Rethinking the Pool Deck
Your pool deck should be more than a surface — it’s where family gathers, kids play, and friends relax. The material you choose has to balance beauty, safety, and durability. Unfortunately, many traditional options don’t hold up. Concrete cracks, natural stone stains and both require constant sealing. That’s where porcelain pavers stand out.
The Problems with Common Deck Materials
- Concrete: Prone to cracking, fading, and permanent stains.
- Natural Stone (travertine, limestone, bluestone): Porous and requires sealing; vulnerable to rust, chlorine, and saltwater damage.
- Wood: Aesthetic but high-maintenance and short-lived near water.
Porcelain Pavers: The Modern Solution
- Slip-Resistance: Engineered with textured finishes ideal for wet areas.
- Chemical & Stain Resistance: Non-porous, so chlorine, sunscreen, and rust don’t absorb.
- No Sealing Required: Unlike stone or concrete, porcelain stays beautiful with no coatings.
- Cooler Underfoot: More comfortable than darker concrete or some stones in hot climates.
- Design Versatility: Large format slabs (24×48) create sleek, resort-style looks.
Maintenance Made Simple
Cleaning porcelain pool decks is easy:
- Light rinse for dirt and dust
- Diluted bleach for mildew or dirt buildup
- Goof Off for rust stains
No sealing, scrubbing, or specialized treatments required.
