Paver Pool Deck and Coping Inspiration
Nothing compares to the experience of basking in the sun in the pool or unwinding poolside after the sun sets. It’s no surprise the best part of your summer lifestyle should be spent next to a cool, refreshing body of water. Thankfully, Unilock has a ton of pool coping ideas that will guarantee your backyard pool deck will make a splash even before you enter the water.
Designing your pool deck as an extension of your home
When designing your paver pool deck, consider the theme you are hoping to articulate through your design that will capture the elegance of the space. Whether it be a modern or a traditional property, choose the products that you feel will capture the look and feel of home’s architecture. Our EnduraColor™ collection features an array of distinct surface textures, are built highly durable, and resist the appearance of fading over time.
Identifying the safest pool deck paver
When choosing the right product. one thing that you should consider is surface texture. It’s important to choose a paver that has a safe, non-slip texture to avoid any slips by the pool. Light-toned colors with non-abrasive edges for pool coping (the edge closest to the water) are an added touch that also protect feet from getting too hot. Darker inset borders that help define the pool edge is another feature to consider.
Pool lighting for safety at night
When using or maneuvering around the deck at night, lighting is a terrific method `to highlight the surface texture and to provide an additional level of safety surrounding the pool. Consider the flow of traffic around your pool deck and include appropriate lighting in your plans.
Entertain with pool side features
An empty pool deck is a not-so-fun pool deck. Design your pool deck to complement hours of summer fun in the sun. Consider adding a water feature to the pool area for visual and auditory appeal; after all, nothing beats floating away on a sunny, warm afternoon to the soothing sounds of a quiet waterfall.
Accounting for size, elevation and proper drainage
There’s more to designing a pool deck than meets the eye. If you have the opportunity to plan your design before the pool is installed, you will want to make sure you address certain things like size, elevation and drainage. If your pool deck is at a different elevation than the rest of your yard, make sure to plan steps, multi-level zones, and retaining walls accordingly. Finally, consider installing drainage channels around the perimeter to mitigate flooding.ure and to provide an additional level of safety surrounding the pool. Consider the flow of traffic around your pool deck and include appropriate lighting in your plans.
Protecting your pool deck pavers with sealed products
Not only do pool deck pavers incur changing weather patterns, but chemicals like chlorine can eat away at the surface of your pavers over time. Only Unilock offers EasyClean™, an integral stain resistance technology that helps protect the surface of pavers while enhancing the overall surface color. This also works wonders against pesky stains from barbecue spills, wine and grease, which can be easily cleaned with a stiff broom, soap and water solution.
