Kool deck pavers?

Had a request from a potential client yesterday that wanted kool deck pavers. I've seen the Kool deck that is applied to the top of a concrete surface but he doesn't want concrete. He does want pavers but I'm not aware of any "Kool deck pavers" or a Kool Deck application for pavers.
And I know I haven't seen any type of pavers with this Kool deck applied to them.

Any thoughts?

We specified this paver when I was in AZ: Artistic Paver Mfg
It looks like the Kool deck texture and it actually stays pretty cool underfoot.

It doesn't have the Kool deck coating or anything, but it might be an option if you can get it locally. When you're planning the install and what equipment to have on site, just be aware that these things are really heavy for the size.

You may want to look into the granitex line from techo. Besides that, I'm not sure anyone makes a kool deck like paver. Besides that, I thought there were alot of issues with kool decking peeling up over the years. At least that is what I've been told and also why I see very few kool decks installed lately.

had a customer for several years that had cool deck over concrete.....alot of footage...Friend of mine that got me the contract dabbled with concrete on the side.....He'd be there twice a year patching the cool deck.

One year was so bad.....after a very hard winter.....half was resurfaced in late spring......by mid summer the other half had to be redone.

That's the only time I ever saw it........reason why this guy has it is because his entire house was built in South West style and he knew of this cool deck from from Arizona.

From what I know.......he had just about everything for his home shipped in from Arizona....Other than framing and glass
