If your swimming pool is surrounded by concrete, keeping those surfaces both attractive and well protected can be a challenge. Choosing the right sealer is essential for durability and appearance, especially in wet environments.
Why Use Resinstone for Pool Surrounds?
Resinstone is specifically formulated for sealing and protecting absorbent concrete surfaces. Its deep-penetrating, one-component methacrylic resin creates a protective barrier while allowing concrete to breathe. This means moisture is kept out, but water vapour isn’t trapped inside your slab, helping to prevent unsightly bubbling or damage over time — a key advantage in poolside environments where water exposure is constant.
Application Tips for Best Results
Before applying Resinstone, ensure the concrete is thoroughly cleaned and completely dry. The resin is simple to pour on and spreads easily with a roller or brush. For optimal protection, work the resin well into surface pores and allow it to dry fully; Resinstone typically dries in under 12 hours. Note that it is not designed for binding loose stones or gravel, so only use it on firm, absorbent concrete or stamped surfaces. For decorative, permeable finishes near pools, consider systems like the Flowstone kit instead.
When Sealing Concrete Around Pools Matters
- Your pool surround is showing signs of wear, staining, or surface cracks.
- You want to protect concrete from chemical or UV exposure without trapping moisture.
- Quick drying and easy DIY application are important for the project timeline.
