Tips for Choosing a Cool Deck Material

There are several factors you need to consider when searching for a pool deck material. You should:

• Select a material that doesn’t get slippery when wet
• Choose a material that isn’t coarse, bumpy, or uneven
• Choose a material that can reflect heat. This will ensure that the deck surface remains cool on a sunny day.
• Choose a material that can blend well with the hardscape or the other paved areas of your yard
• Select a material that is resistant to chemicals, acids, mildew, molds, algae, and frost
• The deck design should come with safety barriers. Therefore, the deck design should accommodate this

Some of the pool deck materials include the following:

Concrete

This popular kool deck material comes in various colors. It is possible to make it in different ways to get simple, clean, and beautiful lines. If you need a cool deck with an even surface to enhance the look and safety of your pool, speak to a professional masonry contractor.

Bricks

This is another material that is commonly used for a kool deck. One of its benefits is that it is extremely durable and easy to maintain. Your pool deck can be designed with bricks that have different colors. However, moss likes growing on bricks, which can cause your deck to be slippery, increasing the risk of falling.

Stones

If you need a high class, safe, and natural finish, you should use stones. This is because the material that looks natural comes with a great and slip-resistant texture. Stone is also highly versatile and can be used to enhance the look of your landscape. Different kinds of stones can be used, and the overall cost should depend on your choice of stone. Some of the commonly used flat stones for a deck include limestone, granite, sandstone, quartzite, and porphyry.

Tiles

Nowadays, we have a wide range of kool deck tiles available. Therefore, you can always find an option that meets your needs. When choosing tile, choose unglazed surfaces such as Saltillo, porcelain that is water-impervious. Another great option is the vitreous tiles. These tiles are often slip-resistant and can withstand the freeze and frost process.

Pavers

If you would like to give your pool a unique look, choose pavers. These materials come in a wide range of colors, shapes, sizes, and materials. Some of the paver materials that are commonly used to make a cool deck include stone and concrete.

Artificial Turf

If you reside in an area that is affected by drought, one of the options that you may consider is artificial grass. With synthetic grass, you can have a lively and fresh look to your entire landscape.
