If you’ve ever stepped out onto a bare concrete pool deck in July, you know the feeling: that frantic, tiptoeing sprint to the water to keep your feet from burning. In the thin air of the Front Range, the sun doesn't just shine; it bakes. Bare concrete can easily reach temperatures that are uncomfortable—or even dangerous—for bare feet and paws.
At Twin Brothers Coatings, we believe your pool area should be an oasis, not an obstacle course of hot pavement.
The Thermal Advantage
Bare concrete is a heat sink. It absorbs the intense UV radiation we get at 5,000+ feet and holds onto it long after the sun goes down. A professional coating system changes the way your deck interacts with the sun.
By utilizing a full-broadcast flake system, we create a textured surface that actually reduces the amount of direct surface area in contact with your skin. Combined with our 85% solids polyaspartic topcoat, the system reflects more solar energy than dark, porous concrete. The result? A surface that stays significantly cooler under the afternoon sun, allowing you to walk comfortably from your lounge chair to the water.
Safety Beyond the Temperature
A pool deck is the ultimate "wet zone," and safety is just as important as comfort. Bare concrete can become surprisingly slick when wet, especially if it has been smoothed over time or has algae growth in the pores.
As twin brother and co-owner Alex always says:
A pool deck has to do two things perfectly: it has to be safe to run on and comfortable to stand on. We engineer our outdoor coatings with a specific texture that provides a reliable grip for wet feet without being abrasive or painful to walk on.
Chemical and UV Resistance
Pool decks face a unique double-threat: constant exposure to harsh pool chemicals (like chlorine or salt systems) and the unrelenting Colorado sun.
No Yellowing: Unlike standard epoxies, our polyaspartic topcoat is UV-stable. It won't turn yellow or become brittle and "chalky" after a few seasons of high-altitude exposure.
Chemical Shield: Our coatings are non-porous. This means chlorine and salt can’t soak into the concrete to cause pitting or white mineral stains.
Maintenance and Beauty
Because our systems provide approximately 95% coverage with vinyl flakes, they do an incredible job of hiding the water spots and sand that naturally accumulate around a pool. And when the party is over, maintenance is a breeze—a simple rinse with a garden hose is usually all it takes to keep your "Paradise" looking brand new.
By choosing a professional coating, you're investing in a pool deck that is cooler, safer, and built to last as long as the memories you make on it.
