Your swimming pool should be one of the most enjoyable areas of your home. But when the concrete surrounding your pool becomes stained, weathered, difficult to maintain, or simply outdated, it can detract from the appearance of the entire outdoor space.
Flohr Coatings provides professional swimming pool deck coatings in Huntsville, Madison, Hampton Cove, Owens Cross Roads, Guntersville, and surrounding North Alabama communities. Our exclusive Resiflex coating system transforms ordinary concrete into an attractive, durable surface designed to withstand the demanding environment around a swimming pool.
Whether you are updating an older pool deck or putting the finishing touches on a new outdoor living space, Flohr Coatings can help create a pool deck that looks great, performs well, and is easier to maintain.
Concrete is an excellent structural material, but unfinished concrete is not always the ideal finished surface for a swimming pool environment.
Pool decks are constantly exposed to conditions that can affect their appearance and performance, including:
Over time, these conditions can leave concrete looking worn, stained or outdated.
A professionally installed coating system provides a finished layer over the concrete while creating an opportunity to improve both the appearance and functionality of the pool deck.
Flohr Coatings' Resiflex system is designed to provide a decorative, non-skid, waterproof, stain-resistant and mildew-resistant surface suitable for demanding residential and commercial applications.
The condition of the concrete, surface preparation, application process and experience of the installer all play important roles in the finished result. Flohr Coatings specializes in professional concrete coating solutions for residential and commercial properties throughout the greater Huntsville area.
Our focus is straightforward: transform ordinary concrete surfaces into attractive, functional spaces using a professionally installed coating system designed for real-world use.
With our exclusive Resiflex coating system, homeowners can improve pool decks as well as other concrete areas throughout their property.
That means if your project extends beyond the pool, we can also discuss coating options for adjoining patios, porches, walkways, garages and other suitable concrete surfaces.
Every project begins with the existing surface.
We evaluate the condition of the concrete and identify areas that may require attention before the coating system is installed.
Surface preparation is one of the most important stages of any concrete coating project.
The concrete must be properly prepared so the coating system can bond to the substrate.
Rather than simply applying material over an existing surface, our process is designed to create the proper foundation for the coating system.
Once the surface has been prepared, the Resiflex system is professionally applied to create the decorative finish and performance characteristics selected for the project.
The completed pool deck becomes a decorative, non-skid, waterproof, stain-resistant and mildew-resistant surface designed for the unique demands of an outdoor pool environment.
Our team will also provide appropriate information regarding curing and when the surface can return to normal use.
If your existing concrete pool deck looks tired, stained or outdated, a new coating can provide a significant visual transformation.
Renovating the pool itself? Updating the surrounding deck at the same time can help ensure the entire pool area has a fresh, cohesive appearance.
Building a new pool provides the opportunity to plan the finished deck surface as part of the overall outdoor design. Rather than leaving the surrounding concrete unfinished, homeowners can incorporate a decorative coating into the project from the beginning.
Pool deck coatings can also be coordinated with improvements to nearby patios, porches and other concrete surfaces to create a more consistent outdoor environment.
With the right preparation and professional coating system, it can become an attractive part of your outdoor living environment while providing the durability and performance characteristics needed around a swimming pool. Flohr Coatings' exclusive Resiflex coating system creates a decorative, non-skid, waterproof, stain-resistant and mildew-resistant surface designed to transform ordinary concrete into a finished showpiece. Whether you're renovating an existing swimming pool, updating an aging concrete deck, building a new pool or improving a lake home, we'd be happy to discuss the possibilities for your property.
Traction is especially important around swimming pools. Water from swimmers, splashing and normal pool use can make smooth surfaces slippery. The Resiflex coating system provides a textured, non-skid surface designed to improve traction around the pool. While any wet surface should be treated with appropriate caution, choosing a textured coating can create a surface better suited for a pool environment than smooth or polished finishes.
Pool decks are regularly exposed to water. Resiflex provides a waterproof coating over the properly prepared concrete surface, helping protect the underlying substrate from continual exposure to moisture. This makes the system particularly well suited for swimming pools, patios and other outdoor areas where water is common.
Bare concrete is porous and can absorb substances that lead to difficult stains. Pool decks can be exposed to everything from food and beverages to dirt, leaves, sunscreen and other materials brought into the pool area. The stain-resistant characteristics of Resiflex help make routine cleanup and maintenance easier while keeping the pool deck looking better over time.
North Alabama's warm, humid climate can create favorable conditions for mildew around outdoor surfaces. Swimming pool areas are particularly susceptible because moisture is regularly present. Resiflex is mildew resistant, providing another important advantage for pool decks and other exterior concrete surfaces.
A pool deck needs to handle much more than occasional foot traffic. Chairs move across it. Children play on it. Guests gather around it. Pool equipment is placed on it. Outdoor furniture, grills and accessories may remain on the surface throughout much of the year. Flohr's coating system is designed to create a durable finished surface capable of standing up to regular use while maintaining its decorative appearance.
Performance is important, but your pool deck should also look good. A professionally coated pool deck can dramatically improve the overall appearance of the swimming pool and surrounding outdoor living space. Instead of looking like unfinished concrete, the deck becomes an intentional design element that helps tie together the pool, home, patio, landscaping and outdoor entertainment areas.
Flohr Coatings provides concrete coating solutions for both residential and commercial applications. In addition to private residential swimming pools, our coating systems may be appropriate for pool areas associated with properties such as:
Commercial projects can have different requirements than residential installations, so Flohr Coatings can evaluate the specific surface, environment and intended use when discussing the appropriate solution.
Below are a few before and after pictures of some of the projects we have done for customers.
Yes. Existing concrete pool decks are common candidates for resurfacing with a coating system. The condition of the concrete must first be evaluated, and appropriate surface preparation is necessary before the new coating is installed.
Resiflex provides a textured, non-skid surface designed to improve traction, making it well suited for areas such as swimming pool decks. As with any surface around a swimming pool, appropriate care should still be taken when the surface is wet.

You aren't simply changing the color of the concrete. You're creating a finished surface designed specifically for the way the area is actually used.
That distinction is especially important around swimming pools, where water, bare feet, outdoor furniture, food, drinks, landscaping debris and constant exposure to the elements are all part of normal use.
The right coating system helps turn ordinary concrete into an integral part of the outdoor living environment.
Older concrete can become discolored, stained and visually inconsistent after years of exposure to weather and regular use. Other homeowners simply inherit a pool deck finish that no longer fits the appearance they want for their home. Applying a decorative concrete coating can provide an opportunity to completely change the character of the space. Proper preparation is especially important when working with existing concrete. Before applying the coating system, the Flohr Coatings team evaluates the surface and prepares it for the new coating.
The goal is not simply to cover the old concrete. The goal is to create a properly prepared foundation for a finished coating system designed for long-term performance.
