A Concrete Pool Deck Coating Like No Other
Summers come and summers go, but one unmistakable memory of being around a pool in summer is darting from a chair to the pool to avoid the searing heat of the concrete deck.
Cool™ is a revolutionary new coating from Encore that enhances the look of your concrete pool deck and actually keeps it cooler. Cool’s refined, but textured finish is beautiful, and since it’s available in any color, it’s limited only by imagination. So, if your walk from your pool chair to the pool looks more like a sprint, it’s time to Cool™ things down!
Cool™ can reduce heat build-upon concrete by as much as 38%, creating a safe and pleasant environment. The secret’s in the formulation! Cool™ is neither a concrete paint nor a high-build concrete coating. It’s a one-of-a-kind concrete deck coating.
Other pool deck coatings rely on crevices and cavities of air and water to abate heat, but that’s not always effective and these coatings are hard to clean. That’s not the case with Cool™. Cool™ goes down smooth, but leaves a comfortable skid-resistant finish that’s easy to clean.
We designed Cool™ to be one of the most environmentally-friendly coatings on the Planet. Cool™ is water-based so it’s easy to use and won’t harm the environment. Clean-up is easy with water.

Other pool coatings have crevices and cavities that collect unsanitary oils and lotions. Cool can be easily cleaned because it's uniform texture leaves nowhere for oils and dirt to hide.
Cool™ can be tinted to any color by adding one gallon of exterior acrylic (water-based) paint in your color choice to the kit. An unlimited possibility of colors allows you to express your creativity and blend your pool deck into your environment.
Cool™ is Clean.
Unlike most pool deck coatings, Cool™ doesn’t rely on a profile of crevices and cavities to stay cool, so there’s nowhere for dirt and unsanitary lotions to reside for weeks and sometimes months. Cool’s™ uniform, skid-resistant surface is easily cleaned with soap and water so your pool deck is easy to maintain.
Cool™ is Durable.
Cool™ chemistry develops a strong, molecular bond with the concrete, insuring against peeling and chipping. Cool™ will also repair concrete, filling in cracks up to 1/8″ and sealing them permanently. When it’s time, Cool™ can withstand a rigorous pressure washing long after other coatings would have begun to peel or chip when subjected to the same conditions.
Cool™ is Safe.
Safety around pool areas is a top priority for property owners. Achieving the perfect balance between comfort and safety is a difficult task for pool coatings. Everyone wants to have a safe, skid-resistant pool deck coating, but too much skid-resistance could be a bad thing. Cool’s subtle texture is very comfortable, and still meets and exceeds commercial (ASTM) safety requirements for skid-resistance – even when it’s wet.
Cool™ is Affordable.
Given the benefits, you’d expect Cool™ to be considerably more expensive than other options, but it’s not. It’s actually the most affordable – especially if you consider it’s superior service life. Depending on the condition of your concrete deck, materials will typically average between $1.20-$1.60 per square foot. With an expected live well above ten years, your investment is only pennies per square foot over the service life!
Cool™ is Smart.
Imagine a pool deck coating that stays cooler than concrete and one that’s clean, durable, and safe. What else could you ask for? How about the best warranty in the business? Cool™ is backed with a 10-year warranty. This means that around the time other pool coatings are needing to be replaced, Cool™ is just getting started. Add it all up. Cool™ is not only the best pool deck coating option, it’s the smartest choice available!
