What is a River Oaks, TX Gunite Swimming Pool?

Gunite is known as a dry sprayable cement that is a mix of sand and concrete. When it is applied, it is sprayed from a high-pressure hose and then mixed with water. Once fully cured, it’ll form a durable and long-lasting material in the shape of your pool. This is what forms the shell of your gunite swimming pool.

There are many benefits to having a gunite pool. Gunite is a high-quality concrete pool that provides durability and is completely customizable, unlike other types of pool shells. Some people have gone with gunite swimming pools so they could have unique shapes, such as a freeform pool, a pool shaped like a guitar, or even a fish.

Another benefit is that these pools are highly durable, which prevents people from worrying about leaks, shrinking, or cracks. They tend to last longer than traditional vinyl pool shells, but they don’t last as long as fiberglass pools. Instead, they’re more affordable than fiberglass, making gunite a happy medium between vinyl and fiberglass pools.

Designing Your Gunite Pool

Enjoy your summer by having a stylish remodeled pool from JR Pool Plastering and Texas Gunite.

The first to any successful pool remodeling project is to plan it out. When you first call us, we’ll put you in touch with our designer, so that you can tell them all the details you want to include in the pool renovation. Our designer will go through each detail and walk you through the process step by step.

We can discuss the shape of your pool, the material for the surface of the pool, your pool coping and tile designs, whether you want to have a pool deck, any additional water features, if you want to add an attached spa or hot tub, a tanning ledge, etc. Once we’ve gone through everything you could possibly want in your pool, we’ll draft up a design for your eyes. We’ll only start digging up your old pool once you approve of the design.

The next step is to bring your newly designed pool to life. We can make minor repairs to major renovations for your pool to create the perfect outdoor living space for you. If you only need a new plaster or finish on your surface, we can do it quickly. And if you’re planning on excavating your entire pool to recreate the space, we can still be in charge of the pool project for you.

Since you’re upgrading your current pool into a gunite swimming pool, you’ll have more design options than before (if you had a vinyl shell). If the swimming pool of your dreams is something unconventional, a gunite swimming pool might be the right call for your design. Call our team today to see what our designers can whip up for you.

Saltwater and Gunite Pools

Many people want to switch to saltwater pools. That’s because, unlike chlorine, salt water is less abrasive, which is great for your skin. However, salt water might not be the greatest treatment for your gunite swimming pool. Put simply, salt water and concrete don’t mix very well.

Saltwater may have more benefits for us, but it’s more abrasive to concrete surfaces. Your pool’s finish or plaster will wear down faster than if you had a chlorine pool. Rough patches on the surface can cause scrapes and scratches, and once the rough patches cause too much damage or become visible, you’ll want to resurface your pool. And, then, you’ll find that you’re replastering your pool more often than when you have a vinyl pool shell.

Your dream pool awaits. Get in touch with JR Pool Plastering & Texas Gunite to learn more about upgrading to a gunite swimming pool.

Not all features, such as fountains, splash pads, etc., can push saltwater through. The saltwater could damage the features if they aren’t made explicitly for saltwater, so if you want to change your pool to a saltwater pool, talk with JR Pool Plastering and Texas Gunite Ltd. They can help you find ways to make your pool agree with your water treatment.
