When the heat is blazing outside, nothing is more refreshing than your swimming pool. You may even find difficult to get out, especially if your pool deck surface tends to be unbearably hot under on your skin. Hot concrete can ruin a fabulous pool and deck, but it doesn’t have to anymore. Due to advances in the concrete industry, you can now add a special coating to your concrete pool deck that is much cooler to walk on. As an added bonus, most of these surfaces are texturized, so they are slip resistant when wet.

What is this special top coat and how does it work?

SUNDEK of Washington offers a top coat called Classic Texture that is placed directly on top of old or new concrete. You can do this application for aesthetic purposes and/or to satisfy strict pool safety requirements. Once the top coat is in place, you can stencil a design right onto the surface, or add staining or stamping. The concrete design options are virtually limitless. SUNDEK of Washington can even manipulate your concrete surface to resemble natural stone, brick, tile or pavers. They are, after all, the decorative concrete experts in the Washington D.C. area, winning numerous awards for their inventive designs and advances in the decorative concrete industry.

SUNDEK of Washington’s concrete applications are topped off with a finishing coat that prevents mildew and algae from deteriorating your deck, due to its non-porous properties. Concrete surfaces with this special coating are ultra durable, lasting much longer than typical concrete; thus, maintenance on a deck surfaced with one of SUNDEK’s products is simple: just rinse it down with a hose every once in a while.

Poolside fun doesn’t have to involve pain.You can have the concrete pool deck of your dreams and not burn your feet while walking on it. Developments in the decorative concrete industry will keep you and your toes cool all summer long.
