Why Choose a Concrete Pool Deck?
In Florida, the pool deck is an area where people love to lounge around, read a book, tan, and soak in the sun before taking a refreshing dip in the water. Swimming pool decks come in all shapes and sizes, and a large variety of materials, from concrete to pavers. As one of the top concrete companies in Orlando, we’ve repaired thousands of pool decks, and it’s safe to say that concrete is the most advantageous surface to use for a variety of reasons.
Advantages of a Concrete Pool Deck The first advantage of a concrete pool deck is the amazing variety of colors and styles available, which allows you to match the architecture of any residential or commercial building. The second advantage is that it’s easy to walk on because the surface is smooth, clean-looking, and perfectly even. Third, concrete pool decks manage heat relatively well, preventing your feet from burning when the sun is out. The last major advantage of using concrete around your pool is that it’s easy to clean and maintain. Disadvantages of a Concrete Pool Deck Many concrete companies in Orlando won’t be very forthcoming with the drawbacks of concrete pool decks because of the impact to their business, but the public needs to know the truth. The largest disadvantage of a concrete pool deck is that it can be dangerously slippery when wet. However, there’s an easy fix for that. Install a textured concrete overlay on the surface or use exposed aggregate to add some grip to the ground. That way, when someone splashes some water on the pool deck, no one falls and gets hurt. Maintenance Recommendations When installed by an experienced contractor, concrete is the perfect pool deck surface. It comes in many colors like whites, grays, beige, browns, and more, and you can add glossy finishes to create a stunning look that’s truly unique. But, if not properly maintained, it may not last for as many years as you’d like. Because of that, we highly recommend sealing your pool deck to protect your investment and avoid costly repairs. A quality sealant locks in the vibrant color and shields the concrete surface from fading with UV rays. The sealant also safeguards the deck from chemical stains. Finally, sealing the pool deck lessens the chance of cracks as the ground temperature changes in the winter months. |
