Default Lanai flooring

I'm still undecided about what to do with our lanai flooring.
Has anyone put down an acrylic flooring (the kind they use
around pools called coolcrete).

Is there any flooring you prefer and why?

I am looking at a product from Seal Krete called, Floor Tex and Granitex.
Both are textured surface. Watched the video on you tube look easy enough.
Pool Deck Resurfacing | Non-Slip Finish | Epoxy-Seal Floor Paint | UV-Resistant Sealer | SEAL-KRETE®

If the lanai isn't enclosed I would recommend Cost for Less to just paint the floor. They do a design around the edges and speckle paint all over. Ours looks great and it's been over 5 years since it was done. I wish I had the phone number to pass on. Maybe if you do a search you can find it. A friend had hers painted to look like tile on an diagonal. Very easy to keep clean just wash it every now and then with the hose.

Good topic.

We can't decide if we like the Chatahoochee stones in our lanai and don't know if anything can be applied over it.

We spilled wax and can not remove it. Mold is developing and must be cleaned weekly.

The bird cage is build on top of the stone so that it will drain and I believe that anything installed over would have to include a drainage system.

Any help in this area greatly appreciated.

We're heading up to T.V. next week.
Thinking of stopping in and looking at tile and
outdoor carpeting and seeing what seems
feasible.
We have coolcrete on our lanai in Tampa now
because of the pool but it is so hard to maintain.
