Pool Surrounds and Non-Slip Epoxy

The concrete around a pool has the hardest life of any slab on the property. It is wet for half the day, walked on in bare feet, cooked by the sun and splashed with chlorinated or salt water every time someone gets out. Plain concrete goes slippery when it is wet, stains where the water pools, and starts to look tired long before the rest of the yard does.

A non-slip epoxy system fixes all three at once. The surface is coated and finished with a slip-resistant texture, so it grips under wet feet instead of turning into a slide. The coating seals the concrete so water, chlorine and salt sit on the surface rather than soaking in and staining. And it gives the whole pool area one clean, finished look instead of a patchwork of grey concrete.

It suits pool surrounds, outdoor showers, alfresco and entertaining areas around the pool, and any wet area where bare feet and slippery concrete meet. The decorative flake system is the usual choice out here: the flake gives the texture, and it hides the sand, leaves and everyday grime that a pool area collects.

As with everything else we do, the slab is ground, repaired and prepared properly first. Around a pool that matters more than anywhere, because a coating that was laid on unprepared concrete is a coating that lifts.

• Grip when it is wet A slip-resistant finish made for bare feet and pool water.
• Seals the concrete Water, chlorine and salt stay on the surface instead of soaking in and staining.
• Hides the mess Flake finishes hide sand, leaves and grime between hosings.
• Prepared first, like every floor we do Ground and repaired before any coating goes down, so it stays down.

Make the pool area safe to walk on wet.
