Pool Deck Renovation – Replacing a Chipping Kool Deck

Pool Deck Renovation – Replacing a Chipping Kool Deck

Our 1 Day Coatings product line is, in our professional opinion (slightly biased), the best industrial floor coating product on the market. We can install our products in just one day and provide our clients with both a 5-year Commercial & 15-year Residential warranty.

On the flip side, there are many products that you can purchase “over the counter” at places like Lowes & Home Depot. Many of these “off brands” will give you an installation guide which makes the buyer feel empowered and capable of doing it themselves.

Unfortunately, most home owners quickly discover that applying floor coatings by themselves is harder than it appears. Problems often arise within a time period of a few months to a few years. Flaking, Chipping or De-laminating are the most common issues that we see in the field.

Manufacturers of these off-brand products do not provide their clients with a warranty. They can hind behind the mask of “not professionally installed.” This leaves the home owner holding the bill – with wasted product and a surface that is difficult to remove. It’s a frustrating circumstance and one that we see too often in our industry.

Here you can see the old Kool Deck system. Our client was experiencing peeling and chipping and contacted us to replace this existing floor system with our 1 Day Coatings product.

Removing an Old & Chipping Kool Deck Coating

This week, our teams removed a Chipping Kool Deck system from a back patio / pool deck. This home owner contacted us after they began to experience the same issues listed above. It’s applied correctly, Kool Deck is a wonderful product that provides many benefits to clients. For starters, it helps to cool the patio surface – which in Texas is a very nice benefit!

However, like all products, if they are not installed correctly (or if the product naturally starts to fail) they no longer become viable. Our client contacted us and requested for us to remove this Kool Deck system and install our 1 Day Coatings product instead. We were happy to fulfill this request and completed the project in just one day!

As you can see from the image above, our products provide a nice, smooth finish. Clients often refer to our system having an “orange-peel” like texture to it. It’s softer surface and higher surface traction creates a perfect surface for our clients to walk on barefoot. Our 1 Day Coatings product is extremely comfortable to walk on and provides long lasting benefits to our clients. Backed by a 15-year residential warranty, it’s hard not to see how our products are more comfortable, stronger and a better all around choice!

Here you can see our commercial grinder. We use these rigs to grind and remove existing floor coatings so we can expose a fresh layer of concrete. This is part of our “prep work” and it’s essential for a properly installed and long lasting product. We focus on the details!

We’ve Got The Tools: Commercial Floor Grinders

Removing a Kool Deck system (or any other system for that matter) requires some elbow grease and the right hardware. Because Kool Deck and other systems are applied with an epoxy bond coat, they have to be mechanically removed. We’ve invested some serious capital into industrial floor grinders so we can remove all types of durable surfaces.

Trust us, we see these types of floor coatings all the time! In fact, we are used to removing stubborn epoxy floor coatings and have done it on dozens of occasions. You might say that removing low quality floor coatings and replacing them with our high quality industrial floor coating is a specialty of ours!

Alas, this image shows our finished product and how beautiful our finished product looks on this pool deck!

Our Installation Process: Remove, Repair, Clean & Install

So, first things first – we utilize our commercial floor grinder to evenly remove the existing floor coating. We grind the floors evenly until we get down to a fresh layer of concrete – which is what our polyurea basecoat adheres to.

After the floor is ground down to a fresh layer of concrete we then look for defects and begin the repair process. Utilizing our CR Mender Repair System, we can fill and repair a wide array of cracks, pits and joints. Our CR Mender helps to create a smooth surface for our products to adhere to. It’s also the perfect time for us to repair your concrete and spot treat areas where failures may appear.

Thirdly, once we’ve repaired the concrete with the CR Mender, we can then clean the surface and apply our Polyurea Basecoat. This polyurea basecoat is highly durable and adheres to the fresh concrete – creating a solid bond coat. From here we distribute our Vinyl Chip Flakes and seal our finished product with our Polyurea Top Coat.

We Can Install on All Types of Surfaces

Our 1 Day Coatings product is brilliant because it can be installed on a wide array of surfaces. From pool deck coatings (such as this) to industrial floors and commercial kitchens – we’ve done it all! In fact, our clients love our products so much because it enhances their ability to enjoy their lives without worrying about their floors.

We provide our clients with an industrial floor coatings that won’t chip, peel or flake due to any of the following criteria:

  • Abrasions
  • Drops
  • Chemicals
  • UV Light
  • Foot Traffic
  • Scrapes or Scratches

Overall, it is a very simple product in regards to technicality, but it requires attention to detail and familiarity with installation. We’ve installed literally hundreds of Vinyl Chip Systems and have created some amazing results! For a portfolio of our work – check out both our Blog & Photo Gallery. Here you can see for yourself how we’ve made the difference in our clients homes, offices and commercial settings!

Custom Color Options: Blue Slate Stone

Here we’re showcasing a custom floor color that we designed and installed in a Fort Worth home. This garage had a nice spacious setting with broom finished concrete floors. Broom finished concrete floors are a common surface that we encounter. Home builders “upgrade” your home to them as an added benefit but they really don’t add any value to your home. Exposed concrete is susceptible to life and often cracks, stains, wear down, and look older with time.

Our team flipped this living space in just one day to bring out a beautiful & custom slate stone blue flooring system. This color option is part of our custom series (an option that we provide all of our customers). If you’re new to following 1 Day Coatings, this is a great time for you to browse our standard Color Options. It’s also a great opportunity to disclose – our colors are comprised of 100% Vinyl Chip Flakes. That means it’s also 100% customizable. Simply let us know what color of flakes you’d like to choose (we give you the complete lineup) and voila – your new industrial floors represent you and your lifestyle!

This is a great added value that our clients love. No longer do you have to go with colors that a flooring company tells you. No sir! Instead, you have the complete power to be you and represent your home, life, business, collegiate team or whatever makes you happy!

Repairing The Cracks & Crude Broom Finish

Aside from giving you 100% control over the color of your floors, we also repair the existing concrete surface before every installation. This is a crucial step that we don’t skip over. We take the time to expose a fresh concrete surface by using our commercial floor grinder to expose fresh aggregate.

We also clean out any material that might prevent a complete bond to our polyurea basecoat. This means removing all forms of elastic joint sealants, repairing cracks, filling joints and sanding down our surface. Our objective here is to develop a clean and essentially “sterilized” substrate for our products to adhere to. This is a classic misstep that inexperienced companies pass over and it leads to their downfall.

Our crews take the time to prepare your surface adequately (most important step) and then apply our renowned 1 Day Coatings products. Amazingly, we can do this entire process in just one day! How? We are factory trained & certified and backed by a superior residential & commercial warranty program. All this means that we have the skills and specialties to accomplish exactly what we say we’re gonna do in the time frame we say we’re gonna do it! We’re the flooring contractors that you can trust!

Our teams are highly detailed oriented and specialize in complex installations. We take the time to buff the concrete down to a fresh concrete surface and carefully treat delicate areas (such as this wooden floor). Secondly, we prep our surface for a successful installation and guarantee our work with a 5-year Commercial & 15-year Residential warranty!
