July is peak pool season, but many homeowners are facing cracked, faded pools. Poor or bare pool surroundings knock your pool party score down from an eleven to a seven. 

So before the pool season ends, it’s important to remember that Innovative Custom Concrete can give your pool deck slip-resistant finishes and heat-reflective coatings that will bump your party score right back up!

Avoiding Slips ‘n Slides on Your Concrete Pool Deck in Roanoke, VA

A safe and beautiful pool deck starts with the right concrete. Smooth concrete or basic paints can become incredibly dangerous when wet, as they can become highly slippery. 

Coatings provide a textured, non-slip surface that significantly improves safety. If you’re looking to upgrade your concrete pool deck in Roanoke or Salem, VA, ICC knows what’s up to make your old deck into a slip-resistant pool deck.

Keeping It Cool - Your Concrete, That Is

Concrete stains easily because it is porous. Caring for treated concrete is similar to that for untreated concrete: you should regularly sweep away debris, but treated concrete resists stains. 

Cleaning is often as easy as a blast with the hose. You should also occasionally wash your concrete deck with mild soap and water to prevent algae, mold, and chemical stains from degrading the coating.

Resealing Your Concrete Pool Deck: Why You Gotta

Even durable coatings need periodic maintenance. Most coated concrete should be resealed every 2-3 years to maintain water resistance and treatment viability. A quality coating protects the underlying concrete from adverse weather, preventing cracking and shifting, and improving comfort and safety.

Functionality Is Vital, But What About Style?

Your pool is likely to be the centerpiece of your landscaping, and a drab, cracked concrete surround ruins the aesthetic. Over time, concrete pool decks inevitably discolor from debris and chemical spills. 

So, in addition to slip and heat resistance, you can choose colors that complement your tastes! There’s also the fun of stamped concrete for your pool deck. Virginia residents can choose a fresh, unique look that fits their style.
