Materials For Pool Decks
Selecting the right material for your pool deck can be sometimes tricky since you have to consider the space and budget along with your vision.
Here are some popular materials to choose from:
Concrete
Concrete decks are possibly the most popular decks since they’re more affordable than other options. You can choose between two types: stamped and broom finished.
Homeowners that want the quintessential concrete look tend to opt for a broom finish since it is available in different colors.
On the other hand, if you want the concrete to resemble another material, like brick or tile, you can go for stamped finishing.
Although stamping is expensive as compared to broom finished concrete, it’s still cheaper than using actual stone. Homeowners living in colder areas should not use concrete since it freezes and thaws with the seasons changing.
As a result, cracks start to appear in the concrete. Whatever your preferences are, let us know, and we’ll recommend the material accordingly.
Wood
Wood decks are a contemporary option and are chosen by most modern homeowners. They’re easy to build and don’t cost a lot. Also, they have a natural appearance and are perfect for irregular pools since wood can be cut up into any shape.
However, with wood decks, you have to be wary about maintenance. Wood needs to be sealed and stained to prevent discoloration and deterioration over time.
Composite Wood
If you love the way wood looks but cannot be bothered with all the extra maintenance the material requires, you can select composite wood. It’s made using a synthetic material but resembles the appearance of wood.
More importantly, it needs little to no maintenance, so there’s no hassle involved. The material does not rot or splinter with time, nor does it degrade due to sun or moisture exposure.
Since it feels and looks like wood, no one will even notice the difference. You can choose between different colors and types, depending on your budget and personal taste.
However, we have to warn you that composite wood is expensive. But if you don’t want the maintenance requirements to be high, it’s worth the money.
Stone
Stone is another popular pool deck material that’s stylish and durable. Also, nowadays, you can find stones in different shapes and hues, so there’s always an opportunity to make the deck as modern as you want.
Along with adding a deck, you can also use stone for boulders, waterfalls, and other interesting structures in the pool. Stone is timeless and does not require much maintenance.
One of the best things about a stone deck is its non-slip surface. So, if you’ve got kids at home, they will not accidentally slip into the pool from the deck. Although many other kinds of stones are also available, travertine is often the first choice.
It’s a no-slip material that’s perfect for wet environments and gives off a stylish look. But as compared to some other materials, the stone is more expensive. In fact, it’s the most expensive option you can choose, but then again, the durability is hard to match.
Pavers
Pavers resemble tiny bricks and may be made using stone or concrete. We arrange them in interlocking patterns, creating an interesting design on your pool deck. Pavers can be placed over a base made of sand or stone.
The best thing about pavers is their ability to withstand exposure to the Sun. Unlike concrete, they do not crack since they are treated before installation. Also, it’s easy to repair them. If you ever need repairs, we’re just a call away.
Although pavers are expensive, they’re still more affordable than a stone pool deck.
Tile
If you’re a fan of tile, you’d be delighted to know that it can also be used in your pool deck. Tile is comparatively easier to work with and can be glazed to give the pool a sleek finish.
Plus, there are countless designs when it comes to tiling, so you’ll definitely be spoilt for choice. You don’t necessarily have to use square tiles since irregularly shaped tiles are also available in the market.
Even better, you can buy tiles that look like wood or marble to give the pool deck a luxurious look without spending money on stone.
