Brick pavers can look beautiful as a hardscape around the home. They are usually used to make driveways, retaining walls with small flowers and plants, cozy fireplaces and fire pits, natural patios, and gorgeous pool decks. They come in many different colors and look amazing in any home. They are highly durable, as you don’t have to replace them after some time; even their colors don’t fade over time. They have low maintenance costs, increase the value of the property, and are easy to clean. They have a lot of benefits that include:
1. They Look Amazing
Brick pool decks can look really sophisticated and classy. They present a unique way to increase the class of your whole swimming pool.
2. Colors and Varieties
They come in a lot of different patterns and sizes so you can pick the one that you like the best. Since they also come in different colors, you can choose one that fits the style of your home. They can be installed with either mortar or sand so you can pick the easiest option.
When installing brick pool decks, make sure you pick the smoother option. Around the pool, most people roam barefoot. If the brick isn’t smooth, it can be quite uncomfortable.
3. Durable
Brick pavers are essentially permanent fixtures if you use them for pool decks. They do not diminish or fade over time which keeps them at a distinct advantage. All the materials in brick pavers are completely natural made at a high temperature of 10, 000 C. This method can create little color variations in the brick, but this makes it look more natural in the landscape setting. They blend well into the area and don’t show scuffing or dirt.
4. They Don’t Absorb a Lot
When creating a pool deck, you want a material that won’t absorb a lot of water, dirt or spills. If moisture in the foundation increases, it can make the ground shift and crack. Brick pavers limit such things from happening.
5. Low Maintenance
Brick paver pool decks are really easy to look after. They don’t absorb dirt very easily so they look nice for quite some time. They are also very durable so you won’t have to invest in a lot of repairs for cracks or scuffing.
6. Easy to Fix
Brick pavers can develop a white crystalline finish. This is called efflorescence which occurs when salt rises from the ground and breaks through the surface. The sun dries and crystallizes the salt on the ground which can be very unappealing to look it. There are some readily available products you can use to remove the salt. Even scrubbing with a stiff brush or damp cloth will fix the issue.
Make sure you use a sand foundation when installing the new pool deck. This will act as a barrier against the salt and reduce any chance of this problem from occurring.
