Will My Pool Deck Get Slippery When Wet?

United States – June 11, 2026 / DuraTex Concrete Coatings /

You can get a pool deck that helps maintain traction when wet with a professionally installed coating from DuraTex Concrete Coatings. Pool decks are made to get wet, so the surface needs to handle splashes, bare feet, chlorine, standing water, towels, kids, guests, pets, outdoor furniture, and everyday Texas backyard activity without becoming slick or uncomfortable. DuraTex Concrete Coatings serves the Dallas-Fort Worth area with Penntek polyurea and polyaspartic coating systems designed for strength, UV resistance, flexibility, color retention, and long-term durability in real poolside conditions.

Around a pool, traction is one of the most important parts of the surface. Bare concrete, standard paint, and basic sealers can struggle with constant sun, water, chlorine, and foot traffic. Over time, these surfaces may fade, wear down, become slick, or need repeated reapplication. Epoxy is also not ideal for pool decks because it can become slippery when wet, fade in direct sunlight, and yellow outdoors. DuraTex uses Penntek’s 99% pure polyurea system, which is designed for outdoor spaces and built to keep texture and traction through daily exposure to water and UV rays.

Texas pool decks face intense heat, sun, chlorine, water, outdoor furniture, splash zones, and frequent movement from family and guests. DuraTex’s coating system bonds deeply to concrete, resists moisture intrusion, and helps avoid peeling, chalking, fading, and yellowing. It is described as 4X stronger than epoxy, 2X more flexible than epoxy and cheap polyurea, UV stable, non-porous, spill-proof, hygienic, antibacterial, and antimicrobial.

The DuraTex process starts with certified installers preparing and profiling the concrete for proper bonding. Then the pool deck is customized with the right texture and traction for the way the backyard is used. The system can be installed in one day and is backed by a lifetime warranty against peeling, fading, and yellowing. DuraTex serves Fort Worth, Arlington, Weatherford, Aledo, Keller, Mansfield, Southlake, Grapevine, Denton, Granbury, Tarrant County, Parker County, and surrounding DFW communities.
