The Pool Deck Made of Stone Tiles
Why Choose Pierre Carpets for Your Pool Deck?
As a place for relaxation, play, and cool refreshment, the pool deck requires a surface that meets strict safety and comfort standards. Stone carpet (or stone tiles) is the ideal solution for your pool deck: it combinesthe natural elegance of marble with maximum traction and immediate water drainage. Transform the area around your pool into a true luxury oasis.
Specially designed for wet areas with heavy foot traffic, stone carpet pool decks address the major challenges associated with poolside areas:
- Maximum Safety & Slip Resistance: The texture of natural marble provides excellent traction, significantly reducing the risk of falls and slips when children get out of the water.
- Instant drainage: Water sprayed out of the pool is immediately absorbed through the microporous lining. The surrounding area always stays dry and clean.
- Comfort underfoot: Unlike tile or concrete, which quickly become scorching hot in the middle of summer, natural marble regulates its temperature, making it pleasant to walk on.
- Resistant to pool chemicals: Completely resistant to chlorinated water, salt, bromine, and UV rays, ensuring that the floor will not yellow or fade over time.
- Perfect edge finish: The floor can be seamlessly covered or extended to the edge of the coping for a smooth, uninterrupted look.
Stone Carpet vs. Other Pool Surfacing Options: A Comparison
A comparison of the key features to consider when choosing a surface for your pool surround:

|---|---|---|---|
| Safety | Excellent slip resistance | Can become slippery when wet | Algae can make the surface slippery |
| Water management | Immediate drainage, helping prevent puddles | Standing water and dirty runoff | Water drains beneath the boards, creating areas where mosquitoes may thrive |
| Maintenance | Resistant to moss, easy to clean with water | Moss can develop in the joints | Dust and debris can accumulate beneath the boards |
| Comfort | Comfortable underfoot, with limited heat build-up | Can become very hot in direct sunlight | Significant heat build-up, particularly with composite decking |
| Resistance to pool treatments | Resistant to chlorine, salt and UV exposure | Grout can be affected by chlorine and salt | Chlorine stains or greying of natural wood |

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have questions about installing or maintaining a stone carpet pool deck? Find answers to the most common questions here.
Do you need planning permission to create a pool surround?
In most cases, renovating or resurfacing an existing pool surround does not require planning permission. If you are simply replacing the existing surface, such as tiles or paving slabs, without changing the footprint or overall height of the pool area, no planning application is generally required. However, local planning rules may vary depending on the project and location, so it is always advisable to check the applicable regulations before starting work.
Is Resin Bound Stone really non-slip around a swimming pool?
Yes. Resin Bound Stone is particularly well suited to pool surrounds because its textured surface provides excellent grip underfoot, including in wet conditions. The natural marble aggregates create a lightly textured finish that helps improve slip resistance around the pool. Its permeable structure also allows water to drain rapidly through the surface, helping to prevent puddles from forming.
Can chlorine, salt or pool treatment products damage Resin Bound Stone?
When a suitable high-performance polyurethane resin system is used, Resin Bound Stone is designed to withstand the conditions commonly found around swimming pools. It is resistant to exposure to chlorinated water, salt treatment and bromine when properly installed and maintained. A UV-resistant resin also helps the surface retain its colour and appearance when exposed to sunlight.
Can Resin Bound Stone be applied over existing pool coping?
Yes, Resin Bound Stone can sometimes be applied over existing pool coping, provided that the substrate is sound, stable, clean and suitable for the system being installed. It can also be used to create a seamless visual transition between the pool coping and the surrounding pool area. This creates a more contemporary appearance while reducing visible breaks between different surfaces.
Does Resin Bound Stone get hot in direct sunlight?
Resin Bound Stone can remain comfortable underfoot compared with some darker paving materials that absorb and retain significant amounts of heat. The choice of natural aggregate colour also influences how much heat the surface absorbs. Its permeable structure allows water to drain through the surface, making it a practical and comfortable option for walking barefoot around a swimming pool during the summer.
