ᐅ Pool edging with square pavers or rounded ones?

Hello!

A question for pool owners who have already completed a swimming season: We are currently planning the installation of terrace slabs (90x90x2 cm (35x35x0.8 inches)) and now we’re wondering whether to use quarter-round edging or square tiles around the pool. We much prefer the square look, but considering the risk of injury for our children (and ourselves), a rounded option (like a quarter-round edging) might be more sensible (this is also recommended by the tiler).

How did you solve this?

Best regards,
Jochen

If your head hits the edge of a tile, it doesn’t matter whether it is rounded or not. Rounded edges are usually more expensive, and this is often used to profit from people’s concerns. You could also use rubber mats instead of tiles, and so on... Just make sure to choose slip-resistant tiles.

I see it the same way. The strange thing is that you have to look through about 100 pictures on Google Images before you find a square frame. It makes you wonder if something might have been overlooked...
