With the Gold Coast climate, pools are used year-round, which makes choosing the right concrete finish for your pool surrounds especially important. It's not just about looks — safety, heat and durability all need to be considered.
Concrete is durable, cost-effective compared to natural stone, and can be finished in a range of textures and colours to suit both slip resistance and style requirements.
Smooth, plain concrete or dark colours around a pool can become both slippery when wet and uncomfortably hot underfoot during summer, so these are generally best avoided for pool surrounds in our climate.
Pool surrounds need to be poured with the correct fall so water drains away from the pool edge rather than pooling, which helps prevent slip hazards and staining over time.
