At FLOCO Decking Systems, we believe in creating outdoor spaces that feel like an extension of home – safe, stylish, and comfortable for families to enjoy year-round. As a family-owned and operated business, we understand the importance of a beautiful backyard where you can relax without worrying about slips, cracks, or constant upkeep. That’s why we’re passionate about rubber surfacing. Over the years, we’ve become experts in solving the common surface issues that so many homeowners and business owners face. Rubber surfacing has been a game-changer, and we’re thrilled to share how it can transform your outdoor space, too.
In this post, we’ll cover the top 10 common surface issues that rubber surfacing solves. So if you’re tired of dealing with cracked concrete, slippery tiles, or fading colors, keep reading to see how FLOCO Decking Systems can help you create the outdoor space you’ve been dreaming of.
1. Cracked Concrete
Concrete surfaces, especially in places like pool decks and patios, tend to crack over time due to temperature changes, wear and tear, and natural settling. Cracks are not only unsightly but can become tripping hazards and places where weeds and dirt accumulate. Rubber surfacing is a fantastic solution for this issue.
Our rubber decking not only hides existing cracks but also provides a flexible surface that can withstand natural shifts and prevent future cracking. It’s an ideal solution for those looking to resurface without the need for complete concrete removal.
2. Slippery Surfaces
One of the most significant safety concerns around pools and patios is slipperiness. Wet tiles, concrete, or wood can lead to dangerous slips and falls, especially if you have little ones or elderly family members around. Our rubber surfacing is naturally slip-resistant, even when wet.
Imagine being able to relax poolside, knowing that the surface is safe for everyone, from kids running around to grandparents taking a stroll. For our family, safety is a top priority, and we love that rubber surfacing helps make outdoor spaces worry-free.
3. Hot, Uncomfortable Surfaces
In sunny Southwest Florida, hot surfaces are a common complaint. Concrete, tile, and stone surfaces can get unbearably hot, making it uncomfortable or even painful to walk barefoot. Rubber surfacing, however, stays cool to the touch, even on the hottest days.
As a family business, we understand how important it is to have a comfortable space to gather and enjoy the outdoors without the fear of burning your feet. Rubber decking allows you and your loved ones to move around freely, creating a space where you can truly unwind.
4. Chipping and Peeling
Concrete, paint, and some traditional deck coatings can start to chip and peel over time, especially when exposed to outdoor elements like sun, rain, and heavy foot traffic. Not only does this make your surface look old and worn, but it can also be tough to repair without a total redo.
Rubber surfacing is highly resistant to chipping and peeling. The surface is seamless, so there’s no risk of it breaking apart over time. With our expert installation at FLOCO Decking Systems, you can enjoy a smooth, durable surface that holds up beautifully year after year.
5. Weeds Growing Between Pavers
For anyone with pavers or tiled surfaces, weeds growing between the gaps can be a real headache. Not only are they unsightly, but they also require regular maintenance to keep your space looking neat. Rubber surfacing offers a seamless, continuous covering that eliminates gaps and cracks where weeds can take root.
This seamless look is not only stylish but also practical, saving you time on upkeep. We love helping families create spaces that stay beautiful without hours of maintenance. With rubber decking, you can reclaim your weekends and focus on enjoying your outdoor area instead.
6. Standing Water and Drainage Issues
Drainage problems are a common issue with many outdoor surfaces, leading to standing water or puddles after a rainstorm. Not only does this create slippery areas, but it can also damage your surface over time. At FLOCO Decking Systems, we’re proud to offer rubber surfacing solutions that are specially designed to address drainage.
Before installation, we thoroughly prepare the area to ensure proper drainage, preventing water from pooling on the surface. Our rubber surfacing is also water-resistant, making it ideal for pool decks and patios where water exposure is frequent. This careful attention to detail is what sets us apart, and we love seeing the results of a properly prepared, durable surface.
7. Fading Colors
Sun exposure can quickly fade the color of traditional decking materials like wood, tile, and certain types of concrete. This not only diminishes the visual appeal of your outdoor space but also ages it prematurely. Rubber surfacing is UV-stable, meaning it holds up against sun exposure without fading.
Our rubber surfacing comes in a wide range of vibrant colors that stay beautiful year after year. Whether you’re looking for natural earth tones, bright and playful colors, or custom color blends, we can help you create a look that reflects your personality and stays fresh.
8. High Maintenance Requirements
Maintaining outdoor surfaces like wood, tile, or stone can be time-consuming and costly. Sanding, staining, sealing, and scrubbing are all chores that come with traditional materials, and for busy families, it can be hard to keep up with these demands.
One of the best parts about rubber surfacing is how low-maintenance it is. Regular sweeping and an occasional rinse are all it takes to keep it looking great. Our family knows that your time is valuable, and we’re thrilled to provide a solution that lets you spend less time on maintenance and more time making memories.
9. Discomfort on Hard Surfaces
Concrete, stone, and tile can be hard on the joints, especially for family members with knee or back issues. Standing or walking on hard surfaces for extended periods can lead to discomfort, and this isn’t ideal for spaces where you want to relax and unwind.
Rubber surfacing offers a cushioned feel underfoot, providing a much more comfortable experience. It’s easy on the joints, making it perfect for areas where you’ll be spending a lot of time. Our clients often tell us how much they love the soft, comfortable feel of rubber decking – it’s like walking on a cloud!
10. Lack of Design Options
Traditional outdoor surfaces can sometimes feel limiting when it comes to style and personalization. Rubber surfacing opens up a world of design possibilities. At FLOCO Decking Systems, we offer custom color blends, inlays, and even luminous (glow-in-the-dark) options for a unique touch.
We work closely with our clients to create a design that’s uniquely theirs. Whether you want to reflect natural surroundings with earthy tones, create a playful area with vibrant colors, or make a statement with custom inlays, we’re here to bring your vision to life.
