Is a Kool Deck brand surface from Mortex applied when the concrete deck slab is fresh?

The Kool Deck topping can be applied on BOTH fresh concrete and existing concrete with the PTA bonding agent. It is most commonly applied on fresh pours because of labor and timing simplicity, which lowers cost. Kool Deck toppings applied on existing concrete bond equally well as a Kool Deck surface applied to a fresh pour.

How durable is kool deck compared to concrete for instance?
I have seen Kool-Deck by Mortex last over 20 years if done properly. Kool-Deck only works on brand new concrete as it is applied the same day the concrete is poured and MUST be done by an experienced installer. If the concrete is already there then use one of the polymer modified "spraydecks." "Preferred" is a good brand to use. Spraydecks are not as cool as Kool Deck but at least it works on existing concrete.

Other than cooler deck temps what are the significant differences between Kool Deck and Concrete Deck and which is better for the money?
Good question on pool decks. Regular concrete vs a "Kool Deck" brand surface will address two or more features you can add to your swimming pool deck. But lets first answer your question, a "Kool Deck" (brand name) product will be cooler due to both the highs and lows of the surface of the product and the actual Kool Deck additive which reflects heat, and is much cooler than concrete. Kool Deck surface has a custom look to it also and many color choices to further enhance its look. Your cooler colors are most desired for a "cool deck". If the decorative products or hi tech goodies are in your budget go for it, after all your buying the pool to enhance your life and have fun. good swimming getapool.com

For concrete deck material is Kool Deck or an acrylic considered superior?
As with all design choices, the answer is it depends on what you are trying to achieve. First, let's start with a few basics on understanding the comparison. A genuine Kool Deck brand surface from Mortex Mfg. is a pure cementitious topping unlike an "acrylic", which is a polymer modified cement. A Kool Deck surface will undoubtedly have a lower relative surface temperature than an equivalent acrylic topping of the similar color and will also be more skid-resistant when either wet or dry. A polymer modified cement topping will generally have much better stain resistance than a Kool Deck surface (which can be enhanced to provide similar stain resistance at a cost). Polymer toppings for the most part are deemed easier to apply and require less people for a job. This simplicity does come at a price, as the cost of materials is significantly higher than all the materials required for a Kool Deck surface. The major hurdle for those looking for Kool Deck surface is finding a skilled applicator to insure a proper application - look at the work of the contractor and do your homework!Bottom line is that a Kool Deck surface is still the best choice for barefoot areas where comfort is king, while polymers are better suited for deck areas expecting staining problems, customer wants custom patterns, or applicators are more comfortable installing the latter.Sun Deck is an acrylic concrete deck finish that is very durable, stain resistant, and cool. Also quite popular in South Texas.
