Our house had Kool Deck applied by T&D during construction. Even on the hottest days, you can walk barefoot on the concrete. NICE!
While we like it, after 5 years in the Florida sun, the Kool Deck is beginning to fade and look a little shabby in spots.
It appears to be some kind of flexible floor covering, kind of like a rubberized paint. We have a couple nickel-sized small spots that peeled off and you can feel the flexibility when you push on the edges of the hole.
We had some concrete cracks repaired and re-painted with the leftover paint -- the color and texture of the repaired area really never matched well.
We called T&D to ask about re-doing the lanai to keep it looking sharp, but they said while they do new applications, they no longer resurface areas already covered by Kool Deck. The person I spoke with didn't know or wouldn't provide the reasons behind their position.
I'm *guessing* that Kool Deck needs to be ground off before you can recover the concrete. That would be a messy, expensive proposition. I emphasize that I'm guessing as I have yet finish researching how to replace/recover ours...
