Let’s face facts, when summer comes around in Florida that backyard pool is the happiest place on earth. You can take some time to cool off, use it for exercise, and host parties. Honestly, it’s great for just about everything. It’s important that the pool is a place we want to be. It should look great and be a safe place for wet feet moving around the deck.

Staining Vs Painting: What is Best for my Deck

Florida has the second most amount of home pools of any state in the United States! That’s a lot of pools. It also means that these pools get a lot of use and you need something that is going to stand up to the daily wear and tear on your pool deck and keep people safe. That’s why we recommend straining, not painting, your pool deck. It’s not just for wood surfaces! Stain is designed to penetrate and travel into the pores of the concrete surface in which will allow advance durability and will hold up to foot traction. Paint is designed to sit on top of the surface; therefore, it is not as durable and is not recommended for any surface that will have foot traction.

When it’s your family’s safety CorsPaint will go above and beyond. That’s why we offer a slip resistant additive for our stains. When you have kids that just can’t slow down on the pool deck or you just want to make sure that everyone stays safe a slip resistant additive is an excellent precaution to take. Choosing the right product for the job is always a priority and you will actually feel the difference under your feet.

Beat the Heat with Cooling Tech and Smart Design

Have you ever walked on a pool deck surface during the summer with bare feet and it felt like your feet are walking on top of a hot oven? Well we have the solution: the cool feel technology additive applied inside the stain. The cool deck additive keeps the surface temperature of your pool deck from getting as hot as it normally would under the hot sun during the Florida summer. Color selection will also make a big difference both in aesthetic and functionality of the deck. You might have a preference towards a dark color, but it’s important to remember that it will absorb more heat and be less comfortable to use. You may need to clean a lighter color deck more often, but you will have the benefits of a cool surface to work and play on.
