What Is Sundek Concrete Coating? (And Why Authorized Dealers Matter)

Sundek is a professional-grade brand of decorative concrete coatings used on pool decks, patios, driveways, garage floors, and commercial surfaces. Concrete Coatings Inc. (CCI) is the only authorized Sundek installer in Louisiana, South Mississippi, and South Alabama — and that distinction matters more than most property owners realize.
Here is what Sundek is, what it does, and why working with an authorized dealer is the only way to ensure the job is done correctly.

What Is Sundek?

Sundek is a product line manufactured by American Decorative Concrete (ADC). The brand covers everything from slip-resistant pool deck overlays to fast-cure polyaspartic garage floor coatings. Sundek products are not available off the shelf or through general building supply stores — they are sold exclusively through a licensed network of trained, certified contractors known as authorized dealers.

The brand has been a benchmark in the decorative concrete industry for over 50 years. Sundek products are specified by architects, installed in commercial facilities, and trusted by homeowners making a $4,000–$6,000+ investment in their property. That price point reflects what Sundek delivers: professional results that last, backed by a 2-year residential and 1-year commercial installation warranty.

The Full Sundek Product Line

CCI installs the complete range of Sundek coatings across the Gulf Coast. Each product is engineered for a specific surface and performance requirement.

Classic Texture is CCI’s primary service and the most common coating choice for pool decks. It is a decorative, slip-resistant overlay applied directly over existing concrete — creating a textured finish that is both durable and heat-resistant under the Louisiana sun. Classic Texture is the reason CCI is known on the Gulf Coast, and it is the product that protects thousands of residential and commercial pool decks across the region. → Learn more about pool deck resurfacing with Classic Texture

SunSplash is a spray-applied acrylic coating for pool decks and patios where additional UV protection is needed. It shares Classic Texture’s slip-resistance profile while offering enhanced color stability for surfaces with prolonged direct sun exposure. → Learn more about SunSplash

SunCoat is a water-based acrylic coating designed to resurface existing worn or faded coatings. If your pool deck or patio is chalking, cracking, or losing color, SunCoat restores the surface without requiring a base-layer removal. → Learn more about SunCoat

SunOne Polyaspartic is CCI’s choice for garage floors and commercial flooring applications. Polyaspartic technology cures faster than standard epoxy, resists heat and chemicals, and handles heavy foot and vehicle traffic — making it the right product for both residential garages and commercial facility floors. → Learn more about garage floor coatings

Spray Deck is a knockdown texture coating used on pool decks and light commercial surfaces where a subtler texture profile is preferred. It is applied in a similar fashion to Classic Texture and is equally suited to Gulf Coast climate conditions. → Learn more about Spray Deck

Sundek Mastic is a flexible joint sealant and repair compound used to address cracks and movement joints in concrete before a coating is applied. Skipping this step is one of the most common reasons coating jobs fail prematurely. CCI applies Mastic as a standard part of the prep process on every job where it is needed. → Learn more about Sundek Mastic

Why Authorized Dealers Are Not Optional

Anyone can purchase a bucket of coating material. Not anyone can call themselves a Sundek installer.

Authorized dealer status is granted by ADC only to contractors who have completed factory training, demonstrated consistent installation quality, and maintained an active relationship with the Sundek brand. It is not a designation that can be self-assigned. It has to be earned — and it can be revoked.

This matters for three reasons.

Product quality. Authorized dealers receive the full, properly formulated Sundek product line — not generic alternatives. The Classic Texture applied to your pool deck is the same material specified in commercial facilities and high-end residential projects across the country, mixed and applied according to factory standards.

Warranty protection. Sundek’s residential and commercial warranties are only valid when work is performed by an authorized installer. If a contractor applies a lookalike product through unauthorized channels and the coating fails, your warranty claim has no standing. The cost of repair falls entirely on you.

Accountability. Authorized dealers are connected to Sundek corporate. If a problem arises, there is a chain of responsibility. An unlicensed contractor applying a substitute product has no such accountability — and is often unreachable when issues surface 6 to 12 months after the job is done.

CCI: 37 Years as the Gulf Coast’s Only Authorized Installer

Concrete Coatings Inc. has held the exclusive Sundek authorized dealership for Louisiana, South Mississippi, and South Alabama for 37 years. That is not a marketing claim — it is a verifiable, continuously maintained dealership designation that CCI has held since 1987.

In those 37 years, CCI has applied Sundek coatings to residential pool decks, commercial properties, YMCA facilities, school campuses, and institutional buildings from New Orleans to Mobile. The depth of that experience is exactly what an authorized dealer relationship enables: full access to the Sundek product line, direct factory support, and institutional knowledge that no unlicensed contractor can replicate.

For property managers and commercial clients evaluating concrete coating contractors across the Gulf Coast, the authorized designation is also the most defensible choice when documenting scope of work for building management or insurance purposes. → Concrete coatings for property managers and commercial clients
