At JR Pool Plastering and Texas Gunite, we specialize in gunite pools. What is gunite? Gunite is a form of sprayable cement made up of dry cement mix, sand, and water. The combination is sprayed onto a 3D rebar structure out of a high-pressure hose. Gunite pools undergo a special curing process that helps prevent cracking and leaking in the future.
Gunite pools are known for their durability and flexibility of design. The sprayable cement can take on any shape forming clean, exact lines or gently flowing curves with ease. Using gunite, we can remodel or add to a modern geometric pool in ways that complement its clean linear look, or we can create a shady nook in the curving edge of a freeform pool. Whatever your vision, we can make it happen with gunite.
Versatile
One of the main benefits of gunite is its flexibility. This versatile cement can take on any shape a client desires. Are you interested in adding a square or rectangular spa to the clean geometry of your modern pool? We can easily make that addition using gunite. Instead, are you interested in making your boxy outdated pool into a freeform oasis? We can achieve any shape of your choice with gunite.
Protection
Pool finishes and coping help protect your gunite pool. The added support prevents the surface from wearing and becoming too rough to your touch and lowers the likelihood of your pool shell cracking or leaking. We highly recommend considering investing in a Wet Edge pool finish, especially one of their premium pebbled options. Contact our experts to discuss which options are right for you.
Durable
Gunite pools are known for their durability and longevity. This strength comes from two elements of the application process. Firstly, gunite is sprayed over a 3D rebar structure. The rebar gives the gunite its shape but also offers an incredible amount of support for years to come. Secondly, the gunite goes through a specific curing process that helps the structure stand strong against major weather changes.
Application
Gunite is applied in a very specific process. After any necessary excavation or demolition is completed, a wooden framework is established to mark the perimeter of your project. Next, the rebar structure is laid out. Any necessary concrete bases are poured to ensure stability and added durability. Finally, the gunite is sprayed over the rebar. This structure is then monitored and cured over the course of several days.
