Acrylic Swimming Pool Decking
If you want to give your old pool new life, spray-on acrylic decking can be a good choice. At Plaster Tech, we offer acrylic decking services to add texture and beauty to your pool.
What is Spray on Decking?
Spray-on acrylic decking is a material that adheres to the concrete deck of your pool to add protection and beautify the look of your pool. The decking spray is typically made from a mixture of Portland cement (made from limestone and clay), sand, and modified acrylic resin.
What Are The Benefits of Acrylic Decking?
There are many reasons to choose spray on acrylic decking to coat your pool deck, including:
- Feels cool to the touch
- Cleans up easily
- Non-slip surface
- Non-porous surface
- Many colors and styles available
- Mold and mildew resistant
- Creates a waterproof seal
Spray-on decking provides a great solution to enhance concrete surfaces. Regardless of the age or condition of your pool deck, our team of professional technicians can bring your old concrete back to life.
How is Acrylic Decking Applied?
Applying spray on decking is a relatively straightforward process that can help protect and enhance the appearance of your outdoor space. Here’s how:
- Preparation – Before you begin spraying, it’s essential to prepare the decking properly. Start by sweeping away any dirt, debris, or leaves from the surface. You may also need a pressure washer to remove stubborn stains or mildew. Allow the decking to dry completely before proceeding.
- Choose the Right Spray – Select a spray specifically designed for decking. These sprays often come in ready-to-use containers and are formulated to protect wood from UV rays, moisture, and other outdoor elements. Make sure to read the product label for any specific instructions or precautions.
- Protect Surrounding Areas – Cover any nearby plants, furniture, or other items that you don’t want to get overspray on. You can use plastic sheeting or drop cloths for this purpose.
- Test the Spray – Before applying the spray to the entire decking surface, it’s a good idea to test it in a small, inconspicuous area to ensure that you’re satisfied with the results and that it doesn’t cause any adverse reactions.
- Apply the Spray – Once you’re ready to begin, hold the spray nozzle about 6 to 8 inches away from the decking surface. Apply an even coat of spray, working in small sections at a time. Be sure to overlap each pass slightly to ensure thorough coverage. Avoid spraying too heavily, as this can lead to drips or pooling.
- Work Methodically – Work methodically across the entire decking surface, moving from one end to the other in a consistent pattern. Pay extra attention to any areas that are particularly exposed to sunlight or moisture, as these may require additional protection.
- Allow to Dry – Once you’ve finished applying the spray, let the decking dry completely before walking on it or placing any furniture or accessories back onto the surface. Drying times can vary depending on factors such as temperature and humidity, so be sure to consult the product label for guidance.
- Clean Up – After spraying, clean the spray equipment according to the manufacturer’s instructions to prevent clogs or damage.
- Maintenance – Depending on your specific product, you may need to reapply the spray periodically to maintain optimal protection and appearance. Check the product label for recommendations on reapplication frequency.
By following these steps, you can effectively apply spray on decking to help protect it from the elements and keep it looking great for years to come.
