A Concrete Deck Can Improve the Appearance of Your Pool Area
A backyard swimming pool is an ideal place to relax and enjoy a hot summer afternoon. It is also often a place where family and friends gather for parties and get-togethers in the warmer months. If you have a pool in your backyard, you want it to be an attractive and inviting place where people will want to spend their time.
A Concrete Pool Deck Can Give You a Beautiful Backyard
Many in-ground pools are surrounded by concrete that varies widely in terms of attractiveness. A concrete pool deck can be colored and coated to create a beautiful surface that will enhance the appearance of your backyard and allow people to enjoy relaxing in and around the pool.
Stamped concrete offers a wide array of decorative choices that other materials cannot provide. Concrete can be decorated with many patterns that can make it resemble brick, stone, or tile, and in some cases, even wood. It can be coated with a stain, powdered pigment, or antiquating agent to create the desired look.
Design Options
If your concrete pool deck is in an area that gets a lot of sun exposure, you can make the surface stay cooler by using lighter shades to color the concrete. Stamp patterns with deep grout lines and rough surface textures should not be used because water can collect in them. This can make it uncomfortable to walk on the concrete pool deck while barefoot.
You can set off the pool deck and make its appearance more appealing by creating a border, or coping, in a different color and pattern. You can use broom-finished concrete, concrete tile, limestone, or hand-scored concrete. The levels of the concrete pool deck can be terraced to create separate areas for swimming and relaxing.
Sealers and Finishes for Concrete Pool Decks
Stamped concrete should be sealed to help it resist damage from pool chemicals, water, and fading. A non-skid grit additive can be mixed into the sealer to prevent the concrete pool deck from getting slippery when wet.
Elite Concrete Systems can create a beautiful decorative concrete pool deck that can enhance the character and beauty of your backyard. We can coat your concrete pool deck with a protective concrete finish that can reduce the risk of slip-and-fall accidents on the wet surface.
Our finishes can be applied to new or existing pool decks in almost any condition. They have a polymer-modified cement that forms a chemical bond with the surface of the concrete. The finishes provide permanent anti-slip protection and can improve the appearance of your pool deck for many years.
Our concrete finishes can also resist damage caused by the sun’s UV rays, pool chemicals, and staining, as well as extreme temperatures. Our concrete pool finishes are VOC-free and can be used in a nearly limitless variety of designs and colors.
