Why Choose SunPlay in Houston?

Concrete is durable, but it can be hard, hot, and slippery, especially in Southeast Texas conditions. SunPlay adds a cushioned, slip-resistant layer that makes outdoor environments more comfortable and inviting, particularly in areas where bare feet and wet surfaces are common.

Beyond comfort, SunPlay also offers:

  • Slip resistance for wet, high-traffic environments
  • Long-lasting color that resists fading from sun exposure
  • Resistance to chlorine and harsh chemicals
  • Low-maintenance with minimal upkeep required

The result is a surface that’s built for fun, but engineered to last through Houston’s demanding weather conditions.

Where Does SunPlay Work Best?

SunPlay is designed for spaces where safety, durability, and visual appeal all matter. Throughout Houston and the surrounding communities, it can be used in:

Community & commercial spaces

  • Community parks
  • Waterparks
  • Recreational zones
  • Waterfront communities

Residential & shared amenities

Anywhere people gather to play, relax, or cool off, SunPlay helps create a surface that’s safer and more enjoyable to use.

SunPlay is ideal for playgrounds, pool areas, splash pads, and anywhere else that aesthetics, safety, and durability are valued.

Can SunPlay Be Applied Indoors?

Yes. SunPlay is suitable for both indoor and outdoor spaces. Its cushioned, slip-resistant surface and customizable design make it a great solution for indoor pool areas, recreation centers, and play spaces. Property owners in Houston appreciate the added safety and comfort it provides in humid environments where moisture control is important.

Whether installed inside or out, SunPlay delivers the same durability, comfort, and visual appeal, creating a safer, more inviting environment wherever it’s applied.

This indoor space was resurfaced using SunPlay, transforming this pool area into a comfortable, durable surface that will last for years to come.

What Does SunPlay Look Like?

Functional doesn’t have to mean boring. SunPlay offers more than 12 standard color blends, along with the ability to create custom color combinations. From bright, playful designs to softer, more natural palettes, the finish can be tailored to match the personality of the space.

Designers and property owners can use color intentionally, creating visual zones, playful patterns, or cohesive designs that complement nearby architecture and landscaping.

SunPlay can be customized according to the style and needs of any location.

How Is SunPlay Installed?

Like any quality concrete coating system, SunPlay’s performance starts with proper preparation and ends with a protective finish. While installation should always be handled by trained professionals, here’s a high-level look at the process:

  1. Surface Preparation. New concrete must cure for at least 28 days before installation. Existing surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, with any coatings, paint, or sealers removed. Grinding or other preparation methods may be used to ensure proper adhesion. The surface must be completely dry before moving forward.
  2. Application. A SunPlay primer is applied first. Once dry, a polymer layer is spread evenly across the surface. A second layer follows, during which thermoplastic (TPV) granules are broadcast to create traction and texture. Additional layers can be added for increased depth or vibrancy. The system is finished with two coats of acrylic sealer for protection.
  3. Curing. SunPlay is ready for foot traffic within 12-24 hours and can safely handle water exposure after 48 hours, making it a great option for projects with tight timelines.

A Surface Designed for Play and Peace of Mind

SunPlay brings together comfort, color, and performance in one seamless system. Whether it’s a splash pad full of kids, a busy apartment pool deck, or a backyard retreat, this soft-surface coating helps create spaces that are safer, more inviting, and built to stand up to everyday use in Houston’s climate.

If you’re looking to upgrade your pool deck or play area, SUNDEK of Houston can help you design a surface that’s as durable as it is enjoyable.
