As temperatures rise, the allure of a cool, inviting pool deck becomes undeniable for Arizona homeowners. However, the harsh sun can take its toll, causing the deck surface to flake and chip, diminishing both its safety and aesthetic appeal. Traditionally, the solution has been to grind down and retexture the entire deck, but a more nuanced approach by Pool Deck Restore offers an appealing alternative.
Understanding Cool Deck Damage
The cool deck surrounding a pool not only ensures safety by providing necessary traction but also keeps the concrete comfortably cool underfoot during the scorching Arizona summers. Over time, though, this textured surface may begin to deteriorate, flaking or chipping, which not only ruins the look of your pool area but can also become a safety hazard.
The Traditional Approach: Complete Resurfacing
Resurfacing involves grinding off the entire old surface of the deck and applying a new texture. While this method can certainly refresh the deck’s appearance and functionality, it comes with several drawbacks:
– High Costs: The process of grinding and retexturing is labor-intensive and costly.
– Time-Consuming: This method can take significant time, during which the pool area may be unusable.
– Potential Overkill: Grinding down a surface that may still have intact areas is often unnecessary and wasteful.
– Reduce Longevity: New texture coatings will rarely bond to the deck as well at it did when the deck was first constructed. Grinding off areas that are perfectly fine will reduce longevity of those areas.
A Better Alternative: Pool Deck Restore’s System
Pool Deck Restore introduces a restoration system that targets only the damaged sections of your pool deck, leaving undamaged areas intact. This approach is not only cost-effective but also minimally invasive. Here’s how it works:
1. Power Wash to Remove Failing Areas: The process begins with a thorough cleaning using a high-pressure power wash to clear all debris and failing material, preparing the deck for precise repairs.
2. Repair with Acrylic Lacing: Specialized acrylic lacing is then used to fill in cracks and chips, seamlessly restoring the integrity and appearance of the cool deck texture without a complete overhaul.
3. Repaint and Seal: The final step involves repainting and sealing the deck with high-quality acrylic deck paint, enhancing its look and adding a protective layer to guard against future damage.
Benefits of Pool Deck Restore’s Method
– Cost Efficiency: This method focuses only on damaged areas, significantly reducing material and labor costs.
– Time Savings: Less extensive than a full resurfacing, this approach allows for quicker completion, meaning less downtime for your pool area.
– Conservation of Resources: By not discarding undamaged deck areas, this method is more environmentally friendly and less wasteful.
