Hello World! Welcome Friends! Resurfacing your concrete pool deck is a great way to protect the surface from harsh weather conditions and maintain its attractiveness. It’s also a cost-saving alternative to replacement, saving you thousands of dollars.
Many options offer beautiful fade-resistant color and slip-resistance, whether micro toppings, acrylic coatings or stain. These resurfacing options are affordable, easy to maintain and can mimic premium materials.
Durability
Concrete is an incredibly durable material. When resurfaced, it offers a tough, sturdy surface that can withstand many pool activities and weather conditions.
Concrete pool deck resurfacing can also add strength to the existing structure, which will help prevent cracking in the future. If the concrete does start to break, a repair patch can be put over it.
Cracks in a pool deck aren’t just unsightly and can create safety hazards. Resurfacing the surface with a textured finish can add traction and make your pool deck safer for foot traffic around your pool.
Resurfacing can also give your concrete the look of more expensive materials, like pavers, stone, and wood. A skilled concrete expert can use micro-toppings to mimic stone and even offer color and texture options that look as natural as possible.
Aesthetics
Over time, concrete pool decks can lose their protective layer and look dingy. Resurfacing with a concrete coating will protect the surface and give it a new look.
Concrete resurfacing options typically include decorative concrete that creates unique design patterns. Depending on which provider you use to have your deck resurfaced, there may be other options allowing interesting texture or color combinations.
Pavers are real stones that can be used in place of or on top of concrete to give your pool deck a tile effect. They are more expensive than other resurfacing options, however. They can also shift over time, leading to unevenness that causes tripping hazards. Resurfacing with a concrete overlay is less expensive than pavers but offers plenty of design options for your pool area.
Easy Maintenance
A properly resurfaced pool deck is easy to clean and maintain. Using a pressure washer to remove dirt, stains and other debris is a quick, affordable task. It should be done regularly to extend the life of the concrete and protect the surface from water damage and deterioration.
Unprotected concrete stains quickly and is more susceptible to cracking, physical damage and surface erosion. The use of a concrete sealant will greatly help in the protection and lifespan of your pool deck.
Pool deck resurfacing can include a variety of finishes and materials, from an acrylic overlay with a classic texture, cool deck or stone coat, pavers or even stamped concrete. These options are affordable and offer a wide array of style choices. Some can be slip-resistant and often cooler than concrete (depending on the product/finish selected). They are also highly customizable for a unique style that complements your home.
Increased Value
If your concrete pool deck is cracking and showing signs of age, resurfacing can help protect the structure and save you money on repairs in the long run. Many pool resurfacing products can be applied to cover and repair cracked concrete areas and fill in minor gaps that could lead to larger issues.
Resurfacing products can also be used to create a custom look. You can transform concrete with a stamped overlay that can look like natural stone, brick or wood. You can even create a textured finish to improve slip resistance.
Certain resurfacing materials can make your deck feel cooler on hot summer days.
Safety
A quality resurfacing coating will protect the surface of your concrete pool deck from sun, rain and chlorine water that can lead to cracking and discoloration. This can help you avoid costly repairs and maintain the safety of your guests.
Many affordable resurfacing options, such as micro-toppings and acrylic paint, provide UV-resistant color and texture. Some resurfacers offer slip resistance to help prevent injuries around your commercial swimming pool.
You can also choose a decorative concrete overlay for your pool deck to get the look of natural stone, brick or wood without the expensive price tag. These products are also durable and provide a safe textured walking surface. These options are also a great way to hide any cracks or other damage that might be present in the existing concrete surface.
