Material Selections

This a broad topic (For more info check out our blog or if you have specific questions, contact us today!) Everything from glass and ceramic tiles, brick pavers or travertine deck, coping, stone veneer, and interior finish.

Your tile should be applied as described in the tile application portion of the construction basics page. Additionally it is important to select a tile that is designed to be used in wet areas as well as the ability to withstand freezing temperatures and the elements.

For the pool deck area I prefer sand set materials. Sand setting pavers or travertine not only gives you a richer feel and aesthetic advantage but sand set materials can also move with the ground and unlike concrete you won't have cracking or patching. Another advantage is for any reason you need to go under the deck area, you can simply pull up the pavers and reset them or add deck space in the future without having a patch or unsightly addition. It will go together seamlessly.

These days you can have a standard paver installed for about the same price as a concrete deck anyway.
