Pool Deck FAQ:

How quickly can a pool deck be used after applying nano X polyaspartic resin?

The Nano X polyaspartic resin system is designed to offer a rapid turnaround compared to traditional pool deck coatings.

What are the main differences between traditional cool deck overlays and the Tru Alpha Nano X Polyaspartic resin system for pool decks?

Traditional cool deck overlays are typically made from a cement-based mixture designed to reflect sunlight and stay cool to the touch. These overlays offer a textured surface that helps reduce slipping around pool areas, providing a basic level of safety and comfort.


In contrast, the Tru Alpha Nano X Polyaspartic resin system represents a significant advancement in pool deck technology. Unlike traditional overlays, Nano X is a state-of-the-art chip coating system that delivers exceptional durability, UV resistance, and chemical resistance. Its advanced formulation ensures that it maintains its appearance and performance under harsh environmental conditions, including exposure to sunlight and pool chemicals.


The Nano X system also boasts a rapid curing time, allowing for quicker project completion and reduced downtime. Additionally, it offers extensive customization options, including a variety of colors and textures, which not only enhance the functionality of your pool deck but also elevate its aesthetic appeal. This means you can achieve a personalized look that complements your outdoor space while enjoying the benefits of a long-lasting, high-performance surface.


In summary, while traditional cool deck overlays provide basic functionality and cooling, the Tru Alpha Nano X Polyaspartic resin system offers superior durability, customization, and resistance to environmental factors. This makes Nano X an ideal choice for both enhancing the look and extending the lifespan of your pool deck. To learn more about our NanoX Pool System, click here!

What is the best coating for a pool deck?

The best coating for a pool deck is a Nano X Polyaspartic or Hybrid Epoxy system, designed for durability, UV stability, and chemical resistance. Unlike acrylic overlays or traditional cool deck coatings, these advanced resin systems create a seamless, non-porous surface that resists moisture, chlorine, and fading caused by Florida’s intense sunlight. Tru-Grit’s Polyaspartic coatings also cure quickly and can be customized with Tru-Flake color blends to achieve the desired texture, color, and slip resistance — making them ideal for pool decks, patios, and lanais.

What is the average cost to resurface a pool deck?

The average cost to resurface a pool deck in Florida typically ranges between $6.00 per square foot up to $9.00 per square foot, depending on the size of the area, the condition of the existing concrete, and the type of coating system selected. Factors such as custom color blends, decorative finishes, and additional slip-resistant additives can influence the final price. Because every pool deck has different needs and preparation requirements, Tru-Grit Flooring provides fast, free quotes to ensure accurate, project-specific pricing.

Should I epoxy my pool deck?

While epoxy is commonly used for garages and indoor applications, Nano X Polyaspartic or Hybrid Epoxy systems are the better choice for outdoor pool decks. Traditional epoxy coatings can yellow or peel under UV exposure, while Polyaspartic systems are formulated to withstand Florida’s heat, humidity, and direct sunlight. These coatings provide long-term durability, color stability, and resistance to pool chemicals — ensuring your pool deck stays beautiful and low-maintenance for years to come.

Does pool deck paint need to be sealed?

Yes, pool deck paint or acrylic coatings often require sealing to maintain appearance and protection. However, Tru-Grit’s Nano X Polyaspartic coatings eliminate the need for frequent resealing. Their chemical bond and UV-resistant properties create a dense, non-porous surface that protects against fading, peeling, and moisture intrusion. This makes them a more durable and cost-effective alternative to painted or acrylic surfaces that degrade faster in Florida’s harsh climate.

What is the best concrete coating for a pool deck?

The best concrete coating for a pool deck is a Nano X Polyaspartic system or Hybrid Epoxy coating. These advanced coatings are engineered for superior UV resistance, flexibility, and chemical protection — all crucial for Florida’s climate. Unlike acrylic or cool deck overlays that can fade and peel over time, Polyaspartic coatings create a seamless, non-porous finish that resists heat, moisture, and chlorine exposure. They also allow for customizable finishes using Tru-Flake color blends, providing both slip resistance and an attractive, long-lasting appearance.

Can you resurface a concrete pool deck?

Certainly, concrete pool decks can be resurfaced by employing mechanical grinding and advanced resin systems such as Tru-Grit’s Nano X Polyaspartic or Hybrid Epoxy coatings. The resurfacing process generally includes mechanically profiling the surface, fixing any cracks or damaged sections, and applying the chosen coating system to enhance both appearance and functionality. This method reinforces the existing concrete and offers a durable, low-maintenance finish that surpasses traditional overlays and paints. Tru-Grit Flooring’s experts assess the condition of each pool deck to suggest the most suitable resurfacing system for enduring results.

How can I make my concrete pool deck look better?

Homeowners looking to enhance the look of their concrete pool deck can select from a range of decorative color chips, available in both our free and custom options. Incorporating texture or slip-resistant additives ensures safer footing in wet areas. Additionally, we offer color customizations for an additional fee, allowing you to coordinate your pool deck with patios, driveways, or outdoor living spaces for a unified appearance.

Is resurfacing possible during Florida’s rainy season?

Yes, resurfacing a pool deck is possible during Florida’s rainy season, but careful scheduling and substrate conditions are essential. Polyaspartic and hybrid epoxy systems cure relatively quickly, which reduces exposure time to moisture, but the surface must remain dry during application and curing. Our team monitors forecasts closely and may adjust timing to avoid rain or high humidity that could interfere with adhesion or curing.

Are Tru-Grit’s pool deck coatings resistant to pool chemicals and saltwater?

Yes, when properly formulated and applied, Tru-Grit’s Nano X Polyaspartic and hybrid epoxy coatings can generally resist common pool chemicals (chlorine, bromine, sanitizers) and salt exposure. The coatings form a dense, non-porous barrier that limits absorption of chemicals, minimizing degradation. That said, long-term chemical resistance depends on precise mixing ratios, thorough surface preparation, and using the right topcoat additives to protect the finish.

Is the surface temperature cooler to walk on compared to bare concrete or other coatings?

Often, yes—particularly with lighter-colored or reflective flake mixtures. Certain specialized coatings assert they can lower surface temperatures by around 20–30%, depending on their pigment and reflective characteristics. Although no coating can entirely prevent heat, choosing the right color and reflectivity can notably decrease heat accumulation compared to untreated concrete or darker overlays.
