Pool Flooring

Having a pool can be a lot of fun. But with great fun comes great responsibility! For example, you must maintain the cleanliness of the water by providing the proper chlorine treatment, and you can’t forget about keeping your filter system in tip-top shape! If you live in cooler climates, a heater is an absolute necessity, unless you want to brave ice-cold waters when you are just trying to enjoy some recreation. But, regardless of the location within which your pool is nested, one responsibility remains unequivocal: no running along the pool’s edges! The water that has seeped onto these surfaces can make them slippery, dangerous hazards. Even though most pools are heavily furnished with no running signs, these precautions are not always enough. Even the most diligent poolside denizen can find him- or herself suddenly slipping and falling when walking around a pool. The hard tile or concrete that perimeters most pools does not help much either—these surfaces can cause serious bodily harm when someone slips and falls onto them unprotected. Thus, whatever the case may be, your pool deck flooring is important. But choosing the right pool flooring is not that easy! There are a lot of responsibilities especially when it comes to installing safe and non-slip pool flooring! This is why FloorMatCompany.com is here to help! Although many pools already have decking, such as ones made of tile or concrete, you may want something that is softer and offers more slip-resistance. But you cannot just use any type of flooring as pool flooring; you need to find something that is not just durable and reliable—you need something that is all that, and is built for withstanding the constant flow of water. We recommend that you use rubberized non-slip pool mats because they are specifically designed to withstand the harshest outdoor conditions, such as constant rain and sunlight. With a wide variety of options available, we are more than certain you will find the right pool flooring for use in your home or public facility.

Pool safety should be the most important priority for any pool owner. There are several things that you should have readily available, like a life-ring, an extension pole, and a sturdy fence (especially if you have little children or pets). Even the surfacing around your pool should have added safety qualities! Because of its great natural grip and its superlative resistance to moisture, rubber is the ideal flooring material for areas that experience continuous safety concerns—especially those related to slip and fall accidents. Even when soaked, rubber pool flooring will nonetheless give its users a significant degree of traction. By using rubber pool deck resurfacing, you will be adding much needed traction and grip around a very wet and oftentimes slippery environment. In addition, our pool flooring is often prefabricated with corrugations on its surface. That is, these flooring options come built with surface textures that give the floors feelings of either indentations or protrusions. In general, such corrugations further enhance the amount of traction that a surface already provides. Like the terrain on a landscape, these grooves and ridges increase the total number of points of contact between a person’s feet and the flooring underneath, thereby heightening the traction that they gain from the surface. Our pool flooring works the same way, further increasing the amount of traction that the flooring provides your guests—on top of rubber’s already naturally-high coefficient of friction! What’s more, these textures themselves are aesthetic statements. Certain styles of corrugations fit certain types of pools. For example, diamond-plate corrugations may be preferable to you if your pool is located within a setting that sports an industrial atmosphere. This is just one example of the ways in which the variety we offer can precisely match both your requirements and tastes.

Considering that pool areas are no stranger to wetness, it is a bad idea to use fabric mats, like cotton, cotton-blends, or silk. These kinds of materials will soak up moisture, and if not properly dried can quickly develop a bad smell and start to rot. Rubber, on the other hand, is the perfect material for pool flooring because of its natural resistance to water. Solid, vulcanized rubber mats are impermeable, which means that water cannot go through them. Some of our pool flooring is made of vulcanized rubber that is solid throughout, causing any moisture to stay on the mat’s surface until dried or swept away. This trait can be desirable in some settings, such as those where the poolside’s subflooring is vulnerable to damage from leaking water. For example, water can seep into cracked concrete, causing its rifts to widen over time. In other poolside settings, though, drainage may be a priority. This is why we offer pool flooring that is both made of vulcanized rubber and prefabricated with drainage holes. This way, you can drain any excess moisture away, underfoot, in a controlled manner. Rubber is a long-lasting and durable material, which is why it is so often employed in outdoor settings. Coupled with its natural resistance to water, rubber becomes the go-to choice for pool re-furnishers everywhere. One point that highlights rubber’s supremacy as a flooring option is the fact that car tires are made from rubber. Tires are designed to withstand the toughest of outdoor conditions—including chemicals, sunlight, abrasions, and impacts. Rubber floors are no different. In fact, many of our rubber flooring options are made of recycled or reclaimed rubber materials derived from discarded car tires. These recycled rubber materials are exceedingly robust, making them excellent for rubber flooring that needs a similar degree of resilience.

With a pool needing so much upkeep already, there is no need to add slip and fall safety to your constant list of worries. The right set of pool deck coverings can make accidental slips and falls one less thing for you to worry about! Rubber mats for pool area applications are designed to stand up to a variety of abrasive conditions with minimal amounts of care. And while the maintenance of your pool deck coverings is still necessary, it is certainly much less of a hassle to worry about than someone slipping and falling on your premises. Even so, rubber flooring does not usually need much more than a broom and mop to quickly clean up. In the case of poolside mats, all you will really ever need to do is brush off debris and leftover moisture. Although, if more thorough cleaning is ever required, our pool flooring is chemically-resistant to the degree that it can withstand most basic household cleaning solutions. If you want to apply more rigorous cleaning methods, feel free to do so.

Every pool is different, and problem areas are unique to every public facility or home. Some areas may require only a few singular poolside mats to minimize the danger of smaller hazards. Meanwhile, other pools might have larger and more slippery hallways and walkways, which require extended lengths of pool flooring. If you are looking to cover longer sections of floor, there are rubber runners available in custom sizes which we will happily cut for you, and if you are looking to cover a wider area, then the use of interlocking tiles may be ideal for you. Whatever the case may be, installing your pool area flooring does not have to be a headache! Very little technical knowledge is necessary to install our rubber flooring options since most of them stay put once rolled out or locked into place.
