<description><![CDATA[I had seen decorative concrete coating available for pool decks at Plexipave. They are into sport surface construction. You can check through them if they can be of some help.<br/><em>edited by harrismargaret9 on 3/7/2013</em>]]></description>

It is a special formulated epoxy with a metallic pigment. It is roller or squeegee applied to your floor. The finished look is a smooth, glass like finish that has a unique and subtle sparkle. No two floors will ever look the same. There are endless creative techniques that can be used to create a style that you can call your own.<br/><br/><span style="color:FF0000">Please read forum rules and do not hyperlink to business listings//mod</span><br/><em>edited by Andrew on 2/18/2013</em>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Depending on what you use as a finish you may need to do any or all of what you enumerated in your question.  If doing tile use a machine that will remove the paint and the top surface of the concrete.  Tile would be the best long term option.  You may want to talk to the Local Health Department and verify if they will accept the new type of deck matting available from Kiefer.  My concern over this matting is algae below the matting due to high moisture.  If you decide to do this you may want to recoat with the same original product and install the matting over it and clean under the matting regularly.  This is not the best solution but it will help.  Most coatings I have found will bleach over a short period otf time and tend to be slippery.  Hope this helps.

<description><![CDATA[When we moved into our new facility our pool-deck was given a coat of paint, designed specifically for concrete application, but which has not stood the test of time.  <br><br>Has anyone used a concrete paint/coating that lasts for several years in high-traffic aquatic environments?  <br><br>If anyone has had concrete paint/coating removed, what method did you use, e.g., sand blasting/shocking, grinding? Would you recommend its use again?<br><br><div class='signature'>Cory Wynn, Pool Manager<br>City of Vancouver, WA</div>]]></description>
