Building a swimming pool in Dubai requires more than just creative design – it demands structural strength and climate resilience. With temperatures often crossing 45°C and high humidity levels, pool shells can easily crack, leak, or weaken if not constructed properly.
This is where guniting and waterproofing play a crucial role. At Kame Landscape & Pools, we specialise in delivering pools that withstand Dubai’s harsh weather by using shotcrete technology, waterproof membranes, and advanced coatings.
What Is Guniting in Pool Construction?
Guniting (or shotcrete application) is the process of spraying a high-pressure mix of cement, sand, and water onto the steel-reinforced framework of the pool shell.
- Creates a dense, durable structure
- Ensures seamless coverage without weak joints
- Offers greater strength than traditional concrete pouring
💡 Did you know? Most of Dubai’s premium villas in Palm Jumeirah and Emirates Hills rely on shotcrete pools for long-lasting durability.
Why Guniting Is Essential for Pools in Dubai
- Resists cracking under intense heat and temperature fluctuations
- Enhances water retention, preventing leaks and seepage
- Supports heavy tiling and finishes, including marble and mosaics
- Longer lifespan, reducing repair costs

Waterproofing Techniques for Dubai Pools
Even the strongest pool shell requires effective waterproofing. Without it, water leakage can damage not only the pool but also surrounding landscaping and villa foundations.
1. Crystalline Waterproofing
- Penetrates the concrete surface
- Forms crystals that block micro-cracks
- Perfect for underground pool shells and pump rooms
2. Liquid Waterproof Membranes
- Applied as a coating to pool interiors
- Flexible and resistant to structural movement
- Popular for modern villa pools in Dubai Hills and Jumeirah Park
3. PVC Lining Systems
- Long-lasting and highly water-resistant
- Comes in decorative finishes
- Ideal for renovation projects and older villa pools
Protecting Pools from Dubai’s Harsh Climate
Dubai’s climate can accelerate wear and tear in swimming pools. Proper guniting and waterproofing protect your pool from:
- UV exposure – preventing cracks and fading
- Saltwater corrosion (for villas near the coast)
- High groundwater pressure in certain areas
- Thermal expansion from rapid temperature changes
The Complete Pool Durability Formula
- Steel reinforcement framework for strength
- High-pressure guniting for structural integrity
- Advanced waterproofing membranes for leak protection
- Premium tiling and finishing for aesthetics and longevity
