From the pool shell to the surrounding deck, the right coatings can help you restore appearance, improve durability and get your customers ready for summer. 

As temperatures rise and homeowners start preparing their backyards for summer, pool builders, remodelers and outdoor living professionals need the right products to ensure long-term performance. A faded pool interior, worn deck surface or cracked concrete surround can quickly take away from the look and function of an otherwise beautiful outdoor space. To help your clients refresh their existing pools, you need to improve appearance while adding protection, extending the surface life, reducing maintenance needs and leaving outdoor spaces looking polished all season long. 

Start with the pool deck 

Pool decks take constant abuse from sun exposure, foot traffic, splashing water and pool chemicals. Over time, surfaces can become dull, weathered and uncomfortable under direct sunlight. DYCO’s Pool Deck Waterborne Acrylic Stain is designed to provide a durable and attractive walking surface for pool decks, patios and other concrete areas. Because it is self-priming on bare concrete and fast drying, it can help you move efficiently through prep and application. 

One standout feature is its HeatDeflect™ Technology, which helps keep your pool deck cooler by reducing surface heat caused by the sun. DYCO’s advanced formula uses a specialized blend of titanium dioxide and calcium carbonate pigments to reflect heat-producing infrared light. While temperature reduction will vary depending on the color chosen, this technology helps reduce heat buildup, making your pool deck more comfortable to walk on, even on the hottest days.  

Renew the pool interior 

When the pool itself needs attention too, DYCO’s Pool Paint Waterborne Acrylic Coating is formulated to renew, waterproof and beautify interior pool finishes. Suitable for concrete or plaster pools, decorative ponds and water features, the coating helps restore surfaces that may be faded or worn from years of exposure. It is designed with chemical resistance for both saltwater and chlorinated environments and offers fade resistance and strong color retention. 

This waterborne acrylic formula also fills hairline cracks and offers soap-and-water cleanup, helping streamline projects and reduce mess on the jobsite. 

Better together: a complete refresh 

When used together, DYCO Paints deliver a more complete transformation. The deck stain enhances surrounding surfaces while the pool coating restores the waterline focal point. They help create a cleaner, brighter and more cohesive outdoor environment. 

Beyond aesthetics, protective coatings can also help reduce peeling, cracking and premature wear over time. That means fewer maintenance headaches for clients and a stronger finished product contractors can stand behind. 

Help your clients make a splash this summer. From faded to flawless, DYCO solutions help outdoor spaces look their best for every occasion.
