Why Safety Comes First Around the Pool
A beautiful pool area should be a place to relax — not a source of worry.
Yet every summer, thousands of accidents happen because pool decks become slippery when wet.
Bare concrete, old paint, or tile might look fine at first, but they often trap water and lose traction over time.
That’s why more homeowners across Pennsylvania are switching to polyaspartic pool deck coatings — a durable, UV-stable solution designed for both safety and style.
At Flake Pro Coatings, we specialize in creating outdoor surfaces that stay cool, slip-resistant, and beautiful — so your family can enjoy every moment by the water with peace of mind.
1. Built-In Slip Resistance That Doesn’t Fade
The secret behind a safe polyaspartic pool deck is texture.
During installation, we broadcast decorative flakes or fine traction media into the coating to create micro-grip — an even, slip-resistant surface that still feels smooth under bare feet.
Unlike traditional paints or sealers that wear away, polyaspartic coatings form a permanent bond with the concrete.
That means the texture — and the safety — last for years, not months.
No peeling, no slick spots, no surprise slips after a few seasons.
2. Cool and Comfortable Underfoot
Concrete and tile can heat up fast in the summer sun, reaching uncomfortable — even dangerous — temperatures.
Polyaspartic coatings are UV-stable and reflective, helping the surface stay cooler.
They don’t absorb heat like darker epoxy coatings or painted decks, so walking barefoot feels comfortable even on hot days.
3. Resistant to Chlorine, Water, and Weather
Pools are harsh environments: constant moisture, pool chemicals, and UV exposure all attack traditional coatings.
Polyaspartic systems are chemically resistant, meaning they won’t degrade, chalk, or discolor when exposed to chlorine or saltwater.
Rain, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles don’t stand a chance either — the coating expands and contracts with the concrete without cracking or lifting.
4. Easy to Clean, Easy to Love
Polyaspartic pool deck finishes are seamless and nonporous, so dirt, sunscreen, and pool chemicals don’t soak in — they simply rinse off.
A quick hose-down or light wash with mild detergent keeps the area looking fresh.
Unlike tile grout or textured concrete, there’s nowhere for mildew to grow.
5. Custom Design for Any Backyard
Safety doesn’t have to look boring.
With decorative flake systems, you can choose from dozens of color blends — from natural stone tones to coastal grays and blues — to match your pool and landscape design.
Matte or semi-gloss finishes are available depending on how much reflection you prefer.
