Cool Decking Pool Deck Paint - Coating for Concrete and Decks - Waterproof Concrete Paint that Repairs, Seals, and Cools Your Pool Deck Surfaces - Covers 150 Square Feet of Deck

Bought this product a year ago to recoat the cool deck around our pool. My annual power washing had exposed some of the concrete and it had began to look unsightly. We waited for a warm but not hot day and followed the directions. I purchased 2 of these containers and was able to completely coat the side I was planning to work on, as well as most of a second patio on the other side of the pool. It was a fairly easy process though time consuming to first clean the surface (wait a day), apply the coating (wait a day) and then apply the water proofing, but a year has gone by and it still looks fantastic. At the beginning of this summer (2020) I applied additional water proofing and it has held up very well. I plan to apply additional water proof (Behr) every year but other than that I am very happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone. Update Dec 2025: I was just not admiring the coating that I applied 6 years ago. I was very careful to follow the instructions and the application still is in great shape! So glad I used this stuff!

This paint is ideal for the concrete around your pool. My pool deck has deep scalloped lines in the concrete which made it difficult to fill even with a large nap roller. I had to brush fill every line which took a ton of time. Most importantly, whatever it tells you on the container about coverage, I would err on the low side or double whatever it tells you. I went through 4 pales of this to do two coats (plus those pesky grooves) on my pool deck. I tinted it with the recommended paint from HDepot. Also, just because this comes in a 5-gallon pale, you are not getting 5 gallons of paint. Even after you add your 1 gallon of tint, you only end up with 3 to 3 1/2 gallons of paint to use. To be fooled by the size of the container. Finally, don't apply when it's blazing hot out. It will dry too quickly including on your roller and the large nap won't work the way it should. Other than that, it's expensive but probably worth it. We'll see how it holds up. I'm happy with how it turned out but it was a lot of work.

Easy to use product easy to tint and apply, but this has not at all cooled my concrete if anything it has made it hotter.. I will have to hose off concrete before kids can walk on it. It does have good grip, but it is way expensive to not cool the concrete down. I wish I had the coolcrete from Sherwin Williams it worked great but it was on Backorder and they didn't have a time frame....while this doesn't live up to its name and I have now wasted over $750.

Was looking for a cost effective method to update our pool deck, and this was the answer. We had exposed aggregate pebble deck that was out dated and worn out. After getting some estimates on having it replaced with a Kool Deck I started to look for other options. This was by far a much cheaper option. I have had it down for about a year and have had a few areas that have required some attention. I reached out directly to Encore coatings to ask for some advise on repair and was blown away with their service. Ryan asked me to text him some phots of my issues. He responded within 10 mins (this was after 6 pm his time) and told me he would review and follow up with a call. The next day I got a call from Jeff and he explained to me what had caused my issues (small areas where Cool Deck came up). For me it was not making sure the overlay concrete I applied prior to the Cool Deck was fully cured. In my case I was so excited with results from my test area I didn't wait for the full cure. Jeff gave me some detailed instructions on how to fix those areas. Again I cannot tell you how impressed I have been with their support. I informed him I was going to try it over the weekend and he gave me his cell number incase I ran into any issues. For the areas that did not have an issue the appearance looks just as good as when I applied it over a year ago. I have pressure washed the area multiple times as well as have had lots of organic tree sap and other matter on the deck and has not been an issue. I did not use the sealer, but after talking with Jeff I ordered some from them directly and will apply soon. If you are looking for a good option to really make your deck or patio look new at a reasonable cost this is your product. Just don't rush the process and check out their website, they have a ton of how to and what to avoid videos. Great product and better customer support.
