I need to paint a new concrete deck around an in-ground swimming pool. What can I use that will not be affected by the water and chemicals?
Stay away from conventional floor coatings such as epoxies and alkyd floor enamels. While an epoxy would withstand the exposure to the pool water, both of these types of paints would be far too slippery to use around a pool. Since the concrete is new, acrylic concrete stain would be your best choice. It will soak into the concrete to color and protect it without building a film on top that would make it slippery when wet. In addition, acrylic concrete stain is available in light colors that reflect the sun’s rays and keep the concrete cooler on hot summer days.
