When summer reaches its peak, it’s great to have a pool nearby to dip into. But, in Oklahoma, when temperatures reach triple digits, even the deck around the pool can be too hot to walk on. That’s where Cool Pool Decks by Encore Coatings comes in. This revolutionary coating not only enhances the look of the deck surrounding your pool, it also reduces heat build up by nearly 40-percent. That makes walking or lounging on your deck much more comfortable. Here are just a few reasons that the Cool coating is a must have for your personal, neighborhood or apartment pool.
- Stays cleaner
There are a variety of other coatings available that claim to keep your pool’s deck cooler throughout the summer. These alternatives rely on textured coating that creates crevices and cavities throughout your deck. That makes the deck collect and hold dirt and grime. Cool coatings are smooth and uniform while still being skid resistant. That make it easier to maintain your deck and keep it clean with just soap and water.
- Durability
Your Cool coating bonds chemically with the existing concrete, which helps to prevent chipping and peeling. If there’s ever a need to power wash the surface, Cool coating will withstand the pressure without the damage you’d expect from other, similar coatings. And, in areas where the concrete is damaged, Cool can actually help make repairs. For cracks up to 1/8″, Cool coating fills and permanently seals the area and leaves your deck smooth and flawless.
- Slip-resistant
We’ve discussed the flat, smooth surface that Cool pool deck coatings help create. A surface like that would certainly seem to be a slipping hazard around a pool where it’s bound to get wet. In in these wet conditions, however, Cool coatings meet and exceed the commercial skid resistance safety requirements from the ADA. Cool’s subtle texture provides enough traction to keep you safe without providing too much.
- Affordable
Cool coatings have often saved pool owners from having to completely overhaul their deck area, which is a project commonly bid at tens of thousands of dollars. It’s also more affordable than many of the other alternatives with most applications coming in at an average of $1.20 per square foot for all needed materials. Perhaps best of all, Cool pool deck coatings are easy to install so you’ll also save on labor. All you need to do is clean the surface, apply Cool coating with a normal paint roller, let dry for 30-minutes, apply a second coat and finally a clear sealer.
