What Is Kool Deck?

Kool Deck is a specialized concrete coating designed to keep outdoor surfaces cooler, stronger and more visually appealing. Its textured finish keeps feet cooler underfoot in hot weather while providing excellent slip resistance and long-term performance. Popular for pool decks, patios and walkways, this finish combines durability with comfort.

Understanding Kool Deck’s Composition and Applications

We’ve answered a few common questions about Kool Deck and how it works.

What Is Kool Deck Made Of?

Kool Deck is a cement-based coating made from a blend of cement, aggregates and performance polymers. This combination creates a strong, textured surface that bonds securely to concrete. It’s typically applied over freshly poured concrete or properly prepared existing slabs.

How Is Kool Deck Applied?

The installation begins with a thorough surface preparation to ensure proper adhesion. The Kool Deck mix is combined on-site and applied using a trowel or specialized sprayer, creating its signature texture. Proper installation is essential — when applied correctly, Kool Deck delivers a seamless finish that resists peeling and damage.

How Long Does Kool Deck Last?

With quality installation and occasional cleaning, Kool Deck can last decades. Resealing every few years can help maintain its appearance and performance.

The Benefits of Kool Deck

  • Durability: Engineered for long-term use, Kool Deck resists cracking, flaking and discoloration even in harsh climates. 
  • Aesthetic appeal: Kool Deck is available in various colors, offering design flexibility for any project.

Where Can You Use Kool Deck?

Kool Deck’s temperature and slip resistance make it great for pool decks. Other applications include:

  • Walkways: The textured surface provides a safe, durable pathway.
  • Other concrete surfaces: It’s suitable for driveways, courtyards and commercial properties.
