Concrete Solutions to Beat the Doral Heat

1. Cool Deck Coatings for Pool Areas

Who hasn’t experienced the agony of dancing across a hot pool deck on a Doral summer day? This is where Cool Deck Coatings come in. They are a new way to treat concrete for pool areas to reflect the sun’s heat and reduce the surface temperature compared to other types of concrete or pavers.

Benefits:

• Lower the surface temperature by up to 30 degrees
• Bare-foot friendly
• Has slip-resistant qualities
• Is available in many different colors to fit your decorative scheme

2. Permeable Concrete Pavers

Permeable pavers are a great alternative to conventional pavers and driveways in Doral. Because permeable pavers have holes in them that allow water to drain through, they provide evaporative cooling to reduce surface temperatures.

Benefits:

• Surface temperatures are lower due to evaporative cooling
• Improves drainage in the summer months
• Lessens puddling and runoff of water
• An eco-friendly option that helps recharge groundwater

3. Light-Colored Stamped Concrete

Stamped concrete has the look of stone or brick and the longevity of concrete. Using light-colored stamping on your concrete will greatly help reduce how much heat it absorbs.

Benefits:

• Will reflect more sunlight and, thus, stay cooler
• Provides a variety of design options to fit the look of your house
• More cost-effective than natural stone
• Long-lasting in Doral’s climate

4. Shade Structures With Concrete Foundations

While the actual surface may not be made of concrete, adding shade structures such as pergolas or gazebos to your concrete patio can help create a cooler place to relax outdoors. The team at Doral Concrete Works can help you design and build the perfect concrete base for your shade structure.

Benefits:

• Provide shaded areas for your family to relax
• Can be designed to match the rest of your concrete surfaces
• Add a touch of architecture to your backyard
• Increase the use of your patio when it is extremely hot outside

5. Concrete Water Features

There is nothing that says “cool” like the sound of running water. In addition to being visually appealing, concrete water features can also make the ambient temperature in your backyard cooler due to evaporative cooling.

Benefits:

• Create a cooling effect in your outdoor area
• Add another sensory experience to your backyard landscaping (the sound of water)
• Can be designed in a wide variety of ways (modern, natural, etc.)
• Can serve as a focal point in your backyard
