How Do You Resurface Concrete Around a Pool?
Resurfacing concrete around a pool involves several steps. Below is an outline of these procedures:
Clean the Surface: To start resurfacing, begin by thoroughly cleaning the area surrounding your pool using either a pressure washer or stiff bristled brush to eliminate dirt, debris, and any contaminants such as mold spores from its surface.
Prepare the Surface: Once again, to help ensure resurfacing material adheres securely to concrete, prepare its surface by etching it using a solution of muriatic acid and water. This will aid the adhesion process between concrete and resurfacing material.
Apply Resurfacing Material: Use a trowel or squeegee to apply the resurfacing material evenly across the concrete surface, working in small sections until all material has been distributed evenly.
Texture the surface: For an anti-slip surface around your pool, texture the concrete with a broom or other texturing tool to achieve slip resistance. At this stage you may also add decorative elements or patterns if desired.
Allow for Drying and Curing: Once the resurfacing material is applied, allow it to dry and cure according to manufacturer instructions – typically taking several days in which you should refrain from using your pool.
With these steps, resurfacing the concrete around your pool can create a beautiful, durable and slip-resistant surface for years to come. Resurfacing gives your pool area a fresh new look without the expense of completely replacing its concrete. More information can be found on the home page about our company and services.
