Grout and Tile Care for Outdoor and Pool Areas

Sun, rain, algae and freeze and thaw attack outdoor tile. Here is how to restore patios and pool surrounds.

Outdoor tile faces conditions that indoor tile never sees. Shade breeds algae, summer sun fades grout, rain washes dirt into joints and winter freezes water in cracks. Around pools, calcium scale forms along the waterline and chlorinated water roughens grout. A patio that looked like an outdoor living room can become slick, stained and uneven, which is not only ugly but unsafe.

Restoring outdoor tile means using outdoor materials. We clean with methods that suit exposure, treat algae and scale, regrout with weather-resistant products and reseal expansion joints. Loose or cracked tile is reset or replaced. Sealers made for outdoor use protect porous tile and stone, and traction treatments can improve slippery spots. We also look at drainage, because water that stands on tile is the root of many problems. A yearly cleaning keeps outdoor surfaces beautiful through every season.
