Gunite Swimming Pools
Gunite swimming pools make an excellent addition to any outdoor space. More durable than pools lined with vinyl, gunite pools are instead made of a mixture of sand and concrete and sometimes accented with tile. Gunite pools are easier to customize than pools lined with vinyl.
When you own a gunite pool you will never have to worry about a pool liner ripping or tearing. There are many more options for pool shape as opposed to pools with vinyl liners that usually restricted to standard shapes. A gunite pool will last a lot longer than a pool lined with vinyl.
You will have many different options for cleaning a gunite pool. You can vacuum it like standard pools or you can drain it every few years and give it a good scrub! Tiled gunite pools, especially, will need to be scrubbed in order to keep them clean.
Gunite swimming pools are almost always inground. You do not have to stick to a standard shape; a designer can help you customize your new pool to your exact specifications. Whether you are looking for round, extra wide or super long you will be able to have exactly what you want.
Pools can be made with gunite only. There is no need to tile if you do not want to. Smooth and durable gunite will look fine by itself.
However, if you are looking for a little more flair, gunite pools that are tiled add a beautiful decorative touch. You can find a huge selection of tiles designed to be used in pools. These tiles come in many colors and styles that will make your pool even more unique.
You can have a gunite deck added to surround your beautiful new swimming pool. Gunite is a great material to use for your pool deck because not only will it match, it is super durable. It also will create an area that is easy to surround with a safety fence.
You will find that there are so many options for gunite swimming pools; it will be difficult at first to decide on what you really want! The best thing about gunite pools are all the choices for customization you will have. Keep it plain or add some tile to make your customized pool even more unique. If you are getting ready to say goodbye to that difficult to maintain vinyl lined pool or are first time pool owner, you will love the convenience and beauty of gunite!
