tones. It is a particularly hard stone, so it is suitable for surfaces that need to withstand the test of time. Flooring, walkways, and even as cladding for both interior and exterior surfaces: quartzite is the modern and stylish solution for you if you want to combine practicality and design.

This stone comes in two versions: the natural one, which Jaipur Pietre can treat with various finishes, from flamed and brushed, sandblasted or polished, to give an even more exclusive character to your design. Or there are split-face quartzites, stones naturally suited for outdoor spaces such as walkways and cladding for solariums and pools.

Split-face quartzites, in fact, share all the characteristics of natural quartzite. They are therefore resistant to extreme thermal fluctuations, both in terms of frost and heat resistance. Which means that they do not change under the scorching summer heat or the freezing winter cold. Essentially, your pool deck or poolside area will remain bright and shiny, just like the day it was installed.

Furthermore, like all quartzites, they are resistant to acidic products. The chlorine in your pool or cleaning products will not harm them, making maintenance and care relatively simple. This is crucial to ensuring that the stones remain as beautiful as when you first saw them in our showroom or while browsing projects on our website.

What makes split-face quartzites particularly well-suited for poolside areas or solariums is their surface. Since they are particularly rough and irregular, they have a non-slip effect, ensuring safe walking. This means you won’t have to worry about where you step, and you can show off a complete and enviable tan.

Jaipur Pietre’s split-face quartzites come in a variety of tones: from the chocolate hues of Jaipur Chocolate to the white shades of Quarzite Ghiaccio and Jaipur White, to the deep tones of Jaipur Grey and Silver Grey.
