You can’t walk on these bricks, they are HOT. You would think when building this they would of use bricks that don’t get hot. What to do ?
Splashing it down and umbrellas- we have 5 monster-12 ft umbrellas around pool and still doesn’t cover the bricks. I do splash water as I leave the hose next to the pool. I try to put mats down but find them in the pool or in the woods if it’s windy. So only answer is tell everyone to wear sandals. Do they make bricks that don’t get hot?It's a pain isn't it? Even my wood deck is too hot - in fact it's more hot with the stain than before. As everyone said splashed water and umbrellas help. When I was researching a pool install last year I took these notes on pavers (until I realized IG was above my budget). Won't help your situation but maybe someone reading this tread.
99 degree day / heat index 108
concrete 114 degrees (warm but bearable)
gray paver 126 degrees (can’t stand on)
PA blue stone 126
travertine cream 110
travertine beige 115
beige paver 120
I hate to splash warm pool water on to bricks. When someone does it I try to tell them use the hose.If you're like everyone I know, you splash a bunch of water on it so you can walk across it without burning your feet.
Even my light-colored concrete gets too hot to walk across barefoot.
My previous answer was “flip-flops”. We always tell our guests that all they need to bring is swimsuits and flip-flops; we supply everything else. Some of them don’t listen, and show up with towels but no flip-flops. We accumulate towels, sigh.I try to put mats down but find them in the pool or in the woods if it’s windy.
