What pool deck sealing means in Las Vegas
Pool water, chemicals and sun all attack a deck surface, and a sealer is what slows that down. On a decorative or coloured deck it is also what holds the colour.
The hazard is a gloss film-forming sealer on a surface that is wet by definition. It looks excellent dry and it is slippery under a wet foot.
Valley pool decks face UV, chlorine and very hard water, and the sealer is what stands between the surface and all three.

How pool deck sealing is applied
Product choice comes first. A penetrating silane or siloxane changes the look barely at all, does not peel, and does not reduce grip, which makes it the default on a plain or textured deck.
Where a film former is needed to hold colour on stamped or stained work, it gets a non-slip additive, and matte rather than gloss.
The deck has to be clean and dry before anything is applied. Sealing over a damp slab produces a white cloudy blush that has to be stripped off.
Application is two thin coats rather than one heavy one, and any sealer is kept out of the coping joint so the flexible sealant there is not bridged.

Where pool deck sealing goes wrong in Nevada
A gloss-sealed pool deck with no non-slip additive is the one sealing decision that can genuinely hurt somebody, and it is still common.
A gloss film sealer on a valley pool deck in summer is both a slip hazard and likely to blister as the solvent flashes off a 50 degree surface. Penetrating, or matte with a non-slip additive.

Questions we get asked about pool deck sealing
Should a pool deck be sealed?
Yes. Chemicals and UV attack the surface, and on coloured work the sealer holds the colour.
Will sealing make it slippery?
A gloss film former will. A penetrating sealer will not, and a matte film with a non-slip additive is the compromise on decorative work.
How often?
Penetrating sealers last several years. Film formers on decorative decks, every two to three.
