In the time we’ve written these blogs we’ve told you about the most common places you might find epoxy chip floors. After all, non-slip epoxy floors are the perfect option when people are looking for garage floor coatings, since they can be cleaned up easily yet still protect people from slipping on rain or melted snow that the vehicle brings in on its fenders and tires. Industrial  and restaurant kitchens are another common place you’ll find epoxy floors, because the rush of getting food out to the customers often causes spills that could lead to serious injury if not for the slip-resistant epoxy flooring.

There’s another common place that non-slip epoxy flooring is popular, but it’s not inside. Pools decks are a great place to have custom epoxy applied here in New Jersey, and it’s easy to see why. Let’s take a look at three very important reasons you should consider an epoxy pool deck.

NON-SLIP SURFACE

The most obvious reason is also the most important. Pool decks get wet as people splash water out of the pool, or they bring water with them as they exit the pool. This creates a safety hazard, because slipping by the pool not only means landing on hard concrete but also having to contend with the dangers associated with falling into the pool after possibly hitting one’s head.

That’s where non-slip epoxy flooring comes in. Instead of standard, slick concrete, we can apply between four and five layers of protection that will keep your pool deck looking great while also providing slip-resistance that most standard pool decks don’t offer.

Will these non-slip epoxy floors surrounding your pool allow you to race around it? Not quite. The age-old adage “no running by the pool” still applies, but a non-slip pool deck surface will help prevent many slips and falls by the pool that could be life-threatening.

IT FEELS BETTER THAN CONCRETE

There’s a reason that most people wear shoes when they’re on concrete: concrete hurts! Even if our feet were meant to be barefoot, we’re meant to be barefoot on softer surfaces, not something so hard. Concrete can also be abrasive on the feet, causing feet to feel raw after walking on it too much.

But people don’t wear shoes when they’re swimming, which means that making the concrete softer is the best option. Our pool deck coatings are easy on the feet, giving them a smooth (yet still non-slip) surface while also padding the feet from the painful surface that is untreated concrete.

IT LOOKS WONDERFUL

Pools offer great exercise, and they’re also a lot of fun whether for just your family or also for your friends. Since they’re such a large part of your yard, you want to make the pool and the surrounding deck look as nice as possible. That’s where our micro-chip epoxy flooring comes in, offering unlimited color options that can match your pool and your home.
