Although there are numerous options available for pool decks including wood, stone, stamped concrete and poured concrete; many pool owners are opting for pool deck pavers.
Pool deck pavers are a great option; they are extremely durable, resist slipping and are available in numerous colors and textures that can duplicate the look of natural stone. Pavers are available in various interlocking designs or they can be held in position by a rigid outer perimeter. Pool deck pavers can be laid on a bed of sand or directly over a poured concrete base. Let’s have a look at the features and benefits of using pavers around your pool.
Low maintenance:
The material used to manufacture the pavers is dense and non-porous; this means they are very resistant to algae growth that is often a problem around well environments. The material does not change color when it is exposed to pool chemicals including chlorine. There is no need for heavy scrubbing; all that is needed to keep the deck around your pool looking great is sweeping and a rinse to eliminate debris.
Durable:
One of the biggest benefits for the homeowner is the durability of pavers and with durability comes long term affordability. The initial low cost makes the material affordable and being as it is so durable the homeowner is guaranteed great value for money. Pavers can withstand many years of use and exposure to all kinds of weather.
Spot replacement:
Pool deck pavers make it possible to get at any plumbing or electrical installations that run under the deck. If there is ever a reason to perform repairs the pavers can be lifted out and replaced after the work has been completed.
Anyone with a pool will be concerned with safety. Pool deck pavers are slip resistant and even when wet they offer good traction. Pavers are available in many different surface textures, most of which are soft on the feet.
