Maintaining The Rubber Pool Deck Around Your Pool
Rubber pool deck coatings are a popular option for pool areas, sound hot tubs, and anywhere that water can accumulate. The coating is good looking , easy to maintain, and can provide a much safer surface for people around your pool. If the surface is damaged, rubber pool deck repair is not complicated and does not require replacing the material.
Selecting a Coating Style
Rubber pool deck installers often have many deck coating styles and colors for you to choose for your pool area. You can decorate by matching the color to other things in the area, or perhaps a more neutral color may be more your style. If you are looking for something more natural, you can get coatings that look like pebbles or stone around the pool. The choice is yours to make.
Rubber pool deck installers put the material down the same way no matter which style you choose, and when they are done, your deck area will look much nicer. The material is rolled onto the concrete around the pool in multiple coatings and allowed to cure between coats. The layers are combined to a specific thickness that will bind together and create a decking that is slip-resistant and has a little give to it should someone fall on the pool deck.
Maintaining Your Pool Decking
Once the rubber pool deck installation is complete, maintaining it very simple. The deck surface can be washed with a pressure washer or a brush and hose. Dirt comes off the surface easily, so regular washing of the deck will only take a few minutes, and the rubber pool deck will look new if it is kept clean.
Most rubber pool deck installers recommend that the deck have a maintenance coat applied over the existing coating every three to five years to keep the deck looking great. Talk to your installer about what they recommend with the material they are using on your rubber pool deck installation.
Pool Deck Repair
If you need rubber pool deck repair after some damage to the deck material, call your pool deck installation contractor. The fix is often a recoat of the damaged area, but the contractor may want to clean the deck first to make sure there is nothing on the surface that might affect the repair's adhesion.
The contractor will apply the material for the repair in thin coats to fill the damaged area, but not build it up so much that it creates a high spot in the decking material. Once the repair cures, it will be very difficult to see where the repair was made, and most people will never know you had to repair the surface at all.
