Slip-Resistant Coatings for Colorado Patios & Pool Decks

Colorado summers are made for gathering outdoors—barbecues on the patio, kids playing by the pool, and friends lounging under the sun. But with water, sunscreen, and high foot traffic, outdoor surfaces like patios and pool decks can become slippery fast. That’s why investing in a professional slip-resistant coating is key to keeping your outdoor spaces both safe and stylish.

At Keas Concrete Coatings, we help homeowners across Denver and Colorado Springs transform outdoor surfaces with durable, anti-slip solutions that stand up to weather, water, and wear. Whether you’re entertaining guests or just enjoying your backyard oasis, a properly coated surface gives peace of mind—without sacrificing curb appeal.

The Hazards of Bare Concrete in Colorado’s Climate

Uncoated concrete can be deceptive. While it may look clean and dry, a splash of pool water or sudden summer rain turns it into a slick hazard. In Colorado’s dry climate, the risk of slipping increases when people transition between dry and wet zones, like a sunbathing area and a pool entry point.

Other risks include:

• Cracked or uneven surfaces that catch toes or heels
• Mold or mildew growth that increases slipperiness
• UV fading that makes hazards hard to see

Our custom Colorado patio coatings don’t just improve appearance—they also provide long-lasting traction and protect surfaces from damage caused by the sun, water, and freeze-thaw cycles.

What Makes a Coating Slip-Resistant?

Slip-resistant coatings use special additives like textured granules or silica that embed into the coating’s surface. These particles add grip, even when the surface is wet. At Keas Concrete Coatings, we use advanced polyaspartic coatings with customizable traction levels for both barefoot comfort and safety.

Features of our non-slip pool deck and patio coatings include:

• UV-stable finish that prevents fading
• Rapid cure time—ready for foot traffic in hours
• Custom texture options for comfort and grip
• Easy-to-clean finish that resists mold, dirt, and algae
• Designed to perform in Colorado’s heat, hail, and elevation changes

Whether you're coating a large patio or a narrow pool border, our team ensures every surface meets safety and design standards.

Which Surfaces Benefit Most from Anti-Slip Coatings?

Any concrete surface where moisture and foot traffic meet can benefit from a non-slip upgrade. In Colorado homes, we most often install slip-resistant coatings on:

• Pool decks (especially around ladders and shallow ends)
• Backyard patios and covered porches
• Walkways that slope or connect outdoor living areas
• Entry points from hot tubs or outdoor showers

Coatings are available in a wide range of colors and decorative finishes, so you can match your home’s aesthetic while creating a safer space.

Compare Your Options: Coated vs. Uncoated Outdoor Concrete

Uncoated concrete is slippery when wet, while Keas’ slip-resistant coatings provide traction even in soaked conditions. Plain and often discolored, bare concrete lacks the visual appeal of our custom finishes that include color, flake, and gloss options. Durability is another concern—uncoated surfaces crack and stain easily, whereas our coatings resist UV, impact, and chemicals. Maintenance is simpler with coated surfaces too; unlike bare concrete, which can grow mold and mildew, our systems are easy to rinse and resist organic buildup. Lastly, for comfort, uncoated concrete heats up quickly and feels harsh underfoot, while our textured coatings stay cooler and are more comfortable for bare feet.

When Is the Best Time to Schedule Your Patio or Pool Deck Coating?

The ideal time to schedule your patio or pool deck upgrade in Colorado is late spring through early fall. Our coatings cure quickly—even in changing weather—but we recommend planning 2–3 weeks ahead to allow for prep and optimal dry conditions. If you're in Denver or Colorado Springs, Keas Concrete Coatings can help you pick the best day based on your schedule and forecast.

We also offer surface repair as part of every project. If your patio has existing cracks or chipping, we’ll address those first before applying the new coating—ensuring both beauty and safety.
