Gunite Spray for Pools
We are a qualified company in gunite work and pool
services in Toronto and the GTA region.
What is Gunite?
Gunite is made of sand, water, and cement, and it’s basically the same as regular concrete, with one important exception. Unlike traditional concrete, which is poured by section into wooden frames, gunite is applied in layers using a specialized spray gun. This means that gunite surfaces don’t have seams like traditional poured concrete, and this means that gunite pools are extra-durable.
Because it is applied using a compressed air “gun,” builders can spray concrete on vertical surfaces or curves. In addition to being a popular choice for inground pool construction, gunite is also used widely in things like road tunnels.
What We Do
Gunite swimming pools are popular for their versatility in shape, as well as their durability. Because of this, gunite is the most common pool type seen at many resorts, and now, homes. Considering a gunite swimming pool for your own backyard? Here are some options:
Swimming Pool Construction & Installation
Gunite allows for the creation of custom shapes and designs, and its durability makes it an ideal choice for pool structures.
Pool Renovation
Gunite can also be used to renovate existing swimming pools. It’s used to resurface pool interiors, and reinforce the pool structure.
Water Features
Gunite is used to create water features like waterfalls, fountains, and ponds in landscaping and garden designs.
Decorative Concrete
Gunite can be sprayed in artistic patterns and textures for aesthetic effects in landscaping and architectural projects.
Gunite Swimming Pool Construction & Installation
Installation of your new pool will begin with the digging of your pool shape and installation of the iron rebar. The rebar framework creates a grid around the perimeter of your pool and/or spa to reinforce the structure. You’ll begin to see your vision come to life as the Gunite & Pool Service team sprays a heavy coating of gunite around the rebar. The gunite is then smoothed and left to set.
Once set, your pool finish will be applied to your custom designed backyard. Plaster is the most common finish due to its wide range of color options to match your poolscape. If you’re interested in a more high-end and unique look, we also offer pebbled or tiled finish may be more your style.
Why Choose a Gunite Pool?
Five benefits of gunite swimming pools:
Customization
You can be flexible on everything from shape to added extras when you choose a gunite pool.
Strength
Because a gunite pool shell is sprayed as one continuous shape, you get no joints or cracks, giving you a stronger pool to stand the test of time.
Simplicity
Compared to other pool building methods, pools built with gunite are a lot easier and the construction team can control the mix more closely to deal with any potential issues.
Depth
You can achieve greater pool depths with gunite than with other pool forms since the strength of the shell can withstand the external pressure from the earth surrounding it.
Cost Effective
All the previous points in this list add up to make gunite a more cost-effective result for many pool builds where the only alternative is reinforced concrete.
Out of all of the available pools on the market, gunite pools are among of the most durable and are built to stand the test of time.
