Concrete Coatings Inc. has installed Sundek coating systems across Louisiana, South Mississippi, and South Alabama for 37 years, and we remain the only authorized Sundek installer in the region. Two of our most requested residential systems are Spray Deck and SunCoat — both slip-resistant, both built for pool decks and patios, and each suited to a slightly different job.
Spray Deck is a knockdown-texture coating, similar in feel to Classic Texture, applied to new or previously uncoated concrete pool decks, patios, and light commercial walkways. SunCoat, by contrast, is a water-based, UV-stable acrylic coating designed specifically to resurface an existing coating that has worn down, faded, or begun to peel — a common situation on Louisiana pool decks that are eight to ten-plus years past their last coating.
Both systems are engineered to hold up to Gulf Coast pool season — chlorine and salt exposure, direct sun, and months of bare feet on the surface — without the fading or slip-resistance loss that lower-grade coatings develop within a season or two.
Whichever system fits your deck, Concrete Coatings Inc. installs it to Sundek’s manufacturer-certified standard, built to hold up to Louisiana’s heat, humidity, and pool season traffic.
Spray Deck vs. SunCoat — Which Is Right for Your Deck?
Choose Spray Deck if: your concrete is new, bare, or has never been coated. Spray Deck’s knockdown texture gives pool decks and patios a slip-resistant, cool-to-the-touch finish similar to Classic Texture.
Choose SunCoat if: your deck already has a coating that’s faded, chalky, peeling, or slippery. SunCoat resurfaces the existing surface, restoring color and slip resistance without a full concrete tear-out.
Both systems: slip-resistant, UV-stable, and backed by CCI’s manufacturer-certified Sundek installation.
How We Determine Which System Fits Your Deck
CCI evaluates the existing concrete on-site before recommending a system — checking for surface condition, existing coating wear, drainage, and any cracking or joint damage that needs repair before a new coating goes down. Bare or never-coated concrete typically points to Spray Deck; a deck with a coating that’s chalky, peeling, or losing its slip resistance typically points to SunCoat resurfacing.
Both systems are installed to Sundek’s manufacturer-certified standard and backed by CCI’s two-year residential and one-year commercial warranty, giving homeowners and property managers the same coverage regardless of which system fits their deck.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between Spray Deck and SunCoat?
Spray Deck is a knockdown-texture coating for new or uncoated concrete, while SunCoat is a resurfacing system for decks with an existing worn or faded coating. CCI can evaluate your deck and recommend the right one.
How do I know if my pool deck needs resurfacing instead of a new coating?
If your existing coating is faded, chalky, or peeling, SunCoat resurfacing is typically the right fit. If the concrete is bare or has never been coated, Spray Deck or Classic Texture are better starting points.
How long do Spray Deck and SunCoat last?
Both systems are built for long-term durability in Gulf Coast conditions, and CCI backs every installation with a two-year residential and one-year commercial warranty. Actual lifespan depends on pool chemical exposure, foot traffic, and maintenance, which CCI reviews during the on-site evaluation.
Do Spray Deck and SunCoat cost the same?
Pricing depends on square footage, surface condition, and whether repair work is needed before coating. Because SunCoat resurfaces an existing coating rather than starting from bare concrete, CCI provides a specific quote for each system after the on-site evaluation.
