Why A Rubber Pool Deck Is The Ultimate Safety Solution
What Is a Rubber Pool Deck?
Safety First: The Best Pool Deck for Families & Children
If you have kids, you already know that no matter how many times you tell them not to run around the pool, they will. Instead of constantly bracing for a fall, a rubber pool deck provides a safer environment where slips are less likely and falls are less severe.
Key Safety Benefits for Families & Kids:
Slip-Resistant Surface – Minimizes dangerous falls on wet surfaces.
Impact Absorption – Provides a cushioned surface that softens tumbles.
Gentle on Baby & Toddler Feet – No more scraped knees or burnt feet.
Eliminates the “Walk, Don’t Run!” Panic – Enjoy peace of mind knowing the pool deck is safer for active kids.
Cool Underfoot: No More Burning Feet in the Summer
One of the biggest complaints about concrete pool decks is how hot they get in direct sunlight. A rubber pool deck solves that problem by staying significantly cooler underfoot, even on scorching summer days.
Why Rubber Pool Decks Stay Cool:
Heat-resistant materials reflect rather than absorb sunlight.
Soft, flexible texture doesn’t retain heat like concrete or pavers.
Perfect for barefoot comfort—no more dashing across hot surfaces
In warm climates like Florida, rubber pool decks make poolside lounging much more enjoyable without the discomfort of burning feet.
Rubber Pool Deck - Perfect for Assisted Living & Commercial Facilities
Safety isn’t just a concern for families—assisted living centers, hotels, resorts, and rehabilitation facilities all need surfaces that reduce the risk of falls. A rubber pool deck provides an ADA-friendly, impact-absorbing surface that makes mobility safer for seniors and individuals with limited mobility.
Benefits for Facilities & Assisted Living:
Slip & Fall Prevention – Ideal for seniors and individuals with mobility challenges.
Gentle on Joints – Cushioned support reduces strain on knees and ankles.
Wheelchair & Walker-Friendly – Provides a smooth, non-slip surface that withstands heavy traffic.
Meets Safety Standards – Compliant with accessibility requirements for public and private facilities.
For hotels, resorts, and recreation centers, a rubber pool deck enhances guest safety and comfort while reducing liability risks.
Long-Term Durability & Low Maintenance
Rubber pool decks are built to last. Unlike traditional pool deck materials that crack, chip, or develop mold and mildew, rubber decking is weather-resistant and easy to maintain.
Why Rubber Pool Decks Last Longer:
No cracking or chipping – Flexible material withstands temperature changes.
Mold & mildew resistant – Ideal for humid and wet conditions.
Minimal upkeep required – A quick rinse keeps it looking fresh.
With minimal maintenance and a long lifespan, rubber pool decks are a cost-effective investment that saves you money in the long run.
Customizable Design & Aesthetic Appeal
A rubber pool deck isn’t just about safety—it’s also about style. Available in a wide range of colors and finishes, our rubber concrete overlay can be customized to complement any outdoor space.
Design Options for a Unique Look:
- Variety of colors & textures – Match your home or business aesthetic.

I couldn’t be happy with the experience. A total transformation of the driveway. Looks brand new.
I am totally pleased with the work done on my driveway. There is a geometric pattern using 3 colors. Concrete Craft was very accommodating in helping select the the right mix of colors. During the several days of work the crew always arrived on time and everything was kept neat. This is a great company of good people and I recommend them without any reservation.
We happened to see their truck in our development. We asked for a card and Terri came to see us , what a pleasure to talk too !! They did our old concrete deck around pool with a material that not only doesn’t get hot to walk on, but it’s soft 👍looks like a different backyard!! Worth every penny ! It literally transformed our entire yard ! Beautiful! Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Great crew all around !!!
From the very start (Terry) held my hand. From picking the colors to the day of coating the pool area. We went to the actual building where there business is located.we saw a finish area to see what it all looked and felt like. Went inside there building to the offices. Talked to all the people about any of my concerns. They answered all my questions and showed me completed projects.They showed up and worked very hard to frame the pool it was a wonderful job. They returned in couple of days to complete job. What a beautiful pool area so different from before. We are so very happy with the hole experience from start to finish a very professional job. And for us, it was a very personal job with all of the phone calls questions answered and showing up to make sure we were happy. I would recommend this company to anyone who would like to have a positive experience. Thank you all ! JOB WELL DONE!
We recently had our driveway replaced by Concrete Craft and are very pleased with the whole process. They are definitely concrete craftsmen, from the removal of the old driveway to the pouring of the new one. Terri helped us decide on the style and color,and Spenser's crew did an outstanding job overall in pouring, coloring, stamping,and cleaning up the site. Terri then followed up to make sure we were happy with the finished product. We highly recommend Concrete Craft on future projects
In February 2024, Concrete Craft of Southwest Florida installed a footer in preparation for my pavers and lanai screen. They were really great to work with and the footer was installed on time. They kept me informed, their price was fair, and Tosh was very good about communicating with me throughout the process. I would definitely recommend this company to family and friends and will use them again in the future when the need arises.
Concrete Craft helped me bring my fire pit vision to life! They were timely, professional and did a wonderful job! We have had tons of compliments on this project! Can’t wait to hire them to do my sidewalks and porches!
We are resurfacing a pool deck in Georgia using Concrete Craft there but we are in Florida for the winter. Went to the local (Fort Myers) franchise to look at some colors. Terry in Fort Myers knew from the start that we were not buying anything in Florida but was incredibly helpful, not just on color but in explaining the features of the various options available for our deck. If there were that helpful for someone who was not buying, I can't imagine the service they give to actual customers. If you are looking for a new or resurfaced pool deck or driveway I suggest you give them a try.
Having done a huge renovation to our home, we are well aware of unacceptable contractors! CONCRETE CRAFT is THE best to work with! It has been an absolutely great experience working closely with Chris and Terri to get a fantastic pool deck that is fresh and so user friendly. We went with the rubberized flooring that is nonskid and no water ever just sits. It drains beautifully and looks wonderful. You have found the best contractors!
