We have purchased a house which has a pool about 20 years old.
The area around the pool is covered with concrete with joints that
are about 1 inch wide and 5 inches deep. Originally there was
wood inbetween with a sikaflex top. The wood has long rotted and
needs to be replaced.

We cleaned the joints out and were looking for something to
fill the joint area.

A silly question why not use mortor cement with a sikaflex seal on
top?
The cement has cured and the mortor will last a very long time?
Articles I read talk about polyuretha etc because the concrete has
not cured but the concrete is 20+ years old and not moving.
The heat/cold contraction appears to be very mimimal.

Philip.

I believe my concrete pool deck has moved in the last 10 years; its now 30
yrs. old, so I would not put even limestone screeding in the joints.
