Coral Stone Pavers — Natural Stone for Pool Decks & Outdoor Living
Factory-direct coral stone pavers engineered for pool decks, patios, and architectural hardscapes.
One Fossilized Stone. Two Specialized Formats.
There is often confusion between "Coral Stone Tiles" and "Coral Stone Pavers." While both are cut from the same prehistoric fossil-reef blocks in the Dominican Republic, they are engineered for very different installations.
Selecting the correct thickness and finish is critical for the longevity of your project. A pool deck requires a thick, sand-set paver, while an interior living room demands a thinner, mortar-set tile.
Engineered for Performance
Our factory cuts every block specifically for its intended environment. We don't just sell "stone"; we manufacture specified architectural products.
Whether you need a heat-resistant deck that stays cool under the Florida sun or a sophisticated interior wall cladding, understanding the difference between our two core formats ensures your installation lasts for generations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are coral stone pavers good for pool decks?
Yes, they are considered one of the best materials for pool decks. Their natural composition means they absorb virtually no heat, staying cool to the touch even on the hottest summer days. Additionally, the fossilized texture provides a naturally non-slip surface.
Do coral stone pavers get hot?
No. Unlike concrete, porcelain, or dark travertine which can become scorching hot, coral stone remains comfortable for bare feet. This is due to the stone's high porosity and light color, which prevents heat retention.
Are they slippery when wet?
Coral stone pavers have a high coefficient of friction, making them naturally anti-slip. The porous texture acts like a sponge for water and provides grip, making them safer than sealed concrete or polished stone around swimming pools.
What is the difference between coral stone and travertine?
While both are sedimentary limestones, Coral Stone is formed from fossilized coral reefs and is significantly cooler and more porous than Travertine. Travertine is denser and comes in warmer walnut/beige tones, whereas Coral Stone offers a distinct coastal white/cream aesthetic.
