What Is Rock Carpet Around Pools?

    What It's Made Of

    • Rock Carpet is made up of river stones and other rocks and gravel combined with water resistant resins and polymers. There are many different kinds of stone and rock to choose from when deciding on a Rock Carpet flooring plan for your poolside, and personalized patterns and designs can be created with the many options available. In addition to water resistance, the polymers give Rock Carpet shine and durability, while giving the walkway a seamless appearance and dent resistance.

    Installation

    • Installation of Rock Carpet is done by professional technicians. It involves mixing the rocks and stones with the essential polymers and resins into a wet concrete like mixture. The flooring is applied much as stucco or a concrete sidewalk would be. The installation process is not particularly complicated but again, application is recommended by licensed technicians.

    Benefits

    • The most obvious benefit to Rock Carpet is the extent to which customization is an option when choosing how you would like your poolside to look. The medium is slip and stain resistant and relatively low maintenance. It is especially useful outdoors and near a pool because of its UV and mold resistance.

    Maintenance

    • As long as Rock Carpet is re-sealed every three to five years, it will retain its water resistant qualities and look exactly as it did upon installation. Regular cleaning is absolutely unnecessary, the sealed and smooth quality of the substance eliminates even the smallest of cracks in the flooring, so dirt will not get caught in the cracks, and stains will easily be washed off. Regular sweeping will help appearance but is not necessary for the upkeep of the flooring itself.
