As highly respected residential pool builders specializing in gunite pool construction, we take great pride in transforming ordinary backyards into breathtaking retreats that exude elegance and opulence.
What Is a Gunite Pool?
A gunite pool is a custom pool with a rebar framework and concrete and sand surface. Using steel rebar instead of wood for framing and the concrete application process increases durability and allows for various shapes and sizes.
What is a Gunite Pool Made Of?
This type of pool is made of several layers, including a base layer, steel structural reinforcement, concrete and sand (gunite) basin, and plaster interior. Additional finishing materials, including tile, pebbles, natural stone, or pavers, are often used for coping (the capping around the edge of the swimming pool wall) and pool decks or patios.
Gunite Pool Installation
Our gunite pool installation is a multi-step process that begins with a custom design and ends with specialized finishing touches. Here’s what you can expect:
- Excavation: Once a design is approved, the installation process starts with excavation. We will use heavy machinery to dig a hole in your yard that matches your design’s depth, width, and shape. Stone or brick may be added to the hole for extra strength and support.
- Plumbing and Reinforcement: Once the hole is ready, our installation crew will install plumbing and steel rebar framework to reinforce the walls and floor of your pool.
- Gunite Application: A mixture of cement, sand, and water is applied using a high-pressure hose system. Nozzlemen spray the gunite in a thin layer over the pool frame to create the basin of your pool.
- Curing Time: Gunite can take about a month to fully cure. During the curing process, the installation team at Genco Pools & Spas will install coping and build any decking or patios according to your desired design.
- Finishing: After the basin is fully cured, pool circulation, heating, and filtration equipment are installed. Once everything is in place, the installation team will apply a waterproof plaster seal to the pool’s interior.
The Pros of Gunite Pools
This material is favored among homeowners for its strength, durability, and customizability. However, a gunite pool may not be the best choice for every property. At Genco Pools & Spas, we recommend you consider the pros and cons of gunite to determine if it’s the right option for your specific needs.
Pros
- Long-Lasting: Gunite pools are long-lasting and durable. They can be remodeled multiple times during their lifespan to help homeowners maximize their investment.
- Customizable: The installation process allows for high levels of customization to work with various properties and provide unique aesthetic appeal.
- Versatile: Gunite pools can be accessorized with various finishes to add visual and functional appeal.
- Aesthetic Appeal: They can be finished with materials like plaster, tile, or pebble, creating a luxurious look. They also allow for creative designs that enhance landscaping and outdoor aesthetics.
When comparing gunite pools to other pool types, it’s crucial to consider your long-term plans and the value added by gunite’s durability and longevity. Gunite pools are also infinitely customizable, while prefabricated inground pools limit choices.
