Your next project might be taking a look at your concrete pool deck, and you'll likely find some damage or fading. Luckily, Floor Shield of Central Florida provides high-quality polyaspartic concrete coatings to residents of Dayton who are looking to install a brand-new pool deck on their property. Keep reading to learn more about why our Floor Shield products are perfect for your outdoor pool deck.
Common Pool Deck Issues
Let's first go over some of the most common problems that homeowners run into with bare concrete or tile pool decks. Concrete splitting and cracking are big ones, alongside fading tiles due to sun exposure. Cracked concrete can create dangerous conditions for those using your deck, while moisture intrusion into the cracks can result in mold and mildew growth. Other pool deck issues include:
- Chipped edges
- Ingrained dirt
- Peeling sealant or paint
- Slipperiness
It's smart to choose polyaspartic concrete coatings for your pool deck when you want to eliminate all of these issues and more on your property.
Why Concrete Coatings Are The Best Choice
Many homeowners choose epoxy systems for their pool decks due to their popularity, but they often don't know that polyaspartic coatings are far superior to epoxies. Epoxy's popularity has been on the decline in the last few years as more people realize that concrete coatings are four times stronger than epoxy and offer a multitude of benefits that epoxy can't match up to. Floor Shield products are slip-resistant, perfect for an environment that is constantly wet, and are incredibly easy to clean after a day hanging by the pool. Unlike tiles, concrete coatings won't turn yellow under UV rays, meaning their beauty will last for years to come.
Additionally, the products we offer at Floor Shield of Central Florida are easy to apply, adhere right to your existing floors, and take way less time to cure than other floor coatings like epoxy. Planning a pool party a few days after the installation date? Don't worry- your deck will be ready for use in just a few hours' time. And because there are no foul odors or VOCs, anyone can start using your pool deck as soon as the coatings have cured.
As you can see, concrete coatings are the perfect floor coating for your pool deck as well as for any other outdoor flooring! If you want to learn more about our concrete coatings, just call our team at Floor Shield of Central Florida.
