If your pool deck is beginning to show chips, cracks, or discoloration, a variety of pool deck coatings are available to help cover up existing flaws and enhance the look of your pool. Some deck coating systems are designed specifically to reflect heat, improve slip resistance, and add style and texture.
In this guide, we highlight popular deck coating options to help you make the right choice for your pool.
Concrete resurfacing
Concrete resurfacing offers a faster and cheaper alternative to replacing, removing, or jackhammering your entire pool deck. If your existing pool deck surface is chipped, cracked, or stained, a simple resurfacing work can give your pool an instant facelift.
Concrete resurfacing products come in a range of colors, styles, and patterns to suit unique preferences and budgets. Beautify your pool deck by adding stains or dyes to mimic the look of brick, slate, marble, or natural stone.
Epoxy Coating
Epoxy coatings are ideal for pool decks that have cracks or imperfections. Most epoxies formulated for pool decks are resistant to stains and water.
Built for extreme durability, outdoor epoxy coatings are capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and foot traffic without the need for constant maintenance and repairs. Its smooth, easy-to-clean finish does not peel, blister, and/or fade from exposure to UV rays and pool chemicals.
Epoxy coatings also feature stylish, non-slip textures for greater safety and visual appeal. Choose from various styles and colors to match the character of your home and increase its value.
Anti-Slip Coatings
Anti-slip coatings offer an easy way to protect your pool deck from the elements, chemicals, and general wear and tear. They may be applied alone or along with another coating.
Featuring a slip-resistant additive, this type of coating creates a safe, glossy, and easy-to-clean surface for traditionally slippery areas. Clear anti-slip coatings are designed to retain the appearance of the pool deck while protecting it from fading or peeling.
Rubber coating systems
One of the best advantages of using rubber coating is its ability to maintain its shape and integrity for many years. This makes it ideal for pool decks that are constantly exposed to foot traffic and the elements.
Liquid rubber coatings are safe and available in a variety of colors. They are also resistant to stains and are easily cleaned with regular soap and water.
Rubber decking can withstand extreme heat, keeping your feet cool during hot summer days. However, they do not offer as many patterns and styles as other pool deck coating options.
