Porcelain Pool Deck Tiles Give a Unique Look to Your Old Deck

Posted by Travertine Warehouse on January 7th, 2019

The chameleons of the paving and tiling world, porcelain tiles and pavers are sought after for their ability to mimic the characteristics and appearance of natural materials like stone and wood—all without the need to dig a quarry or cut down a tree. Even more advantageous is that a porcelain pool deck can stand up to scratching and water retention, which could easily wreak havoc on granite or hardwood flooring. Porcelain pool decks are extremely tough and they are a lot cheaper to install at an average cost of just -9 per square foot, compared to natural flooring, which costs over three times as much. This is great value proposition, especially when doing a pool deck remodel on a budget.

There are many other reasons why you should consider a porcelain pool deck as a brand-new addition to your home. For one, porcelain is produced from kiln-fired clay as opposed to stone and wood that deplete quarries and rain forests. This makes porcelain a green alternative to natural materials. While many companies use sustainable methods to harvest natural building materials, there is much to say about materials that help protect the environment and even provide a more durable and hard-wearing option than what’s been traditionally available. Materials like porcelain can be made to look like stone and wood, giving homeowners the natural look, they desire without taking away from the environment.

When it comes to durability and resilience to damage, a porcelain pool deck isn’t bothered by water drips nor spills. These can very easily be dried and cleaned off, unlike in the case of wood or stone, which requires a great deal of care and maintenance in order to keep their pristine state. Porcelain also doesn’t require periodic sealing in order to prevent staining. It is resistant to fading and can retain its rustic or sophisticated elegance for years to come. A porcelain pool deck can up the perceived value of your home, providing a more upscale look to your deck area than concrete or gravel. With all the different types of porcelain tiles and pavers that you can choose from, it is easy to find the perfect material to complete the look of your deck.
