Stamped concrete vs. Other pool deck materials
Generally, stamped concrete is a much more versatile, design-friendly, and cheaper material for pool decks compared to other options. Compared to pavers, which are installed as individual pieces, stamped concrete is a more durable option since it doesn’t allow water to seep through gaps like pavers do. Weeds may also grow through the spaces between individuals which does not happen with concrete. However, pavers are easier to repair when damaged since you can replace damaged areas separately. Another common pool deck material is travertine tiles. This is a durable material that gives your outdoor space a sophisticated look. However, they tend to get slippery when wet which makes them “not so ideal” for paving pool decks. They also do not offer much in terms of heat reduction compared to stamped concrete.
