Professional Pool Deck Coating & Resurfacing
Pool Deck Coating: Safety, Comfort, and Durability
Your pool deck is more than just a functional surface—it's a critical safety component and major aesthetic feature that directly impacts guest experience, property value, and liability exposure. Whether you're managing a luxury resort, HOA community pool, water park, or residential property, the condition and performance of your pool deck coating system affects every aspect of your aquatic facility.
At Moorhouse Coating, we specialize in advanced pool deck coating systems that address the unique challenges of aquatic environments: constant water exposure, aggressive pool chemicals, intense UV radiation, barefoot traffic, and safety requirements. Our cool-to-touch, slip-resistant coatings transform dangerous, worn concrete into safe, attractive surfaces that enhance both safety and aesthetics while withstanding years of harsh pool environment exposure.
Advanced Pool Deck Coating Benefits
Safety Performance
- Superior slip resistance: Coefficient of friction ratings of 0.6-1.0, exceeding ADA wet surface requirements for maximum safety
- Cool-touch technology: Reduces surface temperature by 15-30°F compared to bare concrete, preventing burns and enhancing comfort
- Barefoot-friendly texture: Comfortable surface that provides traction without causing abrasion to bare feet
- Trip hazard elimination: Levels uneven surfaces and fills cracks that pose trip and fall risks
Durability and Protection
- Chlorine and chemical resistance: Engineered polymers resist degradation from pool chemicals, salt systems, and sanitizers
- UV-stable pigments: Colors maintain vibrancy without fading, even under intense Arizona sun exposure
- Waterproof membrane: Prevents water infiltration that causes concrete deterioration, freeze-thaw damage, and structural issues
- 5-8 year lifespan: Professional-grade systems with proven longevity in commercial pool environments
Industry-Specific Pool Deck Solutions
Different pool environments have unique requirements for coating performance, aesthetics, and maintenance. Our pool deck coating systems are tailored to meet the specific demands of your facility type and usage patterns.
Hotels and Resorts
Luxury pool environments demand premium aesthetics combined with exceptional durability. Our resort-quality coatings provide stunning visual appeal with decorative patterns, custom colors, and elegant finishes while withstanding constant high-volume traffic. Cool deck technology enhances guest comfort, and rapid-cure options minimize pool closure time during peak season renovations.
Water Parks and Aquatic Centers
Extreme traffic and harsh chemical exposure require maximum durability. We specify heavy-duty polyurethane systems with aggressive slip resistance for splash zones and wet surfaces. Systems meet ADA accessibility standards and provide years of reliable performance under the most demanding conditions including wave pools, lazy rivers, and splash pads.
HOA Community Pools
Community pools need cost-effective solutions that enhance property values while meeting safety requirements. Our coating systems transform aging concrete into attractive, safe surfaces that increase resident satisfaction and reduce liability. We offer flexible scheduling to minimize resident impact and competitive pricing for multi-pool communities.
Apartment and Condo Complexes
Multi-family properties benefit from coatings that enhance amenity appeal while reducing maintenance costs. We provide durable, attractive finishes that withstand daily use, resist common pool area contaminants like sunscreen and oils, and maintain appearance with minimal upkeep. Our systems help property managers address safety concerns and defer costly concrete replacement.
Country Clubs and Private Clubs
Private clubs require upscale aesthetics that reflect membership prestige. We offer premium decorative finishes including custom-tinted colors, logo integration, and sophisticated patterns that complement architectural design. Our coatings deliver the refined appearance expected by discerning members while providing practical safety and durability.
Healthcare and Therapy Pools
Therapeutic pool environments demand specialized coatings that meet strict accessibility requirements and infection control standards. We provide ADA-compliant slip-resistant surfaces, antimicrobial coating options, and systems compatible with elevated chlorine levels and frequent chemical cleaning required in healthcare settings.
Advanced Pool Deck Coating Materials and Technology
Our pool deck coating systems utilize the latest advances in polymer chemistry, solar-reflective technology, and slip-resistant additives to deliver superior performance in demanding aquatic environments. We select coating materials based on your specific requirements, balancing performance, aesthetics, and budget.
Coating System Types
Acrylic Cool Deck Systems
Premium acrylic coatings with solar-reflective pigments that reduce surface temperature by up to 30°F. These systems provide excellent UV resistance, color retention, and breathability that allows moisture vapor transmission. Ideal for Arizona's intense sun exposure and residential to mid-level commercial applications. Available in 50+ standard colors with custom tinting options.
Polyurethane Heavy-Duty Systems
High-performance polyurethane coatings engineered for maximum durability in high-traffic commercial environments. Superior chemical resistance to chlorine, salt, and pool chemicals. Exceptional abrasion resistance and longer service life than acrylic systems. Specified for water parks, resort pools, and facilities with extreme usage demands.
Epoxy Waterproofing Systems
Moisture-cure epoxy coatings that create an impermeable waterproof membrane, ideal for protecting structural concrete from water infiltration and freeze-thaw damage. Excellent adhesion to concrete and superior chemical resistance. Often used as primer or base coat in multi-layer systems for compromised concrete requiring maximum protection.
Decorative Overlay Systems
Spray-texture or trowel-applied overlays that create decorative patterns including faux stone, tile, or custom designs. Combines aesthetic appeal with functional performance. Thicker mil build hides surface imperfections and provides enhanced crack-bridging properties. Popular for high-end resort and residential applications.
Performance Technologies
Slip-Resistant Additives
We incorporate multiple types of slip-resistant aggregates including aluminum oxide, polymer beads, and rubber granules to achieve optimal traction performance. Aggregate size and distribution are calibrated to meet specific coefficient of friction requirements while maintaining barefoot comfort. Custom texture levels from light residential to aggressive commercial specifications.
Solar-Reflective Pigments
Cool deck technology utilizes infrared-reflective pigments that reflect solar radiation rather than absorbing it as heat. Total Solar Reflectance (TSR) values of 50-70% dramatically reduce surface temperature. Light colors provide maximum cooling effect, but our advanced pigments enable cooler dark colors previously unavailable in pool deck applications.
UV Stabilizers and Inhibitors
Advanced UV stabilizers and hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) protect coating polymers and pigments from UV degradation. These additives prevent chalking, color fading, and polymer breakdown that causes coating failure. Critical for Arizona's intense year-round sun exposure and extended coating service life.
Antimicrobial Protection
Optional antimicrobial additives inhibit growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew on coated surfaces. Particularly valuable for shaded pool areas, splash zones, and therapy pools where organic growth can develop. EPA-registered antimicrobial agents provide long-term protection without leaching into pool water.
