Pool Deck Transformed with Cool, Slip-Resistant Coating

Posted by admin on September 23, 2024 in Blog

At a residential backyard in Bowling Green, KY, SUNDEK of Nashville removed an epoxy finish and replaced it with Classic Texture and Aggregate Effects.

At her home in Bowling Green, Kentucky, a homeowner had an epoxy coating on her pool deck that she initially liked for its appearance—but soon realized wasn’t the best surface for a pool deck. It would get uncomfortably hot during summer and become slippery when wet. Concerned about these issues, she reached out to SUNDEK of Nashville for a solution. SUNDEK was offered their expertise to address her concerns.

SUNDEK had a solution that would resolve the functionality issues while also keeping the style the homeowner wanted. Their idea: remove the epoxy coating and replace it with Classic Texture. This textured coating, which is sometimes referred to as knockdown texture, offers advantages that make it ideal for pool decks: its slip-resistant surface ensures safety even when wet, which is crucial for areas around a pool.

SUNDEK of Nashville began their work on the backyard pool deck by carefully removing the existing epoxy surface, exposing the concrete beneath.

The non-porous acrylic finish prevents dirt, oils, and chemicals from penetrating the coating, making it easy to maintain. Additionally, the texture provides a comfortable walking surface, even with bare feet. It stays cooler than traditional concrete, brick, or tile.

To enhance the appearance of the coating, SUNDEK proposed including aggregate effects. This unique finish involves spraying multiple speckles of different colors onto the surface to emulate the look of washed aggregate concrete. The aggregate effects add character to the deck while also helping camouflage the surface from dust and debris.

To create the look the homeowner wanted, SUNDEK Aggregate Effects created a custom color combination: Bone White for the Classic Texture base, then speckles of Cumberland, Mission Tan, and Sable to top it all off.

The homeowner was excited about the proposed design and SUNDEK began their work on the project. The first step was to remove the existing epoxy coating completely, ensuring a clean, smooth surface for the new application. Once they properly prepared the surface, SUNDEK installed the Classic Texture coating, carefully applying the aggregate effects to achieve the desired look.

Now, with her new beautiful pool deck, the homeowner can enjoy comfortably walking and lounging in her pool area, even on hot summer days.

Upon completion, the new pool deck not only looks beautiful but is also more functional and comfortable. The slip-resistant, cooler surface provided peace of mind, while the custom color mix and aggregate effects gave the deck a unique and stylish appearance. The pool deck was exactly what the homeowner was hoping for, leaving her satisfied with the final product.
