When it comes to creating outdoor spaces that combine luxury, safety, and functionality, a Commercial Gunite Swimming Pool is one of the best investments a community can make. At Gappsi, we specialize in designing and building high-quality pools. They are tailored to the specific needs of both residential and commercial properties. Our latest project took us to Commack, NY. We had the privilege of installing a stunning gunite swimming pool for the Sutton Landing community, catering to residents over 55.
This project showcases not only our craftsmanship but also our dedication to designing pools. This serves both recreational and therapeutic purposes for community members. Below, we’ll walk you through the design, features, and benefits of this pool installation. In addition, gunite pools remain the top choice for commercial communities.
Project Overview: A Pool Designed for Community Living
At Sutton Landing in Commack, the management team sought to offer their residents a pool that was both aesthetically pleasing and functional. We designed and installed a 20×40 Commercial Gunite Swimming Pool, perfectly sized for community use.
The pool has a depth of 4 feet 8 inches at the deep end and 3 feet at the shallow end, making it safe and accessible for a wide range of users. Since this is an over-55 community, safety and accessibility were two of the highest priorities during the design process.
Accessibility Features: Built for Everyone
Accessibility is essential for a Commercial Gunite Swimming Pool, particularly in a senior living environment. We installed rounded-corner stairs in the shallow area for easy entry and exit. The rounded design minimizes sharp edges, adding both comfort and safety for swimmers.
Additionally, we have included a pool lift to accommodate individuals with mobility challenges. This feature ensures that every resident, regardless of physical ability, has the opportunity to enjoy the pool. Accessibility upgrades like these are not only thoughtful but also align with ADA compliance standards for commercial pool installations.
Finishes and Materials: A Pool Built to Last
Durability and low maintenance are key factors in commercial pool construction. For this project, we lined the pool below the coping with premium porcelain tile, a long-lasting and visually appealing option that resists water and chemical damage.
The pool interior was finished with Super Blue Diamond Brite, a material known for its strength, resilience, and attractive color. This finish creates a sparkling blue appearance that enhances the overall aesthetic while withstanding years of use. Diamond Brite is one of the most trusted finishes for commercial pools because it resists fading and staining, making it ideal for community environments where heavy use is expected.
Patio and Coping: Function Meets Design
The pool deck and surrounding area play a crucial role in the functionality and appeal of a Commercial Gunite Swimming Pool. For Sutton Landing, we installed a spacious patio using Nicolock concrete paving stones in a random pattern. The stones vary in size—16×24, 16×16, and 16×8 inches—creating a visually interesting and sophisticated look.
The coping is a 24-inch commercial bullnose, specifically designed with safety in mind. The bullnose extends to the pool’s edge and slightly upward, reducing the risk of tripping and providing a smooth transition from patio to pool. Safety features like this are essential in communities with older residents.
Landscaping and Furnishings: Creating a Resort-Like Setting
The pool is not just a place to swim, it’s a centerpiece for relaxation and social gatherings. At Sutton Landing, the pool area is beautifully landscaped and thoughtfully furnished. The landscaping softens the hardscaping and adds a natural touch, while the furniture provides residents with numerous options for lounging, sunbathing, or socializing.</p></p>
Together, these elements create an inviting environment that feels more like a private resort than a typical community pool. This attention to detail enhances residents’ quality of life and increases the property’s overall value.
Why Choose a Commercial Gunite Swimming Pool?
When planning a pool for a community or commercial space, several options are available, including vinyl and fiberglass. However, gunite remains the gold standard for commercial applications. Here’s why:
1. Durability
Gunite pools are constructed with reinforced concrete, making them exceptionally strong and durable. Unlike other pool types, they can withstand heavy use and extreme weather conditions without compromising their structure.
2. Design Flexibility
One of the most significant advantages of a Commercial Gunite Swimming Pool is the freedom it offers in design. Shapes, sizes, depths, and features can all be customized to meet the needs of the community. For Sutton Landing, we created a pool that balances recreation with accessibility, a feature that wouldn’t be easily achieved with other pool types.
3. Low Maintenance
With finishes like Diamond Brite and porcelain tile, gunite pools require less maintenance over time. This is a key consideration for community pools that experience daily use and require regular maintenance to remain in top condition for residents.
4. Aesthetic Appeal
Gunite pools have a timeless elegance that elevates any property. They can be finished with a variety of materials, from plaster to aggregates, allowing for a polished and professional appearance.
