The Dangers Of Overheated Pool Decks
Going to the pool is a long-beloved summer activity, but it’s also one associated with hissed “Ow”s and trying your best to avoid contact with the blisteringly hot concrete pool deck. While you can’t fry an egg on an overheated pool deck, you can burn yourself.
The risk of burns is higher for seniors, people with neuropathy, and young children.
● Seniors are more prone to falls and have a more difficult time getting up. This exposes
their skin to the heat longer, making burns more likely.
● People with neuropathy experience decreased sensation, which means they may not
even notice that the pool deck is too hot and burning them.
● Young children have thinner skin than adults. They also don’t have quick enough
reflexes to draw back from a surface that is too hot, which makes them more susceptible
to more severe burns.
In addition to the risk of burns, overheated pool decks also make slip-and-fall injuries more likely. It’s common knowledge that you shouldn’t run around pools (well, except for children). However, if the pool deck is burning you, you may not be as careful as you otherwise would. You may end up slipping, falling, and getting seriously injured.
You can opt for wearing flip-flops on your pool deck and keeping them close by the pool so that you can easily slip them on when you’re done. You could also set towels down, or hose the pool deck down with cold water before jumping in. However, the most efficient, painless option to a cool pool deck is to have a cool pool deck coating installed.
Enjoy A Cool Pool Deck All Summer Long
Cool pool deck coatings do just what the name implies: they cool your pool deck down so that it is both safer and more comfortable to walk on. They can resurface your bare or existing deck at an affordable price point with remarkable easy and quick installation. Plus, they come with a 10- year commercial warranty. Cool pool deck coatings can cool your pool deck by as much as 38%. They do this by reducing heat build-up. You can customize your cool pool deck coating to whatever color you please by
mixing in acrylic paint, but to ensure that your pool deck is as cool as possible, you’ll want to stick to the light colors that reflect light and heat, rather than absorbing it, like dark colors can.

Not only do cool pool deck coatings keep your deck at a cooler temperature, they also make your deck more slip-resistant. They do this with an orange-peel like texture – textured enough to provide traction, but not so textured that it cuts bare feet and gives you pool toes.
Because of this texture, cool pool deck coatings are also more sanitary than other options on the market. This is because other coatings that rely on deeper crevices can end up attracting dirt buildup. Cool pool deck coatings don’t do this, and are easy to keep clean. All you need is soap and water to wipe them down, and voila!
