Upgrade Your Pool with Safe, Stylish Paving

In Golden Namibia, weekends are made for poolside braais and splashing in the pool. That’s why your pool paving needs to be safe, stylish, and built to last.

Which pool surface is best?

When choosing paving, a safe, non-slip surface is essential.

SmartStone Namibia achieves this with its porous concrete surface, which promotes a less slippery surface, as well as the unique textures that enhance grip around your pool.

A Few Pointers To Consider When Paving Around Pools

Compaction

Good compaction around new swimming pools is extremely important. Compaction should take place in layers of no more than 150mm each. Care must be taken not to damage the swimming pool when compacting.

Drainage

Carefully consider slopes and drainage around your pool. It is recommended that paving slope by 1% away from the pool.

Grouting and Bedding

Sand grouting will easily wash out on a pool surround and cement grouting has the tendency to pop out on paving around pools. Imported paving grouting is a good option for grouting paving in these areas.

Expansion Joints

This is popular among some installers, but it becomes ugly very quickly.

Copings

Consider the sharp edges and lugs of normal pavers.  Rounded copings are generally a practical choice.

Salt Chlorinators

Water from salt chlorinated pools will damage paving. Always seal paving around salt chlorinated pools and warn the customer. Sealant should be re-applied every six months when a “cheap” sealant is used and every 24 months when a quality urethane or plastic based sealant is used.
