Wondering if anyone has ever had someone suggest this for their pool decking. If so and you could share pictures I'd love to see them.
No, this is for a new pour. The concrete will be colored and then blasted to created a interesting but non skid surface. I've seen pictures of the end results but would like to hear from someone who has lived with it. Other option is acid etched but I am worried about it being slick.
Sandblasting is great. I have my patio deck done with sandblasting. The surface treatment works best with the integral color concrete instead of the surface color concrete. We choose our concrete patio with Davis color call Slate or something like that. It is a nice dark grey when wet but pretty light when dry. The coloring is mixed in the concrete so it is uniform through out the mix. Then they came with a sandblasting machine to give it a matte uniform none slippery surface. Looks very modern and clean, not the typical shying surface you see with the surface color concrete. We love ours. I will try to take some pic tomorrow when light. If you are going for a modern and high end kind of finish, this is way to go. We considered acid etch too, but just not sure how skillful the applicators are. I did a lot of research when deciding the surface treatment for the patio deck and really happy about the sandblasting. The architecture designer for my project was hesitant to use this method and integral colored concrete at the beginning and kept telling me I should do the stamp surface concrete.... I am glad that I stay with my guts and in the end she agreed with me about using this type of finish since NY project is clean line and none fuzzy and modern.
