When pools are built, certain controlled expansion joints must be created. These gaps are necessary to allow for settling and ensure your pool deck has room to move without causing damage to the pool itself. The most important controlled expansion joint exists between the swimming pool coping and the decking around the pool. When the pool is first installed, a white foam expansion joint is installed prior to the pouring of the decking. This foam material acts as a form to create the expansion joint around the pool’s perimeter. This foam does not seal the joint and quickly deteriorates. It needs to be removed, and a urethane sealant must be installed in its place.

The expansion joint should be sealed with a self-leveling material explicitly designed for this purpose. This engineered urethane sealant is the highest quality material that can be used and will ensure a lasting seal. We are able to install these coatings and sealants around your pool so that they not only protect and maintain your original appearance but add to it.
