WHY IT’S WORTH RESURFACING YOUR POOL DECK
Taking a dip in your pool is always a refreshing and enjoyable experience. However, you might have already noticed the deck surrounding it has become damaged. If there’s evidence of wear and tear, it may be time to resurface it. The garage floor coating specialists at Guardian Garage Floors discuss the signs you need to restore the beauty of your pool deck.
SIGNS YOUR POOL DECK NEEDS RESURFACING
Resurfacing your pool deck is due if you notice any of the following signs:
-
Cracking and chipping. They are often a result of structural settling, temperature fluctuations or ground movement. They can also pose a tripping hazard for anyone going in and out of the pool, which is why affected areas must be resurfaced.
-
Discoloration. Exposure to liquids, including pool water that contains chemicals like chlorine, can lead to fading or staining over time. Resurfacing the pool deck can help bring the color and shine to the pool deck like it was brand-new.
-
Aging. A resurfacing project might be all it takes to give your pool deck a fresh look and extend its life span, especially if it has seen years of utility.
DIFFERENT POOL DECK RESURFACING OPTIONS
The following are some of the options in which homeowners can resurface their pool deck:
-
Concrete. Stamped concrete involves imprinting patterns and designs to create textured or embossed walking surfaces.
-
Floor coatings. Polyaspartic coatings, which are commonly used as garage floor finishes, are laid on top of the concrete to give the pool deck superior durability and resistance to chemicals, abrasion and impact.
MAINTAINING A RESURFACED POOL DECK
Regardless of resurfacing option, a newly-restored pool deck requires little maintenance. The process is simple — sweep the walking surface to get rid of any loose debris, especially when the pool deck is out of commission during the colder months. Also, water can be splashed onto the deck when the pool is in use, so it’s best to mop it promptly to minimize surface staining or dulling.
