A collection of components designed to enhance or replace the visible surface surrounding the entry point to a swimming pool, especially the area where steps descend into the water. This often includes a decorative covering, fasteners, and potentially sealant, all intended to improve aesthetics and potentially provide added safety. For instance, a worn or cracked area may be replaced with a new, visually appealing covering, ensuring secure footing and a refreshed look.
Such a collection is important for maintaining both the visual appeal and structural integrity of a pool’s entry system. Benefits include improved safety by covering potentially hazardous areas, enhanced aesthetic appeal transforming the look of the pool area, and prolonged life of the underlying step structure by protecting it from water damage and wear. Historically, these were often simple, utilitarian coverings; modern versions, however, offer a wide range of materials, colors, and textures to complement diverse pool designs.
