From Peeling Paint to a Safe, Stunning Pool Deck

A pool deck should be more than just functional—it should be safe, durable, and visually appealing. Unfortunately, many homeowners discover that low-quality concrete paint doesn’t hold up in outdoor environments. That was the case for these homeowners, whose painted pool deck had already faded in color and begun peeling after only a short time.

They turned to United Floor Coatings, who transformed their worn surface into a long-lasting, slip-resistant pool deck designed to withstand the elements.

Why Concrete Paint Fails on Pool Decks

Concrete paint is often marketed as a budget-friendly way to refresh a pool deck, but it’s not engineered for heavy exposure to water, sun, and foot traffic. Common issues include:

• Fading from UV exposure – Sunlight quickly dulls painted surfaces.
• Peeling and flaking – Paint struggles to adhere to porous concrete, especially outdoors.
• Safety concerns – Smooth paint surfaces can become dangerously slippery when wet.
• High maintenance – Repainting is often needed every few years.

For pool areas, these shortcomings not only reduce visual appeal but also create safety hazards for family and guests.

United Floor Coatings’ Professional Process

Instead of patching over the problems, United Floor Coatings delivered a professional-grade solution built for performance and longevity:

1. Grinding to Fresh Concrete – The failing paint was completely removed, exposing a clean surface for proper adhesion.
2. Three-Coat Polyurethane System – Designed for strength and chemical resistance, polyurethane creates a protective barrier that withstands water and UV rays.
3. Anti-Slip Finish – Added traction ensures a safer surface around the pool, even when wet.

This method transformed the faded, peeling deck into a beautiful, safe, and easy-to-maintain outdoor living space.

Benefits of Polyurethane Coatings for Pool Decks

Choosing a professional polyurethane coating provides long-term advantages that DIY paint simply can’t match:

• Weather Resistance: Withstands UV rays, chlorine, and constant water exposure.
• Slip Resistance: Safer for children, guests, and families enjoying the pool.
• Lasting Beauty: Retains its finish and color far longer than paint.
• Low Maintenance: Easy to clean, no constant reapplications required.

The result? A pool deck that is both beautiful and functional—enhancing curb appeal and outdoor enjoyment.

The Results

What was once an unattractive, unsafe surface is now a durable, slip-resistant pool deck built to last. The homeowners can now enjoy their pool area without worrying about peeling paint or slippery surfaces.
