Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles destroy traditional pool deck materials within 3-5 years. Our thermal-shock-resistant epoxy system expands and contracts with temperature swings while staying cool underfoot during humid summers.
For backyard pools in Eden Prairie and Edina, we incorporate reflective ceramic beads to reduce surface heat by up to 15°F. The textured finish provides traction when wet—critical around diving boards and slides. We color-match popular coping stones like Minnesota limestone or St. Cloud granite.
In commercial settings (like Plymouth aquatic centers), we add antimicrobial protection against athlete's foot fungus. All installations include proper slope verification to prevent ice dams at drain points during winter.

Our Process
- 01 Step 1: Acid wash to remove calcium deposits
- 02 Step 2: Apply crack-isolation membrane
- 03 Step 3: Install cool-surface base coat with ceramic microspheres
- 04 Step 4: Broadcast UV-stable quartz aggregate for texture
Benefits
- No hot-spot burns on bare feet
- Prevents freeze-thaw spalling
- Resists chlorine deterioration
- Hides existing deck stains
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this handle snowplows in winter?
Our 40-mil system withstands plastic shovel blades and rubber-tipped plows commonly used on Maple Grove pool decks.
Can you repair existing deck cracks?
Yes, we rout and fill cracks with flexible sealant before coating—especially important for 20+ year-old pools in Bloomington.
Is it compatible with heated decks?
Absolutely, we've installed over radiant systems in luxury Minnetonka homes without compromising heat transfer.
