What exactly is textured vinyl for steps?

There are two choices for using the same floor pattern to cover steps – textured vinyl or the floor material without the texture. The textured vinyl material for steps is new and matches the floor pattern of the pool. The textured vinyl has a raised, pebbly texture which allows for more of a grip-feel. This adds for an improved appearance and allows the vinyl for the step to match the liner of the pool while still providing the textured material. Not all patterns are currently available with this option so consult with your local pool dealer to see which ones are available.
