Spray resin pool surrounds

A spray resin pool surround is the concrete and coping around your pool sprayed with Shieldcoat’s Step Safe Heavy Duty. It has a P5 slip rating, the top rating, so it stays grippy when it’s wet, and it’s fade proof in full sun.

Is it safe around a pool?

That’s what spray resin is built for. The grip comes from the sprayed texture, and P5 is as high as slip ratings go. Glossy coatings get slippery when they’re wet, and that’s the last thing you want next to a pool. See the spray resin slip rating for more.

How a pool surround is prepped

1. Lower the water to 500mm below the coping.
2. Grind and pressure clean the coping and surround.
3. Prime with Primer X.
4. Mask the pool. Float corflute on the water with a pool noodle along its edge, and tape it to the coping.

Then two base coats and two fleck coats of Step Safe Heavy Duty, and two thin coats of clear sealer on a later day.

Outdoor tiles?

If the surround is tiled, it doesn’t get coated. Outdoor tiles are a hard pass, in any condition. Concrete only, at least 28 days old and under 6% moisture.
