The curing process for Kool Deck® surfaces is a critical factor in ensuring its long-term durability and performance. Owners are advised to refrain from direct contact with the deck for the initial 48 hours after application. Following this, light walking traffic is permissible after 3 days, while normal walking traffic can be resumed after a 14-day curing period. To safeguard the integrity of the surface, heavy patio furniture placement is recommended only after a comprehensive curing duration of 28 days. Adhering to this curing timeline is essential for maximizing the effectiveness and resilience of the Kool Deck® surface over time.  I have over 20 year in cool deck applications so call me if you need a Kool deck installation expert.

Concerns about slipperiness on cool decks when wet are mitigated through careful application and texture techniques employed by reputable contractors. A skilled contractor ensures that the cool pool deck coating is textured in a manner that minimizes slipperiness when wet. Additionally, the incorporation of aggregates directly into the sealer during the mixing process provides an extra layer of slip resistance to the surface. By leveraging these methods, a well-executed cool deck not only maintains its functionality but also addresses safety concerns, offering a secure and slip-resistant environment, even in wet conditions. It is advisable to consult with professionals who employ these techniques to ensure the optimal performance and safety of your cool deck surface. Learn more about our cool pool deck coatings. 

Yes, it is possible to resurface Kool Deck. Kool Deck is a brand of textured concrete surface commonly used for pool decks, and over time, it may experience wear, cracks, or other issues that necessitate resurfacing.

The resurfacing process typically involves the following steps:

1. Cleaning: The existing Kool Deck surface must be thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt, debris, and any contaminants that could affect the adhesion of the new surface.
2. Repairing: Any cracks, chips, or damaged areas on the existing Kool Deck should be repaired before resurfacing. This may involve patching and smoothing the surface.
3. Priming: Applying a suitable primer helps ensure proper adhesion between the existing Kool Deck and the new resurfacing material.
4. Application of New Surface: The new resurfacing material, whether it's another layer of Kool Deck or a different coating, is applied according to the manufacturer's instructions.
5. Finishing: Once the new surface is applied, it is typically finished and sealed to enhance durability and appearance.

It's important to note that the specific process may vary based on the resurfacing product or method chosen. Hiring a professional with experience in concrete resurfacing is recommended to ensure the job is done effectively and meets the specific requirements of the Kool Deck surface.

To ensure optimal durability and performance of the cool deck, it is recommended the pool owners refrain from direct contact with the surface for an initial 48-hour period. Furthermore, even light usage of the deck should be restricted for a more extended duration of one week following the application. Commencing pedestrian traffic on the deck is advisable after a curing period of two weeks. It is crucial to exercise caution throughout the entire four-week curing process by avoiding the placement of patio furniture and refraining from wearing hard-soled shoes on the surface. This proactive approach will contribute to the long-term integrity and aesthetic appeal of the cool deck.
