Heat-reflective Kool Deck and acrylic coatings that keep your pool deck walkable even in July. Walk barefoot to the pool again with surfaces designed specifically for the Arizona sun.
In Tucson, uncoated concrete pool decks can reach surface temperatures above 150 degrees Fahrenheit in direct summer sun. Cool deck coatings are heat-reflective surface treatments that reduce surface temperatures by 20 to 40 degrees compared to standard concrete, making your pool area comfortable and safe for barefoot use.
Tucson Pool Deck Wizards installs Kool Deck (the original brand by Mortex) and modern acrylic cool deck systems. These coatings bond to your existing concrete and create a textured, slip-resistant surface that reflects solar radiation rather than absorbing it. The result is a surface you can actually stand on during a Tucson summer without burning your feet.
Cool deck coatings are available in a range of colors from classic desert tan to custom tints. The lighter the color, the cooler the surface, but even mid-tone colors provide significant temperature reduction compared to bare concrete. We help you find the right balance between aesthetics and performance.
We evaluate your existing concrete for adhesion suitability, checking for cracks, sealers, or previous coatings that may need to be removed or repaired before application.
Choose from our cool deck color palette. We discuss which colors provide the best heat reduction for your specific sun exposure and bring samples for you to compare on-site.
The deck is pressure washed, cracks are repaired, and the surface is profiled for maximum coating adhesion. Any existing sealers or failing coatings are removed.
The cool deck material is hand-applied in a textured pattern. Multiple coats build up the heat-reflective surface. The signature cool deck texture is created during this step.
The coating cures for 24 to 48 hours. A UV-resistant sealer is applied to protect the finish and enhance slip resistance. We provide care instructions for maximum lifespan.
The original cool deck brand. A cementitious coating mixed with Kool Deck powder that creates a textured, heat-reflective surface. The industry standard since the 1960s. Proven track record in Arizona.
Modern acrylic-based coatings that provide excellent heat reduction with improved color retention and UV stability. Easier to maintain and reseal than traditional Kool Deck.
A thicker overlay system for decks with moderate damage. Combines the heat-reflective properties of cool deck with the restorative benefits of a full overlay. Covers minor cracks and imperfections.
Cool deck coatings are available in a range of colors. Desert tan, sandstone, and off-white provide the best cooling performance. Custom color matching is available for specific design requirements.
