Infinity Concrete Mixers Inc delivers professional gunite installation services for pools, retaining walls, and complex structural features across Northeast Illinois. With over 25 years of industry experience and a reputation for dependable, in-house service, our team ensures every gunite project is installed with precision, strength, and long-term performance in mind.
Gunite is a high-velocity application method that sprays a dry mix of sand and cement through a hose, where water is added at the nozzle. The result is a dense, structural layer of concrete applied directly to a reinforced rebar framework. This process is ideal for creating custom pool shells and curved surfaces, offering far more design flexibility and strength than traditional poured concrete or fiberglass alternatives.
Our Gunite Installation Process
We begin every project with careful excavation and site prep, forming the shape and depth of the final structure. Next, our team installs a steel rebar framework that defines the contours of the pool or wall and provides the foundation for gunite adhesion. Our skilled nozzleman applies the dry-mix gunite using high-pressure air, adjusting the water content in real time to ensure proper consistency and bonding.
Once the gunite is applied, our crew shapes and smooths the surface using trowels and finishing tools—bringing your design to life with clean edges and even texture. This stage is where our experience really shines. We don’t subcontract; our in-house professionals handle every step to ensure quality control from start to finish.
Post-Application & Finishing Touches
After the application, the gunite must cure for several weeks. During this time, we help monitor moisture levels and ensure the shell is protected from debris or weather exposure. Once cured, the surface is ready for plastering, tiling, coping, and plumbing, completing the transformation from raw structure to a finished, functional pool or feature.
Why Choose Gunite?
Gunite offers several key advantages. It’s incredibly durable, customizable, and well-suited for challenging layouts or unique property grades. It also supports integrated features like steps, benches, and water elements without the need for extra forming or framing. When properly maintained, gunite installations can last for decades—making them a smart investment for property owners seeking both aesthetics and strength.
