Concrete swimming pool decks need routine cleaning and maintenance, just like all the concrete surfaces around your home.  Pool decks require thorough cleaning once or twice a year using a pressure washer and cleaning solution and scrub brush for stains and debris from nearby plants and landscape materials.  Because swimming pools are subjected to chlorides, harmful pool chemicals, and nonstop water exposure, application of a concrete sealer is crucial to prolonging the life of your pool deck, enhancing its beauty, and ultimately making it easier to clear and maintain.

Film-forming concrete sealers are used for decorative concrete and they provide a protective film on the surface of the pool deck to prevent intrusion of water and chemicals.  Most sealers also have a sheen which highlights the beauty of colored or exposed aggregate finishes.  Topical sealers can be slippery so slip-resistant additives can be mixed into the sealer before application to improve traction.

Is your pool deck in rough shape?  Swimming pool decks can be repaired and refreshed without the expense and hassle of tearing out the old concrete and pouring new.  The process encompasses repairing damaged concrete surfaces and applying resurfacing options such as pool deck cool surface sealer, a spray textured overlay, stamped concrete overlay, or a cementitious microtopping.  All these options can be personalized with custom colors, stains, aggregate effects, or even made to like natural stone, brick or wood.

Today’s overlay products mix resins with cement, sand, and other additives which improve performance, slip resistance, appearance and bonding to the existing concrete.  Some coatings used for resurfacing resist damage from salt, pool chemicals, UV exposure, freeze-thaw conditions, and abrasion (concretenetwork.com).
