To make that happen, they needed a surface that was durable, stain resistant, easy to clean, cool underfoot, and visually appealing.
SUNDEK of Pennsylvania stepped in with the perfect solution: Classic Texture.
Before SUNDEK of Pennsylvania rehabbed the surface, it was in desperate need of some help. In addition to being dingy and outdated, the deck also experienced significant cracking.Classic Texture is SUNDEK’s original spray texture overlay system and has earned the trust of commercial property owners and homeowners alike. Its slip-resistant finish makes it a safe choice for any space, but especially wet areas such as pool decks. Its non-porous acrylic coating repels dirt, oils, and chemicals, cutting down on maintenance time and costs. This makes it perfect for shared pool areas that lots of people visit, and where spills from things like food, drink, or sunscreen might occur.
Varying texture levels of a Classic Texture application provide a comfortable walking surface that stays cooler than concrete, brick, or tile. On top of that, it’s one of the most economical and durable decorative concrete coatings available. Customers love that Classic Texture offers endless design potential since it’s customizable and can meet the needs of any style of space.
To address the cracks, SUNDEK of Pennsylvania also suggested incorporating their Custom Scoreline Effect. This technique works with the natural cracks that have already occurred on the surface. Instead of fighting against the cracks, which hardly ever works, SUNDEK includes them in the design when using this method. SUNDEK then creates additional scorelines to form a pattern that looks intentional. Learn more about this custom scoreline process.

Using the Classic Texture system and the Custom Scoreline technique, SUNDEK of Pennsylvania transformed the surface, making the space a spot that residents actually want to spend time in.Impressed with these benefits, the property managers at Saucon View Apartments decided to move forward with SUNDEK of Pennsylvania.
Before the resurfacing could begin, however, extensive prep work was required. The dated surface was very dirty in addition to having several areas with cracking and chipped concrete. Crews needed to scarify the surface to remove everything that would get in the way of the Classic Texture coating adhering properly. During the scarifying process, old coatings or failing toppings are removed, leaving behind a rough, textured profile that’s ideal for accepting the new coating. “On every project, we want to make sure that the existing surface provides the perfect canvas so the new coating of Classic Texture is guaranteed to be successful,” shares Mike Foreman, General Manager and Sales Representative for SUNDEK of Pennsylvania.
Once the surface was prepared, SUNDEK crews applied Classic Texture across the 2,419-square-foot pool deck using the color Pewter Gray. A light, neutral shade like Pewter Gray is a great choice for a pool deck. Not only does it complement a wide range of architectural styles, but it also reflects heat better than darker colors, keeping the surface comfortable for bare feet, even on the hottest days.
The transformation was exactly what the property managers hoped for. What was once a cracked and unattractive pool deck is now a safe, functional, and beautiful space that residents can enjoy for years to come.
