Pool Decks in Atlanta
Atlanta Pool Decks can be some of the most dangerous areas of a property.
There are a few reasons why a pool deck can be or become slippery.
Wrong Tile Installed
Many designers believe they are installing a slip-resistant tile, when in fact, the tile is actually very slippery and dangerous for pool deck installation. Designers should consider slip testing the tile before installation.
Wrong Sealer Installed
Many times when we get calls about a slippery pool deck, our first question is whether or not the area has been previously sealed. Many companies come out and will seal your travertine pool deck without thinking about the slip resistance that the sealer will offer. These pool decks now need to be stripped of the previous sealer before they can be sealed with our StopSLIP Sealer.
Improper Maintenance
Many pool decks become slippery over time due to improper cleaning. Over the years, a pool deck is exposed to contaminates such as chlorine, lotions, sun-tan lotions, rain water, sprinkler systems, etc. These areas need to be properly degreased before the pool deck can be safe again.
